Think pensions are too expensive, too complicated, or not valued by employees? Think again. Join us for an engaging webinar where we separate fact from fiction about workplace pensions and spotlight how the CSS Pension Plan offers a smart, co-op-friendly solution.

We’ll tackle three common myths:

Myth 1: “Pensions are expensive and complicated.”

Truth: Many pension plans are – but not CSS. The CSS Pension Plan is cost-effective, easy to administer, and offers flexible design options tailored to your organization. It’s built to serve co-operatives with simplicity and efficiency in mind.

Myth 2: “Employees don’t care about pensions.”

Truth: Employees value financial security. With flexible contribution, investment and retirement options, CSS helps employees shape their financial future – and helps employers boost recruitment, retention, and morale.

Myth 3: “It’s not fair to offer staff a pension when many members may not have one.”

Truth: Many members do have pensions – just not employment-based ones. Offering staff a pension supports income stability and reflects your co-op’s commitment to long-term sustainability.

Whether you’re an employer, board member, or simply curious about how pensions really work, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to see pensions in a whole new light – one that fits the values and realities of co-operative organizations.

Register today and bust myths around pensions.
