The Silent 170K

At T. Rowe Price, we believe that changing employee behavior requires a combination of service offerings that motivate employees and make it easy to take action.

Plan Design

Auto-solutions and other plan design features have proven successful in driving positive outcomes, even for disengaged participants. For example, only 1% of the Silent 170K opted out of auto-enrollment in 2016, compared with 11.6% for other participants.

 

Enablement

For participants who are facing immediate financial challenges, a financial wellness program can help remove the barriers that prevent them from saving for long-term goals, including retirement.

Engagement Today's technology means that participants are bombarded with media 24/7, making it even harder to capture the attention of disengaged participants. Our Participant Experience uses insights into effective technology and marketing approaches to cut through the noise.
