Transition to Retirement - It's bigger than just Super!

Superannuation is only part of a broader framework that supports Transition to Retirement (TTR).  Your fund needs to understand how ageing population and other key trends will impact on the workforce and employers. This session provides valuable insight to assist superannuation funds to more effectively engage members and employers.

 

Overview

A recent government announcement projects Australia's population will explode by almost two-thirds in the next 40 years.

The growth, however, will be overwhelmingly concentrated in the older demographic - "posing an economic threat that is as serious as climate change."

Post GFC, we believe the skill shortage will resurface - with the balance of power set to shift to employees - as supply of workers drops below demand.

Over the next year, for example, Australia is expected to pass peak employment, with more people leaving the workforce than entering it. If this eventuates, it will transform the Australian workforce and the concept of retirement.

It will also have major implications for superannuation funds who wish to provide services that complement employer initiatives.

Superannuation at the worksite
In a competitive market, employers will expect superannuation funds to provide programs beyond "retirement seminars" at the worksite.

A number of organisations are now including a holistic Transition to Retirement (TTR) approach in their benefits and EB Agreements, a sign that TTR is moving from a seminar or workshop into a process "signed-off" by key stakeholders.

Topics

• Key demographic drivers and their impact on superannuation
• Where TTR fits into the picture
• The changing role of superannuation at the worksite
• Case studies and exemplar programs
• It will also provide a "blueprint" for successful "partnerships" with employers

Who Should Attend?

This session is highly recommended for trustee directors, business development managers, and senior superannuation fund staff.
