NorthstarPMO is delighted to announce that it has partnered with Human Interest, a 401(k) provider for small and medium sized businesses, to add an affordable retirement benefit service to its clients.
Human Interest eliminates the burden of managing a 401(k) plan with easy setup and administration, recordkeeping, and streamlined onboarding for employees. A top rated 401(k) provider on Google, Human Interests works with over 7,000+ businesses and has a 70% participation rate - which is twice the industry average.
Traditionally, 401k plans have come with two significant barriers to entry for smaller businesses - cost, and management effort. In our ongoing mission to make quality HR offerings available at an affordable price point, and to remove the administrative burden of running them, we have partnered with Human Interest to make 401k plans available to our clients with special terms and pricing.
Small business retirement plans are a hot topic right now - with over 40 states passing or introducing legislation to mandate that small businesses offer a qualified retirement plan to employees. But it is about much more than compliance - did you know that a retirement savings benefit is the most important element to a benefits package after medical insurance in the eyes of many employees? As a small business, you'll know that attracting and retaining the right talent is critical to your success - so why not consider offering a quality, easy-to-use 401k plan to help you stand out from the crowd?
