EBRI Webinar Examines Impact of Tenure on Retirement Savings
RCH's Tom Hawkins summarizes the April 10th EBRI webinar Trends in Employee Tenure, which offered EBRI’s latest
research examining broad employee tenure trends, and the impact that shorter
tenure has on retirement savings. The webinar’s presenters included Craig
Copeland, EBRI and Spencer Williams, Retirement Clearinghouse (RCH), and was
moderated by Stacy Schaus, Schaus Group LLC. In his portion of the
presentation, Williams introduced the concept of “synthetic tenure” – whereby
enhancing system-wide portability -- particularly for small accounts -- enables
participants to preserve their savings through job changes, mirroring the
success of EBRI’s longer-tenured, “consistent participation” population.
