Helping employers build workplace pensions that support their people, strengthen retention and deliver long-term value.
Independent pension advice

Ongoing scheme support
Stay compliant and get more from your pension with ongoing reviews, benchmarking and advice.
If a workplace pension is done well, it is one of the most powerful tools you have to attract talented candidates.
Retain your best employees and demonstrate that your organisation genuinely values the people who work for it.
Done poorly, it can become a compliance issue that costs you money along with a missed opportunity to drive employee loyalty.
At Omny Benefits, our independent workplace pension consultants help employers across the UK design, set up and manage pension schemes that do far more than satisfy the legal minimum. We work with you to build a retirement provision that supports your people’s long-term financial wellbeing and strengthens your position as an employer of choice.
We help you understand your pensions
Most people receive their workplace pension details and have no idea what to do next. The provider’s website is rarely the answer, and most employees are too busy, too unsure, or too overwhelmed to ask. We can help make this easier on employers and employees.
One-to-one financial guidance for your employees
Understanding a pension is not straightforward for most employees. This can be even more prominent with younger workers who are further from retirement and find it harder to see the value. Our employee engagement programme includes one-to-one financial guidance and advice sessions with our team, helping employees understand their pension, consolidate old pension pots, make informed investment choices and plan effectively for the future.
Ongoing support as your business grows
Setting up a pension scheme is the beginning of your employer obligations, not the end. We stay with you through re-enrolment, scheme reviews, provider benchmarking and regulatory updates. As your workforce grows and changes, we can evolve your pension provision to keep pace.

What our clients say
Frequently asked questions
How much will a workplace pension scheme cost my business?
Setting up a good workplace pension can be very cost-effective. At Omny Benefits, we’ll help you find a scheme that aligns with your budget while maximising value. Employers must contribute a minimum percentage of employees’ qualifying earnings, which will be the main cost. We guide you through every step to ensure your investment delivers real benefits for your business.
How much time will managing a pension scheme take?
Managing pensions doesn’t have to disrupt your business operations. Omny Benefits focuses on making administration simple, with our team handling setup, compliance, and ongoing management. It’s more likely we will actually save your business time by minimising the number of issues and queries to resolve – allowing you to focus on growing your business while we manage the details in the background.
How do I choose the right pension scheme for my employees?
Selecting the right pension scheme can feel overwhelming, however, at Omny Benefits we simplify the process. We’ll assess your business, workforce demographics, and long-term goals to recommend a tailored solution. Our expertise ensures your scheme meets the financial needs of your team while aligning with your business objectives.
Will my employees appreciate a workplace pension?
Absolutely! A workplace pension is consistently ranked as one of the most valued employee benefits. It shows you’re invested in their financial future, which can boost morale, attract top talent, and reduce turnover. With our employee engagement programme, we offer one-to-one financial guidance and advice to help employees understand their pensions and make informed decisions.
What if I already have a workplace pension scheme?
No problem. At Omny Benefits, we offer a ‘no cost and no obligation’ consultation to review your existing scheme. We’ll evaluate its performance, fees, and alignment with your goals, then suggest improvements to optimise value for your business and employees.
Pension schemes can become outdated, poor value or misaligned with your workforce as your business changes. Common reasons to review include: an older scheme where charges are higher than comparable market alternatives; a default investment fund that is no longer appropriate or has underperformed relative to similar options; an administration platform that is difficult for HR to manage or employees to access; growth or restructuring in the business that has changed workforce demographics; or simply the fact that the scheme was set up some years ago without advice and has never been formally assessed.
Do I have to provide a workplace pension even if I only have one employee?
Yes. Every UK employer, regardless of size, must automatically enrol eligible employees into a qualifying workplace pension scheme. The obligation begins on the first day you employ someone who meets the eligibility criteria. Failing to set up a scheme, or failing to enrol eligible employees, can result in fixed penalty notices and escalating daily fines from The Pensions Regulator.
How do you select a pension provider?
Because we are independent and not tied to any single provider, our selection process covers the full market. We assess providers across a range of criteria relevant to your specific business, including the annual management charge and other member fees, the quality and range of investment options including default fund design, the platform’s ease of use for both employer administrators and employees, the level of support and member communications provided by the provider, payroll integration compatibility and the provider’s regulatory standing and financial stability.
