New research findings raise an important question for employers: Are your retirement plans truly supporting your employees, or are they costing them more than they should?

Almost half (47%) of small- to mid-size firms and startups – that have not previously offered a retirement plan – opted for a PEP because of the cost and administrative responsibilities, according to Transamerica's new survey.

Although businesses don't have to be fully remote to succeed, it also is not an impediment to their growth.

When employees are of normal weight, that can help an employer save $31.55 per member per month on care for type 2 diabetes and $22.60 per member per month on care for osteoarthritis, according to a new analysis.
