"If you are like most 401k plan sponsors, you worry about whether your retirement plan committee is discussing the right things at your committee meetings. Is the retirement plan committee using its time wisely talking about what is important? Or do you spend way too much time reviewing investment performance?"

"With healthcare open enrollment season quickly approaching, 401k plan sponsors may want to spend some time educating participants on the use of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). If you offer a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to your employees, they probably have the ability to contribute to HSAs.... [N]early everyone eligible to contribute to an HSA should max out their HSA contributions each year. Here's why."

"Both employees and employers have responsibilities they must fulfill in order for employees to reach retirement readiness nirvana.... There generally are three main categories of employer responsibility: [1] Encouraging employees to participate, [2] helping them manage their accounts and [3] protecting participants from themselves."

"Plan sponsors should keep in mind that choosing a 3(16) fiduciary to be responsible for some or all of their plan administration duties does not relieve them of all fiduciary responsibility.... Most 401(k) retirement plan sponsors who have retained an investment advisor who is a fiduciary, work with a 3(21) advisor.... Section 3(38) financial advisors often are a best fit for non-employee directed retirement plans, like defined benefit plans."

"If you are looking forward to an active retirement -- traveling, completing your bucket list, or in general doing all of the things you have been putting off while you have been busy working -- you will need to adjust your savings target higher. For example, that rule of thumb suggesting targeting 70% of pre-tax income should be closer to 90% for you. Or even higher.... Most are much more comfortable targeting a replacement ratio of 100% of their final annual earnings."
