# The three elements of a well built 401(k) plan

## Plan Design

---

Workplace retirement plan design is driven by key variables such as business objectives, benefits philosophy, compensation strategy, competitor offerings, and employee demographics.

When a plan is properly built with your specific needs in mind, the end result is a benefit that can add goodwill to your business.

A thorough review of these and other considerations guides our approach to customizing a plan that best meets your needs, minimizes administrative complexity, supports employee engagement, and, where appropriate, integrates efficiently with your existing plan service and payroll providers.

Other components of the process include analysis and recommendations on:

Plan Type

Participate Eligibility

Compensation Limitations

Employer Contributions

Employee Contributions

Vesting

Distributions

Loans

Improving employee engagement is grounded in responsive, relevant participant education.

We take a unique and proactive approach in offering all plan participants access to our team to address their unique questions and concerns.

As fiduciaries we can provide the expertise and advice一whether your employees are on a minimum wage or highly compensated一to better support their financial goals and understanding. This can lead to improved financial stability and sense of wellbeing within your company, and a more engaged and productive workforce. Our specific services include:

Plan menu disclosure and updates

Supporting financial literacy一including general financial and investment concepts, decision-making, and allocation frameworks

Optional, periodic one-on-one meeting time with all plan participants
