\u201cAlthough many people are enrolled in a workplace pension scheme, some lose track of old pots and don\u2019t pay into them regularly. If you do one thing today, take some time to track down any pensions you may have paid into in previous jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Helen Mitchell, spokeswoman for the Pension Attention campaign said: \u201cWhile most working people in the UK have at least one pension, many don\u2019t know much about them, and some have even lost track of them completely.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re asking all UK adults to check where their pensions are, what they have saved, and how much they might need for retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n
People can track down old pensions by digging out paperwork, contacting previous employers or using the Pension Tracing Service.<\/p>\n
Pensions minister Torsten Bell said: \u201cMost people check their fitness apps more than their pension balance, but both are important for a healthy future.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re ramping up the pace of our pension reforms to make saving easier and ensure you get the most from every pound you\u2019ve saved. In the meantime, I encourage everyone to take a few minutes out of their day to check their pension and plan for their retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pension Attention commissioned OnePoll to question 2,000 people across the UK in August.<\/p>\n
The campaign is backed by Aviva, Fidelity, Legal & General, NatWest Cushon, Nest, Pru, People\u2019s Pension, Royal London, Scottish Widows, Standard Life, and Vanguard.<\/p>\n
David Meliveo, chief commercial officer of People\u2019s Partnership, provider of the People\u2019s Pension, said: \u201cWith over 11 million people now saving into workplace pensions through automatic-enrolment, it\u2019s more important than ever that savers engage to strengthen their pensions \u2013 understanding what they\u2019ve got, where it is and how it can shape their future retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n

A number of pension providers are backing the campaign (PA Wire)<\/p>\n
Simon Ellis, director of workplace pensions at Aviva, said: \u201cPension freedoms gave people more choice \u2013 but with choice comes responsibility. Less than half of mid-retirees feel confident their private pension will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just about how much you save but how well you understand and manage it. Paying your pension some attention now \u2013 knowing what you\u2019ve got, how it\u2019s working for you, and whether you\u2019re on track \u2013 can make all the difference later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert Cochran, a retirement expert at Scottish Widows, said: \u201cTaking steps to check in on your pension app can have a much greater impact on your long-term finances, just as small daily habits improve our wellbeing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had almost a million views of our pension mirror which uses gamification to encourage people to connect with their pensions. The stratospheric increase in pension app downloads shows that it\u2019s possible to bring fun and tech to help people get a better retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those behind the campaign have three tips for getting on top of pension savings:<\/p>\n
