Theme Recommendation Action
Regulatory & Operating Environment Carry out regulatory mapping to help highlight to external stakeholders the complexities in which the LGPS operates.

The mapping will be published in June.

Once the map is completed, we will set out a lobbying plan within the PLSA Executive for longer term plans that will seek to open dialogue with government and regulators about utilising a more joined-up, centralised approach.

LGPS Employers Funds should proactively provide information and assistance to existing and prospective employers to help them understand their responsibilities and risks when joining the LGPS. Employer risk guidance should be accessed and managed, to share best practice within the LGPS. Funds should actively and regularly explain LGPS benefits to employers.

PLSA Employer Guide 2017 update to be published in June 2023.

In the medium term we will explore creating best practice case studies on how to work with employers on entrance and exits, and case studies on employer engagement.

LGPS and Scheme Members Understand what tools from the Money and Pensions Services (MaPS) could be used to support the needs of LGPS scheme members.

We held a webinar with MaPS in Feb 2023 on how to communicate with savers during the cost-of-living crisis.

We’ll be extending this theme at the Local Authority Conference with a session on the Cost-of-Living Conundrum: Communicating with Employers and Savers.

Operational Sustainability Carry out a best-practice case studies project on recruitment and retention.

The PLSA carried out a webinar at the end of 2022 with ‘case study’ funds sharing how they have successfully attracted and retained younger talent.

We’ll aim to produce a best-practice case studies document, based in part on some of the approaches we heard at the webinar.
