With defined contribution (DC) plans growing in prominence globally, achieving good outcomes for plan participants is a crucial part of employee financial wellbeing.

We were delighted to be joined by Stéphanie Payet from the OECD for a discussion on some of the initial findings from their global study on how to address hardship in retirement, which aims to define a policy framework for DC pension systems that will address inadequate levels of retirement saving across diverse socio-economic groups and employments worldwide. 

We explored areas of plan design – both accumulation and pay out phases – as well as considerations around diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), employee communication and engagement, and employers’ views on their role in providing pension plans.

Key topics covered

• Trends in DC pensions provision globally.
• Initial findings from the OECD's research.
• Potential future developments in employer-sponsored DC plans.
