Membership of the British Transport Police Force Superannuation Fund (BTPFSF) is one of the most valuable benefits employees receive as part of their rewards package. And, if they understand their pension and manage it effectively, it can make a huge difference to the quality of their lives once they stop work.

We know you want to help your employees and colleagues get the most from their Fund membership, so at pensionscommstoolkit.railpen.com you’ll find content on a wide range of important pensions topics, all readily available for you to download and share via your own internal channels. This could include email, newsletters, intranets/websites, induction sessions, noticeboards, social media and more.

The toolkits also include handy campaign plans, with ideas on how you can use different content as part of a multi-stage campaign to help your colleagues understand, engage with, and get the most from their pension.

For example, if you are concerned that the number employees with an up-to-date nomination is low, you could use a mixture of the emails, factsheets and videos from the Nominations toolkit to promote the importance of making a nomination, and increase completions.

To do this, select the file type icon or the checkboxes next to the topics and content types that are listed.

View and download content

Your filtered results will be shown further down the screen. You can select ‘Preview’ to see the content, or the download icon in the bottom right, to save any content. With videos, when you preview, you’ll be shown an embed code that you can copy and then paste into the html for your websites or emails.

We’ll be adding content on more pensions topics over time, so there’s a green ‘New’ tag to help you quickly and easily identify any content that might have been added recently. Each item also shows the publish date so you know when the content was originally added to the site.

We recommend you check each piece of content before you share it. You can then share it via any channels you have available within your organisation.
