UK employers have invested heavily in financial wellbeing initiatives, yet engagement remains low and behaviour change is limited.

This practical 40-minute webinar explores why the focus is shifting from financial wellbeing to financial resilience, and why many well-intentioned interventions have failed to create lasting impact.

We’ll look at how employees really make financial decisions, why information alone rarely changes behaviour, and what financial resilience looks like in practice.

Most importantly, we’ll focus on what employers can do now, using existing pay, pensions and benefits more effectively to reduce financial stress and improve outcomes.

We cover:

• 4 practical no cost steps to get more value from existing employee benefits

• Why many financial wellbeing initiatives have struggled to deliver results

• Why a narrower focus on financial resilience has more impact

• The direct link between employee financial resilience and business risk

Auto enrolment duties are often seen as something employers can set up once and leave alone. In reality, ongoing changes to payroll, workforce structure, salary sacrifice arrangements and pension legislation mean many schemes have drifted out of compliance over time, but with employers being completely oblivious.

Between July and December 2024, The Pensions Regulator issued 31,740 compliance notices and 21,504 fixed penalty notices; a total of over 100,000 in 2024!  This shows that auto enrolment compliance remains a live issue for the regulator and employers.

In this session, we will share findings from over 100 employer reviews and highlight where issues most commonly arise, including risks that are often overlooked.

We will cover:
