Aviva and Royal London were among the providers to receive overall gold awards in Benefits Guru’s 2026 Workplace Pension and Auto Enrolment Ratings.
Mercer was the only provider to receive overall gold awards and gold across every sub-category in both the workplace pension and auto-enrolment ratings.
Legal & General returned to the ratings after a one-year break.
It received an overall gold award for workplace pensions and silver for auto-enrolment.
New categories covered member communications and behavioural nudges, member insights and analysis, and support for members at retirement.
The ratings also looked at providers’ preparations for pension dashboards, targeted support reforms and the value for money framework.
Ian McKenna, founder of Benefits Guru and the Financial Technology Research Centre, said: “Our 2026 ratings show workplace providers continue to raise their game.
“They are innovating in member communications and digital tools to deliver better outcomes for savers.
