For our first episode of the ‘Employer Insights Ireland’ podcast series, we are taking a macro look at the pension and benefits landscape here in Ireland. We are delighted to welcome John Mercer, CEO of Mercer and Marsh McLennan Ireland to chat with us on this topic.
John will be sharing his expert insights and answering questions on the issues that really matter to employers when it comes to their employee pension and benefits programmes. In this discussion they will draw on some of the points covered in John's recent article in the Irish Independent. Some of the key areas for discussion include:

 The important of auto-enrolment to the future of the Irish pensions system.

1. The rise of master trusts and their impact on pension provision in Ireland.
2. How the growth in flexible retirement will shape employer and employee working and retirement practices.
3. What employers should be doing right now in terms of prudent forward business planning when it comes to their pension and benefit programmes.

Opinions expressed are those of the speakers as of the date of the recording, are subject to change without notice and do not necessarily reflect Mercer’s opinions.
