This Sunday is National Pension Tracing Day, an annual event encouraging people to search for forgotten pensions from previous jobs, with the aim of uniting people with lost retirement savings.

Finding a forgotten pension can significantly improve retirement finances, especially during times of economic uncertainty. There’s an estimated £31.1 billion in unclaimed pensions (up 75% since 2018), with potentially millions of lost pots, accumulated over years of changing jobs.

National Pension Tracing Day also serves as a timely reminder of the need to be cautious of scams when it comes to looking for lost pensions.

As many as 1 in 20 people could have lost a pension, worth an average of £9,500 each. There are a number of resources out there to help both you and your people, thanks to the National Pension Tracing Day website and the government’s free Pension Tracing Service.

So why not take this opportunity to encourage your employees to track down mislaid or overlooked savings pots, and help them take control of their retirement savings and plan for a more financially secure future?

🌿 Support your people through menopause this World Menopause Day 🌿

Saturday 18th October is . This year’s theme, “lifestyle medicine in menopausal health”, highlights how simple habits, like healthy eating, sleep, exercise, and emotional wellbeing, can make a big difference during menopause.

Menopause support is no longer seen as a nice to have in the workplace; it’s essential for inclusion, wellbeing, and talent retention. Helping employees through midlife transitions boosts morale, reduces stigma, and helps retain invaluable experience.

Even small actions count:

✅ Host awareness sessions or workshops
✅ Train managers to have supportive conversations
✅ Offer flexible working and wellbeing resources
✅ Integrate menopause into your health and wellbeing strategy

Take this opportunity to listen, learn, and lead with empathy – because a truly inclusive culture supports people through every stage of life.

We’ve written a blog outlining some practical tips and recommendations for companies looking to introduce menopause support on a budget. The link to the blog is in the first comment.

🌍 World Mental Health Day 2025 🌍

Today is a reminder that mental health matters. For every individual, every team, and every organisation.

We’re proud to work alongside charities, social enterprises, and care providers who put people at the heart of what they do. Supporting those who support others means fostering workplaces where wellbeing, empathy, and balance are built into the culture, not added on.

Let’s continue building mentally healthy organisations across the third sector.

It’s National Work Life Week (running this year from 6th to 10th October), Working Families’ annual campaign to get both employers and employees talking about wellbeing at work and work-life balance.

This year’s theme is , a topic that really speaks to the heart of what we believe in. There are millions of carers across the UK for whom flexible working isn’t just a nice to have, it’s essential. This week is an opportunity for employers to review their approach to flexible working, with a view to making flexibility the default.

The non-profit and charity sector is unique; your people give so much, juggling high workloads with care or family duties. To help counteract this, we can help you embed inclusive flexibility, wellbeing and sustainable work practices in your organisation.

As a starting point, here are some things you can do to make the most of this week, and beyond:

⏭️ Spotlight inclusive flexibility
Showcase how your organisation supports flexible working, not just as a perk, but as a default for those with caring responsibilities (parents, kinship carers, those supporting older or disabled relatives, etc.).

⏭️ Run meaningful staff sessions
Host a webinar, “lunch & learn” session, or team meeting conversation around balancing commitments, mental health, boundary-setting or remote/hybrid work norms.

⏭️ Review and refresh policy
Take advantage of free resources like toolkits from Working Families to audit your flexible working, parental leave, and carer support policies.

⏭️ Collect and share stories
Invite staff to share how flexibility has helped them. Real voices build trust and encourage a safer culture for balancing life and work.

⏭️ Set a “pilot + review” mindset
Try new flexible arrangements with small teams or departments, measure impact (productivity, staff satisfaction, retention), then scale what works.

In organisations driven by mission, your people are your greatest asset. When staff feel supported, they stay longer, go the extra mile, and bring more energy to your cause. Flexibility isn’t just a perk; it’s critical for resilience, inclusion, and equity.

Next week is Pension Awareness Week, the perfect time for companies to help employees think about their financial future.

For many people, their workplace pension is the biggest investment they’ll ever make, yet it’s often misunderstood or overlooked. As an employer, you don’t need big budgets to make a difference; small steps like sharing resources, celebrating contributions, or running a short Q&A session can have a lasting impact.

By getting involved, you’ll not only support employee wellbeing but also strengthen engagement, loyalty, and retention in your business.

Discover simple, practical ways your organisation can raise the profile of pensions this week in our latest blog: https://millstedconsultancy.co.uk/pension-awareness-week-2025/
