As the situation regarding Covid-19 continues to develop, UK pension schemes, their sponsors and members will need to continue to deal with the impacts.
 
Professional Pensions presents our second Deskflix episode in partnership with
Mercer on the 1st and 2nd July. This three part episode will look at how you can respond, return and reinvent.
 
Covid-19: Dealing with the impacts
; will examine how the pandemic has amplified some of the challenges DB and DC pension schemes have to overcome, and how you’ll now need to rise to a new set of challenges that, whilst created by Covid-19, are probably here to stay.

 We’ll reflect on what schemes have already done – for example a shift to virtual meetings, what they’re doing right now – like having to look at increased cyber risks and business resilience, and consider what the future might look like and how long it might take to get there.

This three part live event provides you with the chance to interact with our expert speakers, your peers, and visit the Mercer booths during the breaks to ask those all important questions, all from the comfort of your own desk (and let’s face it, the coffee is better there).

 Don’t panic if you get called away by surprise, we’ll have all of the content available on demand so you can consume it anywhere, anytime. Deskflix: login, begin, take it in.
