ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A campaign to improve the retirement savings of the employees of a manufacturer of plastic containers has been honored as one of the best defined contribution retirement plan education campaigns of the year.
The campaign for Ring Companies, of Oakland, Tenn., conducted by Securian Financial Group, its 401(k) service provider, was among 46 campaigns honored in the 22nd annual Eddy Awards, sponsored by Pensions & Investments magazine. The Ring Companies and Securian campaign won first place in the corporate ongoing investment education category for companies with fewer than 1,000 employees.
“It’s rewarding to see our work with a valued client recognized by Pensions & Investments as an industry best,” said Ted Schmelzle, Securian’s director of plan sponsor services. “We love working with Ring Companies to help its employees achieve their retirement goals.”
Ring Companies has a 401(k) plan with $33 million in assets covering 642 employees working in 15 U.S. plants. The employee education campaign included information sessions as well as the distribution of print communications to highlight the 401(k) plan’s target-date fund series and risk-based model portfolios, using easy-to-understand language and imagery.
