What HR managers told us: What type of retirement plan does your organization have?

We asked 278 HR managers to describe the retirement-plan options offered by their organizations. Here’s what they said.

  • 401(k) or similar: 73%
  • Fixed pension: 5%
  • A combination: 16%
  • None: 6%

So it’s official: The fixed-pension plan is becoming a dinosaur. What’s gaining? Health Savings Accounts. 

At last count, about 6 million employees had signed up for HSAs, the high-deductible plans that allow workers to shelter earnings they don’t use for medical expenses.
