Think offering a workplace pension is good enough? We’ll let you in on a secret… If you’re only contributing 3% to your employees’ pensions, then you’re just hitting the basics. Why? In the UK, all employers have to offer a workplace pension. The minimum amount being 8% total contributions (5% from the employee, 3% from the employer). We've benchmarked thousands of companies and found that the highest scoring companies are offering at least 10% employer pension contributions. Want to be a top employer?
