A recent survey by Which? found that less than a third of working adults in the UK consider employer pension contributions as a top priority when evaluating a new job offer. Only 31% of respondents ranked these contributions among their top three workplace benefits, placing them behind more commonly valued perks like paid sick leave (53%) and flexible working hours and holiday allowances (both at 45%). However, over half of the workers (55%) still said they would take some notice of employer pension contributions when considering a new role. The survey also revealed a notable generational divide. Nearly half (49%) of people aged 55 to 64 considered employer pension contributions as a top-three benefit, whereas only 11% of Gen Z workers (aged 18 to 24) felt the same. Additionally, almost half (46%) of employees currently enrolled in a defined contribution (DC) workplace pension were unsure how much their employer was contributing to their retirement fund. Sam Richardson, Which? Money editor, described workplace pensions as a "massively neglected employee benefit," noting that nearly half of the workers surveyed were unaware of how much their employer was adding to their pension pot. He emphasized that even small contributions from employers can accumulate significantly over time and are often overlooked. Richardson advised job seekers to check the details of a workplace pension scheme and whether the employer offers matching contributions, which can boost savings. Under current UK law, all qualifying employees are automatically enrolled in a workplace pension, requiring a minimum total contribution of 8% of their earnings, with at least 3% coming from the employer. These contributions are eligible for tax relief. Experts often recommend saving more than the legal minimum, as relying solely on these baseline contributions could lead to a shortfall in retirement income. Some workers also plan to use other assets, such as property, savings, or inheritances, to supplement their pensions in retirement. To help individuals assess their retirement savings, several resources are available. Pensions UK regularly updates its retirement living standards to guide people on how much money they might need for different retirement lifestyles. Pension providers also offer digital tools and calculators to estimate potential retirement savings, and the government-backed Pension Wise service provides guidance for those nearing retirement. When asked why they didn't prioritize employer pensions, many respondents said they felt retirement was a long way off. Which? highlighted that taking advantage of additional employer contributions and allowing pension funds to grow over time can greatly increase retirement wealth. The survey was conducted by Deltapoll and included responses from over 1,200 UK adults in August.
