Improving Retirement Readiness with Auto Enrollment and Auto Escalation

Automatic plan design features such as Auto Enrollment and Auto Escalation have become increasingly more popular in defined contribution plans in recent years.  Studies have shown that these features significantly improve participation rates and deferral percentages, and ultimately, a participant’s retirement readiness.  Our speakers will help you understand these design features and why they may make sense for your company’s or client’s retirement plan.  You’ll receive answers to the following questions:

1. Why should plan sponsors consider these plan design features?
2. Why some plan sponsors are apprehensive regarding Auto Enrollment / Auto Escalation?
3. What do you need to know to fully support the implementation of these features?
4. How do you properly communicate and educate participants when adding these features?

We’ll also discuss case studies that will provide actual data that illustrates the positive impact of adopting these features, as well as participant responses.
