Can Your Company's 401k Be Improved?
Is it a cost or a strategic asset?
If your employees don't understand how to use the retirement plan you're paying to provide to them, they probably don't appreciate it either.
Symptoms of problems include low participation and contribution rates--and many employees being undersaved for retirement.
3 Reasons to have a 401k
Recruit Talent - Retain Talent - Reward Talent
If you're working your 401k properly, these are the benefits you should see. That would make your plan a strategic asset rather than an ineffective cost item.
You Can Do More With Your 401k
At a minimum, your plan should be managed properly because you have a fiduciary responsibility to do so.
But your plan can be an opportunity to do more to get more--perhaps without additional cost.
You can add a financial wellness program to your plan, creating more informed employees so they use and appreciate their plan more, set up their personal financial lives with more care, and appreciate the matching contribution you're making every paycheck toward their retirement well-being.
