Mid-year 401(k) plan administration and communication check-ins aren’t just about improving the employee experience. This can also be a valuable time to revisit internal workflows to ensure management feels supported in communicating with their direct reports about 401(k) participation, features, and more.
Here are a few key ways internal processes can be revisited during a mid-year check-in:
🔷 Give guidance to leadership on 401(k) communication - Provide managers with simple talking points so they can reinforce benefit awareness during team check-ins or routine communications.
🔷 Revisit onboarding touchpoints - Take stock of how regularly new-hires are nudged about 401(k) plan participation and work together with management to create new opportunities to engage teammates.
🔷 Set clear internal engagement goals - Establish measurable objectives such as participation growth, contribution increases, or engagement benchmarks to track progress before year-end.
We hope you find these tips helpful. As always, if you have any questions about your 401(k) plan, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to be a resource for you.
