Help your employees to be retirement-ready
Improve productivity, reduce distraction, and increase employee engagement while reducing labor and benefits cost such as vacation days, 401(k), health and dental insurance. Increase retention rates for up-and-coming talent. When employees feel their employer cares about them, they are more likely to reciprocate.
Research indicates that a one-year increase in average retirement age results in:
An incremental cost of over $50,000 for an individual whose retirement is delayed. This represents the cost differential between the retiring employee and a newly hired employee.1
Incremental annual workforce costs of about 1.0%-1.5% for an entire workforce.2
For an employer with 3,000 employees and workforce costs of $200 million, a one-year delay in retirement age may cost about $2-3 million.3
Annual healthcare costs for a 65 year-old or older worker are twice those of a worker between the ages of 45 and 54 .4
In Addition:
- 37% of employers say lingering older workers could clog up promotional ladders and hurt younger workers 5
- 40% of employers are worried that older workers take large bite out of their company’s salary and healthcare budget because older workers cost more than younger workers. 6
