Big 401(k) Changes, Bigger Employee Impact

Guest: Brad Champagne

 

I am excited to share the first episode in our Sponsor Spotlight segment of the podcast!  Brad shares candid details about his company, their culture, their 401(k) plan and most importantly the circumstances surrounding some significant plan changes they made to put their employees on a better path to retirement.  As you will hear, the retirement committee really struggled with the impact and disruption to both their employees and the company the potential changes could have.
