PLANSPONSOR Weekend Newsdash
Week ending April 1st, 2016
It was an exciting week for PLANSPONSOR as we held our annual Awards for Excellence dinner. But, there was also some interesting news. The Department of Labor and Securities and Exchange Commission have put in their “two cents” about stock drop case pleadings;  a study shows parents spoil their children to the detriment of their finances and retirement savings; a case study by Humana quantifies the cost savings of employee wellness programs; and the idea of offering student loan repayment benefits to employees to help them save for retirement may pick up as Prudential announced it is offering Student Loan Genius’ solution to its clients. All this and more in this edition of PLANSPONSOR Weekend!
