WEBINAR - CPBI Pacific: Barry LaValley - What Every Plan Sponsor and Member Should Understand About Retirement

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: May 7, 2020 at 8AM

What Every Plan Sponsor and Member Should Understand About Retirement 

In this Session...

Barry LaValley will help attendees understand the key issues that Plan Members face as they look at their retirement; he will also focus on critical ways that Sponsors can help ease that transition and take the stress out of the retirement decision.

His work with scores of "pretirees" and retirees globally suggests that many workers are ill-prepared to consider their retirement options, both from a financial and a lifestyle perspective. This uncertainty often affects their relationship with their workplace and impacts on productivity and overall life satisfaction. Barry will address these issues in his session and offer some concrete advice on how employers can provide education that goes beyond financial information. Not only will this help Plan Members but impact employee decisions around Plan enrollment.
