The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has today launched HR PensionsConnection, a new specialist service aimed at providing information and support to HR professionals involved in their organisation’s workplace pension. Pension issues ranging from the impact of Personal Accounts and auto-enrolment, remuneration policy, recruitment strategies and regulations will be covered.

The new service, free for a year, will give HR professionals direct access to the latest developments and thinking on pensions, as well as providing a network where the impact of pensions can be discussed. Membership benefits include:-

  • Quarterly newsletters – featuring latest news, views and interviews.

  • Speaker evenings – where members can hear from leading professionals.

  • A specialist website – including online polls, surveys and a discussion forum.

  • Free subscriptions to NAPFnews and PolicyWatch.

  • A free place at the 2008 NAPF Annual Conference and Exhibition which includes a programme stream for HR professionals.

    Membership of HR PensionsConnection is open to anyone in an organisation who is involved in pensions in an HR capacity. The organisation does not have to be a NAPF member. Join at www.napf.co.uk/hrconnection

    Joanne Segars, NAPF Chief Executive, said: “Workplace pensions issues have never been more complex and will become even more so in the next few years with the introduction of personal accounts and auto-enrolment.

    “We know that HR managers are dealing with pension issues more than ever before. We have developed the HR PensionsConnection service to help HR professionals meet the growing challenge of dealing with today’s workplace pensions.”
