UPS: Helping Employees Save for the Unexpected
“Emergency savings is important because it helps our people prepare in their financial wellness.[…] We just want to make it easy for people to save for those emergency situations.”
B.J. Dorfman, Director, Global Retirement Strategy and U.S. Benefits, UPS
How After-Tax Options Enhance Savings Habits
UPS is proud to offer an employer-sponsored 401(k) for their 100,000 non-union employees. So how does the business ensure those hard-earned savings actually go toward retirement, and not unexpected expenses?
Through BlackRock’s Emergency Savings Initiative (ESI), UPS partnered with Commonwealth, a nonprofit that focuses on financial security, and retirement solutions provider Voya Financial to find an emergency savings solution for its employees. By combining the after-tax option in its existing 401(k) offering with a strategic communications campaign, UPS helped its employees save a total of $15 million over a 21-month period.
