To support the rapid growth of Whoop, a wearable technology company, and its young workforce, the retirement plan committee comprehensively modernized the plan. Via a request for proposals, the team chose a new recordkeeper, for its scalability of platform, fiduciary support and participant offerings. The overhauled plan features automatic enrollment, automatic escalation, a 100% match of 5%, and low-cost institutional investment funds and collective investment trusts, replacing commission-based funds. A multichannel education and financial wellness program ups engagement.
