Over
the last few years, your employees have watched as market corrections
and events like September 11th have had devastating
effects on their retirement portfolios.
Any remaining confidence they may have had has been rocked by
news stories involving companies like Enron and Tyco.
Charles
Jaffe recently wrote about a survey funded by Charles Schwab (Boston
Globe, 03/27/02). The
primary concerns expressed in this survey indicate that the respondents:
·
Do more research
·
Diversify more
·
Listen to financial advisors
·
Worry more
While these sentiments are surprising to many, they are indicative of a
stronger and more important need. Your
employees need access to information and ideas that will help restore
their confidence; both in their ability to effectively interact with
human resource and financial advisors and make some of the necessary
decisions facing them as they work toward that retirement.
We can help you provide this
information and training to your employees.
