How do employers feel about their participation in the LGPS?
LGPS Employers Survey Results
04 Mar 2020
In October 2019, we launched a survey specifically for LGPS employers. We wanted to give employers the opportunity to share their views about their participation in the LGPS.
The three key themes that were reflected in the responses were:
- The high cost of providing LGPS benefits, although many of you also recognise that the high cost reflects a valuable benefit for staff.
- A desire for improved technology solutions to support the administration of their employees' LGPS benefits.
- More communication to employees to help them understand their LGPS benefits.
How can we help?
While we can’t control the cost, as that’s ultimately defined by the benefits that are earned by members, we can help you understand how your contributions are set and the factors that influence the rate you pay. Watch our short video below for more information.
We’ll also be sharing your feedback with Funds to ensure they’re aware of the top priorities for the employers they service, particular around administration support to be supported by better technology solutions.
Please feel free to join our LinkedIn group where we share information relevant to LGPS employers, helping employers to understand the wider LGPS environment.
Please contact Julie West or any of our employer services team for further support or advice.
