Phoenix Group

It’s our mission to close the savings gap & help people prepare for the retirement they dream of. We want to drive meaningful and long-lasting change for better futures.

Start new employment and you’re automatically added into a workplace pension by your employer. The introduction of auto-enrolment has been a success in helping people save & better prepare for retirement. But is it supporting you to save enough?

What’s a workplace pension? And, what if we increased the minimum contributions?

We asked 2,000 adults in the UK about managing childcare & work over the school holidays. Have the school holidays caused problems for you at work? Read more here > https://lnkd.in/evdQx-Wq *Stats quoted are reference within the article

Struggled with childcare over the summer holidays? The topic of flexible working has no doubt been a hot topic in offices across the country, as parents look to juggle childcare commitments with work and consider alternative jobs or ways of working. Being able to manage work and life is crucial in preparing for your retirement. Claire Hawkins, our Director of Corporate Affairs and Investor Relations, discusses her own squiggly career, top tips on how to progress, and part-time working while raising a family, on the Timewise and Phoenix Insights podcast here > https://lnkd.in/eySwn94B

Each of us can make a difference. Together, small changes to our habits can soon build up to have a positive impact.

At Phoenix, we have amazing people doing incredible things. Andy Briggs MBE , our CEO, and his family committed to taking on a fundraising challenge to raise money for Carers UK, who we partnered with earlier this year as part of our ‘Caring for Carers’ initiative to restore balance to the lives of working carers. The first leg of the challenge - climbing to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), then the second challenge, and time for Andy to face his fear of heights - Velocity (Zip World UK), the world’s fastest zip line, with speeds of up to 100mph through the Penryhn Quarry! Andy has raised an incredible £15,300* (and still rising!) for Carers UK. *includes company matching and subject to audit completion

Timothy Fassam, our Director of Public Affairs, outlines the urgent need for a plan to review the pension landscape.
