Mercer has announced the launch of a series of courses that set a new benchmark for trustee training. The Confident Trusteeship courses offer trustees practical advice on decision making in the boardroom for the effective management of defined benefit (DB) or defined contribution (DC) pensions schemes.
The courses focus on building on the basic knowledge provided by the Regulator’s Trustee Toolkit. A major emphasis of the courses is to develop trustees’ skills beyond standard technical knowledge by working with interactive case studies to bolster trustee ability to make effective decisions, for example in funding negotiations with the sponsor or the creation of effective member communication programmes.
Developed from Mercer’s extensive experience working closely with thousands of trustee boards, the courses use real life case studies and promote decisive scheme governance through interactive learning.
Elizabeth Renshaw-Ames, Senior Partner and UK Head of Client Management at Mercer commented, “We want to raise the bar; trustees need more than technical knowledge to be confident in their role, particularly in the current challenging environment. Our Confident Trusteeship courses are designed to build a broad range of skills to support effective decision-making and good scheme governance.”
Courses will be run from the Mercer London office, please visit the Mercer website for further details.
