[ISME 2025 WEBINAR SERIES] Auto-Enrolment Without the Admin Headache

If you missed last week’s webinar you can watch back here: ISME X KOTA Auto Enrolment Webinar

 

 

 

ISME are delighted to introduce this essential webinar as part of the ISME 2025 Webinar Series, featuring keynote speakers Matthew Brennan, Head of GTM, Kota and Dan McAvinue, Benefits Lead, Kota on the topic Auto-Enrolment Without the Admin Headache

Ireland’s new Auto-Enrolment pension system is being sold as “automatic” – but for employers, it’s anything but.

The official MyFutureFund business process guide runs to 86 pages, which tells you everything you need to know about the real admin burden now landing on HR, finance and payroll teams.

Many ISME members have told us Auto-Enrolment is top of mind, but it’s still unclear what to actually do – or whether the State scheme is even the best option for their business.

To give you clear, practical guidance, ISME has partnered with Kota, an employee benefits platform that has designed a purpose-built solution for Auto-Enrolment. Kota already supports hundreds of Irish employers and over 5,000 employees, helping them move towards more flexible pension schemes. 

Hundreds of ISME members have sought their guidance on Auto-Enrolment, so we’re hosting this session to give everyone a chance to sense-check their plan before it’s too late. 

 

What this webinar will cover

In this session, we’ll:

  • Explain what Auto-Enrolment really means for SMEs in practice
  • Compare the State’s MyFutureFund scheme with private occupational schemes
  • Highlight key differences in admin workload, cost savings, employee contributions and access to funds
  • Show how automation can dramatically reduce ongoing admin and risk
  • Share real examples from Irish SMEs and the decisions they’ve made

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your options and simple next steps to get ready.
