The New Retirement Mindscape^® in the Workplace

In this second podcast in this series, Rusty Field, Vice President of Financial Education and Planning Services - Ameriprise Financial, discusses the findings of The New Retirement Mindscape study from a workplace perspective, exploring its implications for employers, employees and retirement plan benefits. Field reveals insights about how these stages impact workers and their retirement savings behaviors as they begin the emotional path to retirement 15 years or more prior to their actual retirement date. They conclude that understanding these stages can help employers more accurately measure the effectiveness of their retirement plan benefits, improve the design of their retirement plans, and better shape their retirement education programs to help more employees achieve retirement security.
