Confusion Still Surrounds Auto-Enrolment, According to White Paper from Meridian Business Support
A White Paper from Meridian Business Support, the UK’s leading independent recruitment company, highlights the serious lack of awareness of key areas of auto-enrolment within both the permanent and temporary workers sectors.
Altrincham, United Kingdom, November 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- A White Paper from Meridian Business Support, the UK’s leading independent recruitment company, highlights the serious lack of awareness of key areas of auto-enrolment within both the permanent and temporary workers sectors.
The Paper, the first in a series examining the implications of pension reform as it is gradually implemented, presents an overview of legislation, a glossary of technical terms and a list of resources. Serving as a practical, usable and shareable reference point for professionals, the report additionally focuses on the points of clarification required, drawing attention to various knowledge gaps and anticipated problems, particularly for the UK’s temporary workforce.
Targeted at in-house recruiters, HR specialists and recruitment agency management, the Paper also provides guidance on how to "prepare for pitfalls"; the surprise scenarios and test-cases that are anticipated to arise in the wake of auto-enrolment. Identifying areas of vulnerability, the Paper details areas in which companies might need to build robustness for protection against negative outcomes and prepare to exploit positive ones.
The Paper follows Meridian Business Support’s hugely successful round-table summit on Agency Workers Regulations (AWR) earlier this year, which was hailed as being crucial in helping recruiters and HR professionals gain an authoritative view on the impact of the regulation and how it should be implemented.
Mark Mitchell, chief executive and author of the document, says: “We have been preparing for auto-enrolment for some time, but it became clear that much of the information we required simply wasn’t available. We’ve produced this White Paper to try and gather together all of the information that’s available and, in doing so, have exposed some important knowledge gaps.
“The Paper is very much seen as a starting point for discussion on auto-enrolment. We have set up a LinkedIn group for fellow professionals where they can ask questions, share information and raise concerns. We anticipate plenty of activity over what is a very extensive piece of legislation, and any interesting points raised will be incorporated into future documents as the process continues.”
