Not your grandpa’s pension plan!

By Katharine Schwab
Members at OMERS and OMERSDigital were thrilled to hear that the pension giant is bringing a renewed focus to human centric pension planning. Announcing a slate of initiatives including, “Humans of OMERS.” OMERS promises to prove to members that the pension promise goes beyond a secure financial future. An OMERS Director says, “Our members work hard, and their money should work even harder for them.”
“Our members work hard, and their money should work even harder for them.”

These sweeping changes will transform OMERS member engagement, from myOMERS providing a comprehensive overview of current and lifetime pension values, to a range of discounts members can use on their daily shopping. The keywords are accessible, digital and personal. These changes will go into effect within the next three months, and they promise to transform how members experience the value of their pension plan.
This has members excited, with one claiming, “OMERS is taking all the planning out of planning for retirement,” and Jenna from Woodbridge saying, “I hadn’t realized these top-notch investors were doing all this work for me. If I contribute a little extra maybe I can retire even earlier than I thought!”
