Group retirement savings for your small business clients

Implementing a group retirement savings program as part of a total compensation strategy can help to reduce employee turnover. Now more than ever, top employers are being intentional about helping their employees plan for retirement to recruit and retain top talent.

No matter what the size of the group is, some plan sponsors may think offering a group retirement savings program can be challenging due to time constraints, lack of knowledge, and other financial commitments.

It’s important that small business owners recognize that the same rules apply to them:

  • 70% of employees would like their employer to support financial well-being[1]
  • 84% of employees would be interested in financial education programs offered through their workplace[1]
  • 69% of individuals would choose a new job with a group savings plan instead of staying at their current job without one[2]

The benefits you already know:

Retirement savings programs are a cost-effective way for small business owners to support the financial well-being of their staff, and can lead to an increase in overall productivity. Outcomes include higher productivity, lower absenteeism, improved morale, and enhanced acceptance of benefits and retirement savings programs.[1]

 

If your client chooses to implement a group retirement savings program, it’s important that they promote financial literacy and financial well-being within their organization.
