What’s NewSpeech: Retirement Adequacy Matters Article: The Massive Failure of 401k Education Success-Based Demonstration Program Employees are responsible for funding, investing and distributing a lifetime income from their 401k accounts. It’s cruel the majority of them don’t know how to do these things. That’s largely why 90% of plan sponsors say most of their employees will not be financially prepared for retirement. Before my 30-year career as a retirement and communication consultant, I spent six years in educational research and instructional design. I know basic education principles – but I’m not an expert. Yet it doesn’t take an expert to see that 401k ed is broken. To show how 401k ed could be improved, I created a ‘demonstration program’ - Retirement Adequacy Incite. 401k plan sponsors and HR leaders can learn about the program HERE. If you would like to test the program, please contact me. Dennis Ackley |
