When you offer retirement and healthcare plans to your employees, you’re giving them much more than just a supplement to their paycheck. You’re helping them build foundational security to protect themselves and their families. Great benefits packages often encourage loyalty from your team so they work for you for years to come—which is good for both you and them.
But plan sponsors have a lot to manage and are actually taking on risk by offering these benefits. Fulfilling your obligations as a plan sponsor is complex because there are rules and regulations you must follow, even though you’re not an expert in this area. And because these plans are designed to offer security, individuals and families may come after you if they find their security needs have not been met.
