NEST website
A website which helps businesses find advisers has joined forces with NEST, the not-for-profit automatic enrolment scheme set up by government.
Unbiased.co.uk has teamed up with NEST to hold a roundtable discussion on Thursday 16 January to explore different business approaches to automatic enrolment being taken by advisers.
Chaired by the Chartered Insurance Institute, advisers already offering automatic enrolment solutions will discuss their experiences and approaches.
At the end of last year NEST relaunched its adviser site to provide financial advisers with tools and resources for automatic enrolment.
The NEST site includes a delegated access option, allowing advisers to help set up and manage automatic enrolment duties on an ongoing basis for their clients, with the employer setting the level of access the adviser has.

John Taylor, NEST managing director, customer and proposition, said: "Automatic enrolment is providing huge opportunities for advisers.
"We know that as more and more employers reach their staging dates many will seek advice and support in setting up schemes.
"Our research shows there is also appetite out there for employers to be running their schemes in conjunction with an adviser on an ongoing basis. Employers may decide they want an adviser to manage their duties so they can concentrate on what they do best – running their business."
Karen Barrett, chief executive of unbiased.co.uk, said: "Automatic enrolment will provide plenty of opportunity to advise clients both pre and post staging date and to get back in touch with existing business clients to talk about their pension-scheme needs."
