Encouraging, but much more work to be done.

Digital DC disruptor Vestwell is out with the results of its latest study, which found 76.7% of those with a company-sponsored plan are saving 4% or more of their salary each month (excluding any additional savings from a company match).

“Not only are those with access to a plan saving, but they also feel confident about decisions regarding their plan,” the company notes. “In fact, 62.5% say they’re comfortable with their knowledge around their retirement plan, which means people are either educating themselves or receiving proper education from the plan administrator or sponsor.”

It means employees are taking advantage of retirement plans when given the opportunity.

The February study, titled The Retirement Advantage: A look into how company-sponsored retirement plans positively impact consumer behavior, surveyed 672 employees who were eligible to participate in their company-sponsored 401k or 403b plans, 499 of whom completed it in its entirety.
