Retirement Trends

Millennials expect they'll need $1.3 million for a comfortable retirement but only 29% will reach that, while older workers say they'll need $1.1 million, though only 21% expect to reach it.

Since more than half of employees said they haven't received financial advice for investing or retirement, resources like employee assistance programs and financial well-being programs have never been more important, says a new survey.

There are five key questions every employee needs to consider on their path to retirement readiness, and employers are the ones who need to deliver the message as part of a much-needed financial wellness program.

The mandatory SECURE 2.0 provisions that must be implemented within the next two years are generally action items for human resource and benefits professionals, benefits committees, and recordkeepers.

This massive growth will be fueled by a tight labor market and SECURE 2.0 government mandates – and 401(k)s among employers with less than 100 employees will have equaled coverage among employers of 100+ employees.

Retirement planning poses a particularly difficult challenge for gig workers even though the tools and intelligence are there in the financial services industry to put such a plan in place, according to a new report.

Plan sponsors can help workers through job changes by preserving assets when possible (not cashing out) and consolidating accounts into the current plan, says a new survey.

There's a disconnect between financial help employees say they need and what they say employers are doing –-despite its importance to employees, just 13% of workers report their employer has introduced such policies.
