401(k) plans have been a powerful tool for employees to efficiently prepare and save for their retirement. However, in many cases, employees fail to recognize the benefits of these tax-advantaged plans. Progressive plan sponsors are addressing this issue directly by implementing innovative plan designs based on recent research in the field of behavioral finance. The result of these changes is an employee group that is more educated and engaged and which is more productive in the workplace and likely to remain with their employer longer.
