Pension regulations are constantly changing and companies and their employees must always stay up to date. Issues such as increasing the retirement age, adjusting pension calculations and ensuring pension provision are just some of the aspects that are the subject of intense debate. In addition, flexible transitions into retirement and private pension options are also playing an increasingly important role.

Companies and their employees should pay particular attention to this:

  1. Statutory pension reforms: Changes to pension law, such as raising the retirement age or adjusting the pension formula, can have a significant impact on pension planning.
  2. Company pension schemes: Company pension schemes offer a valuable supplement to the statutory pension.
  3. Private pension options: In addition to statutory and company pension schemes, private pension models also play an important role.
  4. Flexible transition to retirement: Many employees want a flexible transition to retirement, for example through part-time work or partial retirement models.
  5. Tax aspects: The taxation of pensions and pension products is a complex issue that requires careful planning.
  6. Health care in old age: Comprehensive pension advice should also take into account health care (health insurance) in old age.
  7. International pension entitlements: International pension entitlements may be relevant for employees who have worked abroad.

Advantages of transparent pension advice

Employee recruitment

Clear and transparent pension advice signals to potential new employees that the company is actively looking after the long-term financial security of its workforce.

Employee retention

A transparent pension scheme and clear information on the transition to retirement promote employee motivation and strengthen the trust between them and their employer.

Flexible design options

Through individually tailored pension advice, companies can create more flexible transitions for older employees, for example through gradually reduced working hours or individual working time agreements, and thus achieve a balanced age structure.

Long-term personnel planning

The company can plan its personnel requirements efficiently and at an early stage.
