Driving better financial outcomes for your employees and organization
A key component of achieving financial wellness in the workplace is making sure your employees are financially prepared to retire. Whether someone is 25 or 55, it is vital to seriously consider a proper saving plan to allow for a comfortable and financially secure life after retirement.
Employers have started to focus on a broader view of their employees’ financial wellness, so they can better understand the barriers employees are facing in saving for retirement. If employees can’t tackle their short-term goals (i.e., pay down debt, establish emergency savings, afford healthcare), they won’t be able to start thinking about retirement.
Providing employees with access to employee education pertaining to retirement is an important fiduciary obligation. A well-designed, customized communication plan is one of the most vital aspects of a successful retirement plan. It can raise awareness and, most importantly, help employees understand, utilize and appreciate their benefits.
