Pension organizations around the world must respond to unique social and economic trends and behaviors. Despite these differences, pension organizations share a common thread—the need to respond to the global pension crisis.
An aging population, longer life expectancies and changing employee demographics is wreaking havoc on these organizations’ ability to meet pension obligations. This shortfall is complicated by the economic realities of the post-recession global economy. It is clear that the delicate balance between contributions and payment distributions has reached critical mass. Even the underlying philosophies of many pension arrangements are being questioned.
In light of this environment, pension reform is a key issue for pension organizations, private and public sector employers and employees themselves. Moving past these challenges will require new strategies and new ways of working and efforts to modernize existing systems and improve efficiencies and flexibility. Pension organizations must address tough questions:
- Transformation. How can pension organizations accelerate rapid change to meet the demands of pension reform?
- Technology. What steps do organizations need to take to understand the limitations of legacy infrastructure and create a realistic blueprint for technology transformation?
- Service. What tangible solutions can organizations implement to optimize processes and increase client contact effectiveness and service delivery without driving up costs?
