NCSL calling on firms to use them in info sessions

By MARK HAIHUE
NASFUND Contributors and Savings and Loans (NCSL) encourages companies to consult them when they run information sessions for their employees so they can maximise benefits from savings decisions.
Employees are still unsure on product options available to them despite contributing for several years, says NCSL marketing and client relations officer Jasper Kinaram.
He told The National that there were about 40 employers that he conducts information sessions with on a monthly basis, usually at the employer’s invitation.
“The presentation that happen during those visits involves explaining our products and services to contributors and any new development that has come up. This is also a way for those who may be interested to be informed and maybe start contributing to NCSL,” Kinaram said.
“Normally, I have my target which is at least for every month I must visit about 40 employers and so far within this month I have covered 25 and I have another 15 to reach my target.
“If an employer is interested in this they can contact and arrange for us to come over and provide information. Our business is service-oriented and this means informing contributors or those who may interested is what we try our best to do.
“The presentations I do take around 20 minutes but it’s only the questions at the end which make it go on longer.
“There are still a lot people who want to know more about how best to manage their savings even for long-time contributors with NCSL.”
