I am presently completing the final stage of my MSc in Human Resource Management - the Dissertation! I have decided to do my dissertation on the topic of Pensions and, in particular, I am focusing on the Final Salary (Defined Benefit) Pension Scheme.
I know that you are all busy but I would be very grateful if you could assist me in this research by completing a simple questionnaire which is attached. The information you give will kept completely confidential and will be deleted as soon as I have completed this dissertation.
If possible I would like the completed questionniare back by 4th April 2005.
I thank you in advance for your help in this matter, it is greatly appreciated.
Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
