The cost of everything is rising and for pension scheme members, this means their money priorities are changing too.

Right now, talk of saving and financial wellbeing may feel misplaced, and for those running pension schemes it can be difficult to know how to support their members both today and for the future.

Drawing on principles of crisis communication and behavioural psychology, our webinar shares practical approaches and strategies to the cost-of-living crisis. Exploring:

  • Why it’s important to understand the contexts of peoples’ lives when communicating about money and pensions
  • How bringing behavioural science principles into your communication can help at a time of crisis
  • And practical examples of how pension schemes can support their people
