September 28, 2020

Only 42% of employees are confident in their current level of retirement preparation.*

This stat came from a survey in February, before the pandemic caused turmoil in the economy. Chances are good that even more employees are now feeling this lack of confidence about making retirement plan decisions.

  • Regular reviews of their progress, which helps them stay on track
  • Automatic contribution increases, so they can set it and forget it
  • Access to guidance from licensed professionals to make them more comfortable about their decisions
