Employer Engagement Matters
Employers who promote and show an interest in their employee’s financial wellness typically show greater employee productivity and engagement.
Financial stress hurts productivity. As you can imagine, those who are struggling to manage day-to-day financial obligations might be the same folks who have inadequately prepared for retirement. Therefore, they continue to work longer than their mind and/or body are able because they can’t survive on their pension alone.
What do you tell your employees about retirement savings with Ohio DC? In our experience, employers who actively promote retirement savings and make it part of their orientation, wellness fairs, benefits literature, etc. have a much greater participation rate than those who simply post it to their HR website and let employees discover it on their own.
