What we do
Crucial points of contact
We’ll provide you with a dedicated engagement officer, who will give you that all-important individual support.
System navigation
We will support and guide you through the employer portal and the submission of information to LPPA.
Informative classroom learning
We can offer you regular employer training, ranging from our introductory Scheme Essentials sessions, to teaching you about the more technical areas of pensions.
Helpful guides
We produce a range of supportive literature for employers to help you grow and build your pension knowledge. From pension estimate leaflets to booklets about bereavement, our guides aim to cut through the noise and tell you what you need to know.
Continuous Support
Our YouTube channel has lots of helpful videos to support and guide you through specific processes and the technical aspects of pensions.
A dedicated website
We’ve dedicated an area of our website www.lppapensions.co.uk/employers/ specifically to employers. This includes a range of engaging content that’s jargon-free and easy to understand, aiming to take the complication out of pensions.
Dedicated employer contact form
You’ll find a dedicated employer contact form on the Contact Us page of the LPPA website. This allows you to contact our team for support and guidance any time you need it.
Beneficial bulletins and newsletters
We’ll keep you updated on news and developments in LPPA and across the wider pension world. We do this by sending you a newsletter twice a year, as well as bulletins that aim to address sector-specific information for employers.
Imperative online learning
We plan and deliver effective online learning, which is designed to educate you, build your knowledge and support your needs. This aims to add value to your role as an employer and, in turn, provide your members with the best experience.
Practitioner conferences
While providing a way to effectively update and train Employers, we hold these annual conferences to help you build, develop and maintain a strong working relationship with us.
Client forums
Aimed specifically at LPPA Clients, we hold these beneficial forums twice a year. The content is driven by key Client feedback, while providing an opportunity for us to share LPPA’s goals and achievements with you.
Member/Employer forums
Arranged and supported by the Employer Engagement Team, these events are available for the Members and Employers of a selection of our Clients. This allows more specific topics and issues to be looked at and discussed in detail.
By responding to your needs, we can help you help your Members. But another way we can help you is by delivering a Member engagement programme of activities. From online presentations, campaigns to collaborations, these activities aim to fully support Members and, in turn, benefit you.
Presentations to educate
These engaging presentations for members, such as our monthly Scheme Essentials sessions, aim to help them understand all aspects of their pension. This ranges from retirement planning to redundancy options and taking pensions early.
Presentations to address scheme change
These insightful sessions aim to explain scheme changes and developments to Members. For example, when a new scheme is introduced, or a change in legislation is made, such as the upcoming age discrimination legislation, McCloud.
Campaigns to reach out
These effective campaigns are carried out to ensure we can reach out to Members when we need to. This includes ensuring their personal contact details are up to date to help with anything from reducing elapsed times, to encouraging Members to register for our online service.
Collaborations to raise our profile
Working with others is a key part of what we do to increase awareness of our services, communicate more effectively, and raise our strong Team profile. This includes meeting with new employers and working collaboratively with teams across our business.
We offer a range of different online sessions throughout the year. Click below to make a booking.
