How Are Employees Feeling About Their Pensions Today?

With Trump's trade tariffs and market turbulence grabbing headlines, you have to wonder—how many employees quietly logged into their pension accounts? And how many are now slightly panicking!

A sudden market drop has a way of making people reassess more than just their investments. Job stability, long-term security, and financial confidence can all feel a little shakier.

As internal communicators, we may not have control over the stock market—but we do have influence over how people feel in uncertain moments.

Here are four practical ways we can support our colleagues today:

1. Collaborate with HR to explain if and how pensions are affected

2. Reshare financial wellbeing resources like tools, helplines, or webinars

3. Encourage leadership to offer a brief, steadying message

4. Create space for honest questions, even if there aren’t easy answers

This isn’t about pretending we have all the solutions. It’s about showing up with clarity, empathy, and presence.
