Since auto enrolment began in 2012, Standard Life has helped over 3,500 employers to set up Qualifying Workplace Pension Schemes (QWPS) and recently demonstrated their ongoing commitment to the this market by opening up their Good to Go pension to all small employers yet to stage. Having recognised this commitment to small businesses, AE in a Box now lists Standard Life as one of a panel of three providers on the tool – giving users the opportunity to quickly and efficiently enrol their employees into a high quality pension scheme as part of meeting their auto enrolment duties.
AE in a Box is an online project management tool that guides employees through the auto enrolment process, sending employers alerts on what tasks need to be completed by which date with clear instructions on what they need to do next. If users select Standard Life as their pension provider, the Good to Go solution allows them to set up their QWPS easily in less than six minutes, provided they have the right data to hand.
Alan Ritchie, Head of Employer & Trustee Proposition at Standard Life, said:
“We want to make it as easy as possible for the 1.3 million small employers yet to stage to meet their auto enrolment duties, while giving them access to a high quality auto enrolment proposition that can deliver great outcomes for their employees. We are delighted that our Good to Go solution now forms part of AE in a Box, a new and innovative auto enrolment solution that has the capacity to help thousands of small businesses to navigate the complexities of auto enrolment.”
Chris Daems, Director at Auto Enrolment Advisory Group, said
"Our driver at AE in a Box is to ensure we help and empower as many of the million plus employers yet to comply with auto enrolment with an opportunity to be guided through the tasks they need with simplicity and clarity. We firmly believe AE in a Box will help these employers meet the new rules and it's important we form complimentary partnerships to support employers. We’re delighted to include Standard Life on the AE in a Box pension selection tool providing genuine choice for users when it comes to selecting the most appropriate pension scheme for their business."
