Survey: Retirement Plan Sponsors’ Challenge is Prioritizing Education
OneAmerica surveyed 1,019 sponsors1 over a three-month period, and when it came to top concerns, our poll revealed that fiduciary responsibilities (57 percent) and administrative tasks (45 percent) were high on the list. But when it came to plan priorities, 69 percent of sponsors cited "providing participation education" as the No. 1 priority, followed by improving participation rates at 67 percent.
These findings reinforce our strategy of providing easy-to-administer retirement and financial wellness education, because we understand that sponsors are oftentimes under-resourced.
"Our survey affirmed the issues that sponsors say keep them up at night, and as their advocate, we want sponsors to achieve their retirement plan priorities," said
Through our One Day is Today® program, OneAmerica offers a comprehensive curriculum that provides sponsors with seamless participant education and communication assistance.
Our participant education tools are designed to resonate with employees who have diverse learning styles, and speak to participants at various stages of retirement planning and levels of financial and investment knowledge.
The program is reviewed and refreshed regularly to ensure content is current and meets ever-changing participant needs. On sponsors' behalf, we provide ready-to-use communications regardless of which channels sponsors use to reach participants.
"At OneAmerica, we proactively confront the real-world issues that impact how much time sponsors have to focus on employees' financial wellness and retirement readiness," said
