Pension plans can have a major impact on the financial results of companies and pose long-term risks to their sponsors and employees. Getting the right pension design can also make a difference in the war for talent: research suggests flexibility and choice are important parts of an effective pension offering. Reorganising or redesigning plans can be a complex and multi-dimensional process where you need a full range of skills to implement change.
Local regulations also need to be followed: pension plans are mandatory for Swiss employers but there are multiple design options and providers to choose from. Compliance with pension fund regulations is proving increasingly burdensome, while governance and transparency are constantlyin the headlines.
