Chris Garza, RCH’s Service and Consolidation Team Manager, provides insight into the top five mistakes that participants make when changing jobs.

In his 10/2/15 MarketWatch article Let a Roll-in Increase Your Retirement Income, RCH President & CEO J. Spencer Williams advises retirement savers to bring their savings with them, vs. leaving their accounts behind -- or worse, cashing out.

I can still vividly recall the summer afternoon that my mom burst through our front door, anxiously asking where my little sister was.  I was 10 at the time, and my sister was 7.  “She’s in the backyard with her friends….why do you ask?”  One look out the window gave me the answer: our next door neighbor had been changing his oil, when the car slipped off the jack, crushing him beneath its weight.   

How Job Changing Impacts Retirement Savings 

In conjunction with Boston Research Technologies, RCH announced the findings of a groundbreaking research study on America’s mobile workforce, providing insights into participant behaviors regarding retirement savings portability. The study offers plan sponsors with strategies to stem cashouts and to improve retirement outcomes. On May 28th, RCH and Boston Research Technologies teamed with PLANSPONSOR to deliver a webcast, where attendees were presented the study’s key findings, implications and action items.
