Questions for Employers

Are you a business expanding into a new country?
What pension plans will you provide to local employees?

The rules and regulations for pension plans vary enormously around the world. The need for pension plans in a given country depends on the level of state pensions, market practice, your company’s growth plans, and how important they need to be to attract and retain employees. 

Have your local advisers suggested you take certain actions to manage pension plans locally?
Do you think the suggestions are a sensible course of action or could there be other options?

Some options will be easier than others, but have different financial impacts. Some local advisors may not have experience of all the options or have conflicts of interest. Haines Global Pensions can use its 30 years of experience of working with multinationals to understand and make decisions on what to do to manage risk in countries of all sizes.

Are you an employer with pension plans round the world, but limited time to manage the plans?
How can you best manage and control these plans?

Not all companies have global pension managers, and indeed benefit managers may have limited experience of managing pension plans. I have deep experience of helping companies, put in place governance arrangements so Haines Global Pensions can provide interim or specialist support to employers; act as an advisor to Global Pension Committees, or be a trusted independent sounding board to senior company officers.
