Survey
Employer Match
Offering an employer matching contribution in defined contribution plans can incentivize employee participation. Match eligibility periods and vesting schedules that favor plan participants can be further incentives and used for employee attraction, depending on plan sponsor goals. The 2025 DC Survey: Plan Benchmarking report shows that 58% of DC plan sponsors tie match eligibility to plan eligibility. Kristi K. Baker, of CSi Advisory Services, says sponsors continue to reduce waiting periods for eligibility to attract employees, but, last year, her firm had several clients modify their vesting schedules to a longer period with the goal of rewarding and encouraging employee tenure. —RM
