401(k) Solutions

A Quality Retirement Plan Is No Longer Nice To Have

Offering a 401(k) is becoming a necessity for employers to stay competitive, attract top talent and support employees more holistically. Thanks to state mandates and recent legislation – now is the time for organizations of any size to put these types of plans in place. If you offer a plan, now is the time to enhance your benefits because the industry has evolved significantly in the last few years. Explore your options with SHRM 401(k) Solutions by Raymond James.

The Time You Spend Building Your Employer Sponsored Savings Plan Is Time Well Spent

Did you know that American workers are 12x more likely to save for their financial future if offered a plan through their employer? And thanks to tax credits from recent legislation and certain state mandates, now is a great time to add this impactful benefit.

A 401(k) is an incredibly powerful and effective investment tool to save for the future. Yet for many small to mid-size organizations, costs and resources associated with other employee benefits have made offering a retirement plan challenging. And while a 401(k) plan offers employees the potential for financial security, for employers it also led to financial constraints, administrative headaches, and the personal liability of being a retirement plan sponsor.

There is a better way. SHRM 401(k) Solutions by Raymond James makes it possible for companies of any size to provide a high-quality, competitively priced retirement plan benefit that helps employees make meaningful progress toward their financial and savings goals.

The first step is to build a team that works together to pull your organization in the right direction. In their role as plan advisor, Raymond James can enhance the current offering of your existing provider or help you find one that is a better fit for your employees.
