Financial Wellness Awards

The Retirement Advisor Council recognizes meritorious retirement plan sponsors with financial wellness awards since 2019.   Winners are selected by jury from among nominations received from Council members.  The jury considers a range of factors including retirement plan outcomes, goals, metrics, and approach of the financial wellness program, range of financial wellness services offered, the involvement of the retirement plan recordkeeper and retirement plan advisor in the financial wellness program, success of the financial wellness program, and other wellbeing benefits offered.
