Group Pension Plans are retirement savings programs offered by employers to help employees save for retirement. Contributions are typically made by both the employer and employee, and the funds are invested to grow over time, providing a structured and disciplined approach to long-term financial security. These plans can include defined benefit (DB), defined contribution (DC), or hybrid models, depending on the organization.
