FOR BENEFIT BROKERS

Human Interest’s 401(k) Solution For Benefits Brokers

Great companies are built on engaged employees

Time and time again, research shows that happy, engaged, financially secure employees are better for business. And, their benefits package -- including a 401(k) or other retirement savings plan -- plays a key part:

Happy, engaged employees are up to 20% more productive than unhappy, stressed out employees¹

2 in 3 employees say their benefits package helps reduce their financial stress²

A recent study shows 94% of employers indicate offering a 401(k) plan helps drive recruitment and retention³
