In a press release out on November 04, Hewitt Survey Shows Automation, Low-Cost Investment Options, and Investment Advice Becoming Standard Features in 401(k) Plans

More Employers Taking Aggressive Steps to Help Workers Save Enough for Retirement

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Nov 04, 2009 A new survey by Hewitt Associates, a global human resources consulting and outsourcing services company, shows employers continue to design their 401(k) plans in a way that encourages positive saving and investing behaviors and helps employees meet their increasing retirement income needs. These efforts include significant increases in the adoption of automated features and target date funds, better investment education tools and an increased focus on lowering plan expenses. According to Hewitt, an increasing number of companies measure the success of their 401(k) plans by gauging the quality--not quantity--of participation. Employee participation rates--once the most dominant success measure--have become less important over the past decade, while employee retirement income adequacy and fund performance have emerged as more critical components of success. This shift in priorities has prompted many employers to adopt tools and features that enable employees to save more, without added effort.
