Kimberly Bradshaw, managing director of Buzzacott's HR
consultancy, talks to HFMWeek about the recent results
from research by the firm on the impact of auto-enrolment in the
industry.
Auto-enrolment legislation helps address the pension gap in an
ageing population and ensures that all employees are provided for
in their later years, to some extent. All employers have to
introduce auto-enrolment by 2017, irrespective of size or
structure. Some are embracing it and using it as the opportunity to
focus on a number of positive changes, others are putting it into
place kicking and screaming. As it is now just over a year since
the legislation came into force, the employee solutions team at
Buzzacott commissioned some unique research comparing the reality
of those who had already been through auto-enrolment with the
expectations of those who are yet to do so. The results were quite
unexpected.
