Why should employers offer retirement and risk benefits?

Employee benefits help attract and retain skilled staff, improve employee morale, support financial wellness, and demonstrate a long-term commitment to employees and their families.

What retirement fund options are available for employers?

Employers commonly choose between pension funds and provident funds. We help assess workforce needs, contribution structures, and administrative considerations to determine the most suitable option.

What are group life and disability benefits?

These are employer-sponsored insurance benefits that provide financial support to employees or their beneficiaries if an employee dies, becomes disabled, or is unable to work due to a qualifying event.

Can small businesses afford employee benefit schemes?

Yes. Benefit structures can be scaled to suit the size and budget of the business, and even smaller employers can provide meaningful retirement and risk protection for employees.

What is a Section 14 transfer?

A Section 14 transfer is the regulated transfer of members and assets from one retirement fund to another. We assist with the planning, compliance, and implementation of the transfer process.

What responsibilities do retirement fund trustees have?

Trustees have fiduciary duties that include acting in members’ best interests, overseeing governance, monitoring investments, ensuring compliance, and making informed decisions regarding the fund.

How can employers improve employee understanding of benefits?

Clear communication, education sessions, benefit statements, onboarding support, and access to financial guidance can help employees appreciate and use their benefits more effectively.

Should employee benefits be reviewed regularly?

Yes. Annual reviews help ensure benefits remain competitive, affordable, compliant with regulations, and aligned with changes in workforce demographics and business objectives.

Can DWD Financial Planners assist with medical aid scheme selection?

Absolutely. We help employers evaluate corporate medical aid options, compare structures and costs, and support the ongoing administration of selected schemes.
