No matter how easy plan sponsors try to make it for employees to participate in their company-sponsored 401(k) plan, too many workers still aren’t enrolling.
Our guests on today have some ideas on dealing with this problem—centered on how instead of making it easy to participate, making it even harder to avoid enrolling in the plan in the first place.
Marc Howell and Felix Okwaning, who are both Managing Directors—Enhanced Plan Design at Principal Financial Group, share some great ideas on how to use a combination of automatic features including “auto-sweep” to boost enrollment and deferral rates, dramatically helping employees get adequately prepared for retirement.
