Scottish Life, the pensions specialist arm of the Royal London Group, has launched knowledge builder, designed to help advisers improve their knowledge of automatic enrolment and the employer duties.
Automatic enrolment will be a big challenge for employers and they are likely to look to their adviser for help. The automatic enrolment knowledge builder will help advisers make the most of this opportunity by providing them with the information they will need to talk about automatic enrolment confidently.
The knowledge builder is broken down into six sections, including a quiz for advisers to test how much they already know and identify any gaps in their knowledge.
The six sections are:
1. When it's happening
2. The effect on pension schemes
3. The effect on the workforce
4. The employer duties
5. The Pensions Regulator
6. Test your knowledge
Scottish Life has also produced a handy reference guide to automatic enrolment and the employer duties which can be downloaded from the Scottish Life automatic enrolment microsite, www.scottishlife.co.uk/ae
Jamie Clark, Business Development Manager at Scottish Life, commented:
"As we draw ever closer to the introduction of automatic enrolment, more and more employers are becoming aware of the issues and are looking for help. Our knowledge builder will help advisers improve their understanding of what it all means, so they can add value to their business by helping employers prepare.
"And as part of our commitment to the corporate market, we'll continue to add support material to our microsite ahead of the launch of our automatic enrolment proposition."
