You’re Making A Positive Contribution – Literally and Figuratively!

According to EBRI’s 2021 Workplace Wellness Survey, 60% percent of employees say their employer-sponsored retirement plan contributes significantly to their feeling financially secure, which is a 5% increase over 2020. Of those with an employer-sponsored retirement plan, 70% report that they understand their benefits extremely or very well. Sixty percent say they are satisfied with their plan. Of those without an employer-sponsored plan, 60% are interested in one. So whatever you’re doing, keep up the great work – it’s very much appreciated by your employees!

Most employees that were surveyed are currently contributing to their plan and receive contributions from their employer. Of those receiving employer contributions, 68% say they are satisfied with the contribution they get. Slightly less than half report that they contribute equal or up to their employer match; another four in 10 contribute more.
