Promoting the statements

We recommend you add your logo to all TRS and ABS communications.

Our research tells us that employees will read a communication with their employer’s logo.

We also recommend you include details about TRS and ABS in local communication tools, for example in an employee magazine. This will build awareness that the project is supported at a local level. 

We strongly recommend that you nominate a TRS or ABS champion to support employees when the statements are available.

This might be someone from your HR Reward Team who has a clear understanding of your employee engagement strategy.

The champion should understand:

• what the project is
• what information is available for employees
• how employees can access their statements

They might also hold workshops to show employees how to access their statement.

When writing your local benefits page:

• give an overview of each benefit
• highlight the advantage to employees of selecting each benefit you offer
• communicate the associated cost savings - for example if the benefit is through salary sacrifice reference the tax and National Insurance savings
• tell employees where they can get more information about each benefit
• provide contact details of the benefit providers
