How employers can help close the racial retirement wealth gap
Closing the racial retirement wealth gap requires a concerted effort from financial service providers, legislators, policymakers, and individual savers. This may take time.
But employers can start with these four steps to help Black and Hispanic employees save for retirement:
Offer a 401(k) to your employees if your company doesn’t already.
Provide financial literacy training to all your employees.
Match your employees’ contributions if you can afford to.
Automatically enroll your employees in your company’s plan.
