New 2015 member communications material
- The latest member communications material about the 2015 pension changes will be published on the new scheme website on 30 October 2014.
- You should direct your workforce to the new online information.
- We recognise that not all employees have access to a PC, so we have published the communications in formats (or provided alternatives in the case of the videos) that are easy to print off.
- It is important that your workforce reads the latest information to help them understand what the introduction of alpha will mean for them. The products are:
- Issue 3 of the Pension Changes Update.
- ‘An introduction to alpha’ video that outlines the key features of the scheme.
- A storyboard of the video and a text only transcript; and
- Updated FAQ content and member case studies to answer some of the questions your workforce may have.
- You may wish to use the suggested message at Annex A below in your internal communications to direct your workforce to the latest alpha information.
System requirements for video playback
Please see EPN395 for the system requirements to enable video playback.
