<p>Automatic enrolment has been a great success to date. Since the roll out of automatic
enrolment, nearly 6 million people have been automatically enrolled into a workplace
pension. Only 10% of individuals that have been automatically enrolled so far have
chosen to opt out. This is one of the key indicators of the policy’s success in increasing
participation in pension saving.</p><p> </p><p>Individuals who have opted out of automatic
enrolment and have subsequently changed their mind can discuss with their employer
how to opt back in. Furthermore, employers are required by law to automatically re-enrol
eligible workers every three years. This prompts individuals to periodically reconsider
their saving arrangements. Employers also have duties to provide certain information
to their workers within prescribed time limits.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the national
communications campaign<em>, Don’t Ignore the Workplace Pension,</em> raises awareness
of pension saving among both employees and employers, and promotes the idea that saving
in a workplace pension is normal. The campaign directs individuals to the campaign
website, The Pension Regulator’s website, and the relevant gov.uk website.</p>
