Empower’s top satisfaction ratings doubled in four years, a 2020 PlanSponsor Magazine survey says
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Feb. 16, 2021 — Empower Retirement earned the highest number of “Best in Class” ratings from its customers in an annual survey from PLANSPONSOR Magazine that gauges employers’ satisfaction with their retirement plan providers.
"Best in Class” is given for the highest level of customer satisfaction. Among the 10 largest retirement plan providers in the survey, Empower received the most “Best in Class” awards and earned high ratings in key areas including plan management, cybersecurity policies and retirement planning tools.
The 2020 PLANSPONSOR Defined Contribution Survey aims to offer insights into the relationships between plan sponsors and their recordkeeper, according the PLANSPONSOR website. The survey asks plan sponsors to rate their retirement plan providers in 23 areas across six categories — participant services; sponsor services; service teams and support; plan administration; and investments and fees.
“It’s a great compliment for us to hear from clients that we are providing them with the best customer service and experience across the board,” said Edmund F. Murphy III, Empower Retirement President and CEO. “Every Empower associate is focused on our clients’ needs and designing plans that offer the best solutions for employees.”
