If you are not sure if your plan is meeting the needs
of your employees, you should ask yourself if your approach
to running your 401(k) plan could withstand the scrutiny
of a Class Action Attorney.
Regarding ERISA, ask yourself:
- Are you working solely in the best interests of
the employees?
- Are you trying to get as many employees as possible
onto the road to a financially secure and comfortable
retirement?
- Are you trying to give the employees the "biggest
bang for their buck" (fees they have paid)?
You can meet these challenges if your employee education
processes includes these GOALS:
- Provide tools that enable as many employees as
possible to get on the road to a financially secure
retirement.
- Make sure employees understand, and periodically
remind them, that achieving retirement security is
their responsibility.
- Maximize the value participants receive for the
fees they pay.
RetireRight Pittsburgh is
focused on successful participant outcomes and
can provide you with a Retirement Readiness Assessment
Report that enables you to objectively judge how successful
you are at getting employees to understand their plan
and embrace retirement planning. The Retirement Readiness
Assessment allows you to answer the following questions
in a quantitative manner:
- Which aspects of plan design have fulfilled our
expectations and which haven't?
- How much value are our participants getting for
the fees they pay?
- How many of our employees are "not on track"
for a comfortable retirement, and what do the terms
"on track" and "comfortable retirement"
mean?
Utilizing the Retirement Readiness Assessment as a
guide, RetireRight Pittsburgh will recommend any improvements
in education and plan design that can improve your plan's
success and can provide custom communications that targets
participants and eligible non-participants to take specific
actions, such as:
- joining the plan;
- increasing contributions;
- using a target date fund; or
- signing up for advisory services.
