Aon Hewitt Urges U.S. Employers and Providers to Encourage Workers to Keep Retirement Dollars in the Employer-Provided System
Cashing Out or Rolling Retirement Balances into Other Vehicles Can Place Employees' Retirement Savings at Increased Risk
Apr 04, 2013, 14:28 ET from Aon plc
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A report just released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), "401(k) Plans: Labor and IRS Could Improve the Rollover Process for Participants," showed that the current 401(k) rollover system is complex, confusing, lacks consistency and favors moving money into individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Aon Hewitt, the global human resource solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), agrees with the GAO's findings and recommendations and urges companies to help workers reach their retirement savings goals by encouraging them to keep retirement dollars in the employer-provided retirement system. According to Aon Hewitt, employees who roll plan balances into retail accounts without fully understanding their options significantly increase their risk of not meeting their financial needs in retirement.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100719/AQ37264LOGO)
"The GAO's report brings to light very real problems with the current rollover system," said Alison Borland, vice president Retirement Solutions and Strategies at Aon Hewitt. "Keeping retirement dollars in the employer-provided system is paramount to helping workers ensure that they are adequately prepared for retirement, and we have long been concerned about the difficult process workers face when trying to roll one employer 401(k) plan into another. Aon Hewitt believes the GAO recommendations for improving the rollover process would go a long way to ensure that workers' best-interest and financial security is a top priority for employers and plan providers."
According to Aon Hewitt, many workers do not intuitively understand the advantages of keeping retirement savings dollars in the employer-provided system and do not have a trusted source of clear, understandable, unbiased education about their options. Consequently, it is crucial for employers to educate and communicate with employees about the benefit of participating in a qualified plan—and to ensure the information being provided to employees by third parties with whom they have a relationship is fair, unbiased and in the best interest of plan participants.
Employees who choose to roll retirement money into an IRA risk losing key features from within the employer-provided system, which can significantly impact long-term savings goals.
These benefits include:
- Enhanced purchasing power—Because larger defined contribution (DC) plans have hundreds or thousands of participants and assets of tens of millions of dollars or more, enhanced purchasing power allows them to offer institutional class investment products to employees at a lower cost for similar products than an individual would purchase on their own in an IRA.
- Access to unbiased tools and resources—These tools often include education, modeling tools, online advice, managed accounts, lifetime income solutions and access to experienced phone representatives. Like the investments, these are usually offered a much lower cost than what is available to individuals outside of the employer system. In addition, employees who also have a defined benefit (DB) plan with their employer benefit from integrated modeling tools that allow them to better manage their retirement savings.
- Employer expertise—By participating in a qualified plan, workers benefit from the fiduciary oversight and expertise of the plan sponsor and often outside experts in areas such as selecting investment options and reviewing plan design alternatives.
To encourage employees to keep their retirement savings in the employer-provided system, Aon Hewitt encourages employers to take the following steps:
Ask the right questions. When employers provide access to participants by any third parties, it is crucial that they understand the information and guidance that will be provided. Ask the provider to quantify the revenue generated from the different options available at retirement or termination in order to see if there are any business conflicts. Ask about the compensation and goals of the individuals who will be interacting with participants. Ask about the disclosures that will be provided regarding fees. Review agreements to determine what marketing messages can and will be sent directly to participants, and ensure that there is the appropriate level of comfort with those messages. Providers endorsed by the plan sponsor receive a heightened level of trust from workers, so it is important to make sure that trust is well placed.
Educate and communicate. Make sure employees have access to the right information about their options, and that they receive it at the right time. This means not only at the time of retirement or termination, but well in advance to help with planning. Use multiple channels, so that employees have options across self-service vehicles, such as online information, phone, or in-person support.
Make it easier for participants to roll over money into qualified retirement plans. The current process for rolling plan balances from one employer-provided plan to another can be complex and confusing, requiring a significant amount of paperwork and time by the employee. Employers and providers need to work together to make the process easier for participants.
"Most plan sponsors are indifferent when it comes to whether they want former employees to keep money in the plan or exit. Making it simple to roll dollars to other plans is not high on the priority list," added Borland. "Providers do not have an incentive to make it easy for money to leave them—they are losing a revenue source. We need to turn that attitude around and work together to act in the best interest of workers."
To simplify the process Aon Hewitt suggests plan sponsors and providers work together to make the process less arduous for employees. For example, periodically, and at an employee's termination, employees could be provided with resource materials or an educational campaign explaining the benefits of employer-provided plans, with clear and simple instructions on how to roll one plan into another. Plan sponsors could post this information on provider web sites along with phone numbers and web links for help.
Maintain an attractive investment line-up. One of the main reasons that IRA providers encourage rollovers out of an employer plan is because of lack of breadth of available investments compared to an IRA. Plan sponsors can help employees make the most of their retirement dollars by offering low-cost institutional core investment options, complemented by a self-directed brokerage (SDBA) option that provides access to the broad universe of mutual fund alternatives.
Offer an attractive retirement income option for those nearing retirement. Aon Hewitt's research shows that 29 percent of plans currently provide employees with some form of retirement income solution, either inside, or outside the plan. Including easy and flexible monthly payments, income planning and investment help and/or annuity options would give employees nearing retirement an added incentive to stay within the employer-provided system.

Policy on Bringing Children to your Appointment
For the safety and comfort of all, please refrain from bringing children under 10 to the clinic. If you must do so, please ensure there is a second adult with you to look after them while you have your consultation and/or treatment.
Appointment Cancellation Policy
Please take a little time to read over our cancellation policy.
Please allow a minimum of 24 hours notice, if you can no longer make your appointment. Less than 24 hours, or not turning up to your appointment, will result in a cancellation fee. The first time this happens, the fee will be £15, but on any subsequent occasions this fee will rise to £30.
A client who does not turn up or give sufficient notice 3 times, will not be allowed to make another appointment, until all cancellation fees have been paid.
We do try and provide a service at competitive prices, however when patients fail to arrive for appointments, our medical practitioners are left idle. If we were to make allowance for patients not arriving for their appointments, it would mean that our prices would have to increase.
Terms and Conditions
Cancellation and Failure to Arrive For Appointment
Grampian Cosmetic Clinic strives to provide a service at competitive prices: however, when patients fail to arrive for appointments, this leads to unused clinical time.
Therefore, we request that you provide us with at least 24 hours notice if you have to cancel or re-schedule an appointment. If you do not provide this or fail to attend your appointment you will be charged a fee of £30.
Appointment Times
Late arrival for a booked appointment may result in reduced treatment time or forfeit your appointment. Grampian Cosmetic Clinic will endeavour to ensure that your appointment runs to time; however, for reasons beyond our control, we may require to cancel or postpone your appointment at short notice. In this event, we will make every effort to contact you in advance.
Child Policy
In guidance with our Conditions of Registration with Health Improvement Scotland (for full details visit http://www.healthcareimprovementscotland.org). Children are not permitted to attend with you during any consultations, treatments or procedures.
We request that you do not bring children with you into the Clinic. Due to the medical nature of the premises it is not appropriate to leave children unattended in our waiting area whilst attending your appointment.
We thank you for your co-operation in allowing us to assure the safety and care of visitors to the Grampian Cosmetic Clinic.
Courses of Treatment
Pre-paid courses of treatment are valid for 2 years only.
Our aim is to give you the highest possible standard of service and we try and deal with any problems as quickly as possible.
If you are unhappy with a treatment or any aspect of your care, please bring this to the attention of Dr James Beattie (Medical Director) or Michelle Lorimer (Clinic Manager). You will be given a full copy of our Complaints Policy to take with you.
Data Protection and Information Management Policy
Policy statement
Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited is committed to a policy of protecting the rights and privacy of employees, clients, suppliers, business contacts and other people the company has a relationship with or may need to contact in accordance with The Data Protection Act 1998. Any breach of The Data Protection Act 1998 or Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited's Data Protection Policy is considered to be an offence and in that event, disciplinary procedures apply.
Data protection law
The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organisations – including Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited – must collect, handle and store personal information.
The rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.
To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully.
The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. These say that personal data must:
- Be processed fairly and lawfully
- Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes
- Be adequate, relevant and not excessive
- Be accurate and kept up to date
- Not be held for any longer than necessary
- Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
- Be protected in appropriate ways
- Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or territory also ensure an adequate level of protection.
Managing data protection
This policy applies to:
• All staff of Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited • All contractors, suppliers and other people working on behalf of Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited
It applies to all data that the Clinic holds relating to identifiable individuals. This can include: • Personal details such as name, age, address, telephone numbers, email address and general medical practitioner; • Details of past and current medical conditions; • Clinical photographs; • Information about the treatment provided or proposed to be provided (including cost); • Notes of conversations or incidents that might occur for which a record needs to be kept; • Records of consent to treatment; • Any correspondence with other healthcare professionals: such as referrals to or from specialists, for example. • Plus any other information relating to individuals
Data protection risks
This policy helps protect Grampian Cosmetic Clinic from data security risks, including:
• Breaches of confidentiality – For instance, information being given out inappropriately. • Failing to offer choice – For instance, all individuals should be free to choose how the company use data relating to them. • Damaged Reputation – For instance, the company could suffer if hackers successfully gained access to sensitive data.
Everyone who works for or with Grampian Cosmetic Clinic has some responsibility for ensuring data is collected, stored and handled appropriately.
However, Dr James Beattie is the Director of the Clinic and is ultimately responsible for ensuring it meets its legal obligations. He is also the clinic's data controller, registered with the Information Commissioner. The data controller is responsible for:
• Reviewing all data protection procedures and related policies, in line with an agreed schedule. • Arranging data protection training and advice for the people covered by this policy. • Handling data protection questions from staff and anyone else covered by the policy. • Dealing with requests from individuals to see the data Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited holds about them. • Checking and approving any contracts or agreements with third parties that may handle the company's sensitive data.
The Clinic Manager, Sharon Hanton, in conjunction with the company's IT consultants Clark IT, is responsible for: • Ensuring all IT systems, services and equipment used for storing data meet acceptable security standards. • Performing regular checks and scans to ensure security hardware and software is functioning properly. • Evaluating any third-party services the company is considering sing to store or process data. For instance, cloud computing services.
The Marketing Manager, Mara Sturton, in conjunction with the Clinic Manager, Sharon Hanton, is responsible for: • Approving any data protection statements attached to communications such as emails and letters. • Addressing any data protection queries from journalists or media outlets like newspapers. • Ensuring marketing initiatives abide by data protection principles.
General staff guidelines
• The only people able to access data covered by this policy should be those who need it for their work. • Data should not be shared informally. • Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited will provide training to all employees to help them understand their responsibilities when handling data. • Employees should keep all data secure, by taking sensible precautions and following guidelines below. • In particular, strong passwords must be used and they should never be shared. • Personal data should not be disclosed to unauthorised people, either within the company or externally. • Data should be regularly reviewed and updated if it is found to be out of date. If no longer required, it should be deleted and disposed of. • Employees should request help from their line manager or the data controller if they are unsure about any aspects of data protection.
Data storage
These rules describe how and where data should be safely stored. Questions about storing data can be directed to the data controller.
When data is stored on paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised people cannot see it.
These guidelines also apply to data that is usually stored electronically but has been printed out for some reason:
• When not required, the paper or files should be kept in a locked drawer or filing cabinet. • Employees should make sure paper and printouts are not left where unauthorised people could see them, like on a printer. • Data printouts should be shredded and disposed of securely when no longer required.
When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorised access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts:
• Data should be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly and never shared between employees. • If data is stored on removable media, these should be kept local away securely when not being used. • Data should only be stored on designated drives and servers, and should only be uploaded to an approved cloud computing service. • Servers containing personal data should be sited in a secure location, away from general office space. • Data should be backed up frequently. Those backups should be tested regularly, in line with the company's standard backup procedures. • Data should never be saved directly to laptops or other mobile devices like tablets or smart phones. • All servers and computers containing data should be protected by approved security software and a firewall.
Data use
Personal data is of no value to Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited unless the business can make use of it. However, it is when personal data is accessed and used that it can be at the greatest risk of loss, corruption or theft:
• When working with personal data, employees should ensure the screens of their computers are always locked when left unattended. • Personal data should not be shared informally. In particular, it should never be sent by email, as this form of communication is not secure. • Data must be encrypted before being transferred electronically. • Personal data should never be transferred outside of the European Economic Area. • Employees should not save copies of personal data to their own computers. Always access and update the central copy of any data.
Data accuracy
The law requires Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited to take reasonable steps to ensure data is kept accurate and up to date.
It is the responsibility of all employees who work with data to take reasonable steps to ensure it is kept as accurate and up to date as possible.
• Data will be held in as few places as necessary. Staff should not create any unnecessary additional data sets. • Staff should take every opportunity to ensure data is updated. For instance, by confirming a client's details when they call or attend the clinic. • Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited will make it easy for data subjects to update the information the company holds about them. • Data should be updated as inaccuracies are discovered. For instance, if a client can no longer be reached on their stored telephone number, it should be removed from the database. • It is the marketing manager's responsibility to ensure that marketing databases are checked regularly.
Subject access requests
All individuals who are the subject of personal data held by Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited are entitled to:
• Ask what information the company holds about them and why. • Ask how to gain access to it. • Be informed how to keep it up to date. • Be informed how the company is meeting its data protection obligations.
If an individual contacts the company requesting this information, this is called a subject access request.
Subject access requests from individuals should be made by email, addressed to the data controller at email@example.com. The data controller can supply a standard request form, although individuals do not have to use this.
Individuals will be charged £10 per subject access request. The data controller will aim to provide the relevant data within 14 days.
The data controller will always verify the identity of anyone making a subject access request before handing over any information.
Disclosing data for other reasons
In certain circumstances, the Data Protection Act allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without the consent of the data subject.
Under these circumstances, Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited will disclose requested data. However, the data controller will ensure the request is legitimate, seeking assistance from legal advisers where necessary.
Providing information
Grampian Cosmetic Clinic Limited aims to ensure that individuals are aware that their data is being processed, and that they understand:
• How data is being used • How to exercise their rights
To these ends, the company has a privacy statement, setting out how data relating to individuals is used by the company. (This is available on request).

India's monsoons are a powerful metaphor for the way Goldman Sachs' Prashant Khemka views India.
They not only reflect the volatile storms that can engulf the country's stock market, but also highlight the government's struggles to move the economy onto a more modern footing.
When it comes to market turbulence, Khemka seems to have weatherproofed his $1.4 billion (€1.2 billion) Goldman Sachs India Equity fund admirably, as he has managed to maintain his Citywire AAA rating for more than a year.
The fund's three-year numbers back this up, with a 72.1% return to the end of March, compared with 40.8% from the MSCI India index.
On the second point, Khemka, who runs several other funds at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, including the Goldman Sachs BRICS Portfolio, is both frustrated by and positive on the present government, especially when dealing with agriculture.
'India's agriculture sector is still very dependent on the monsoon, although much less than it was three decades ago,' he says.
He is relieved the government is trying to address the problem through its recent budget, where it announced subsidies for rural areas and better infrastructure.
'Irrigation facilities have improved but the last two monsoons were a reminder that much remains to be done.'
Trials of taxation
While the government is trying to support the rural population by helping them to better utilise the rain to grow more crops, Khemka thinks it could do more for the urban-based financial sector, which would boost the economy.
'India has a very good growth rate of 7% or so over various time frames. But there is no reason why it could not have grown as fast as, or faster than, China. Why has it grown at 7%, rather than 9% or 10% or higher?'
One of the ways India's economy could expand is through urbanisation. Agriculture currently employs more than half the population, but only accounts for about 18% of the country's GDP. However, Khemka says one of the biggest problems facing the country is the structural framework for commerce.
'To grow much faster we have to make it easier to do business in India. 'But "business" is a bad word here and no political party wants to call itself pro-business.'
While the government is taking steps to resolve the problem, Khemka thinks it could do a lot more. Simplifying the maze of tax regulations is a case in point.
'Companies are doing their best, but the government could remove many impediments. It is making some headway, and its proposed changes to the common goods and services tax probably represent the biggest single reform of the past decade, since the bank shake-up in the early 90s. This would mark a big step forward in facilitating economic activity.'
'It is not about paying lower taxes, but making the system more convenient and effective. The hours and hours highly productive people spend wrestling with complicated regulation could be utilised instead for economic activity,' he says.
Making the right call
An area where India has surged ahead is the mobile and telecoms industry and Khemka believes this is one area where the government has made a real difference.
'Mobile telephony has been a big contributor to the country's growth over the last decade or two, but growth alone does not ensure gains for equity investors. Return on incremental capital is more important and this is one sector the government has got right,' he says.
'It has achieved its objective here by encouraging competition. Prices in India are one of the lowest in the world. This competitive environment is healthy for consumers, who were paying hundreds of rupees per minute to make long-distance calls two decades ago.'
This industry is booming as more and more people use mobile phones to access the internet, so why does Khemka have no holdings in the sector? He thinks competition is good for consumers, but bad for him.
'Competition in India is so intense that returns on capital barely cover the cost of capital over the cycle. For this reason, we have struggled to find good investment opportunities in the sector.'
In contrast, Khemka prefers companies showing growth potential. One area he believes holds more promise than mobile telecoms is the IT industry. He has 17.9% of his India Equity fund allocated here, which represents the portfolio's second-largest sector allocation.
Meanwhile, the biggest single-company holding is Bangalore-based software engineering and outsourcing services provider, Infosys, at 8.8%.
'The Indian IT industry continues to grow in double digits and is taking a share of global IT budgets from the big players. While growth is not as strong as the 20% levels in past years, the sector is much bigger than it was 10 or 20 years ago and is now around the $100 billion mark,' he says.
'At this size, its current rate of growth is no trivial task and is faster than the global IT services industry as a whole. There will be specific instances from the last 10-20 years of companies moving their resources away from India back to the country where they are domiciled, but that trend is much smaller compared with the size of work that is being offshored by other companies to India.'
This is an extract of an article which originally appeared in the May edition of Citywire Selector magazine.

Monday was called Day 0 by event organizers for the fact that it was a day to unwind before the conference sessions and speeches.
The day started with an invite only golf tournament. Though scores of all participants clearly show that none of us will be quitting our day jobs, fun was had by all. The course was dry and the sun was out in full, which was a good departure from the snow and cold temperatures I have had to endure for the bulk of this winter.
Not long after everyone got back, registration was opened and Parallels set a new all time attendance record.
This year's Parallels Summit official kicked off at 7pm on the dance/drinking floor of Mandalay Bay's Eyecandy lounge. Intel and Microsoft sponsored the event and picked up the tab at the bar. In two hours, the attendees rang up a $5,000+ bar tab. Not too shabby considering the long lines for drinks.
After the party I found myself in good company, being invited by Parallels to the Blue Man Group Show at the Venetian. A fun time was had by all, but sadly no one from my group was chosen to perform alongside the blue faced trio.
Day 1 of Parallel's Summit is now moments away and judging by the hefty bag worth of press releases I can already see it will be a busy year.

Styles are useful for defining the look and feel of your
applications built with Adobe® Flex®. You can use them to change the appearance
of a single component, or apply them across all components.
Flex 4 deemphasizes the use of style properties for some tasks.
Instead of styling individual components, or classes of components,
you can use custom skins to perform most operations that change
the look and feel of your applications. This includes adding background
colors and images, borders, and other properties that were styleable
in Flex 3 applications. For more information on skinning, see Spark Skinning.
Peter deHaan's blog, FlexExamples.com has many examples of
using styles and themes in Flex.

Today's editorial: It makes no let Iran benefit from U.S. investment — with the help of government funds, no less — while Tehran pursues nuclear ambitions.
It's an inexact calculation at best, putting a dollar figure on the undermined credibility of a legitimate U.S. effort to pressure Iran into thinking better of trying to develop nuclear weapons. Still, it's worth a try.
How does, oh, $15 billion sound?
That's how much the United States has paid during the past decade to foreign and American-based multinational companies that have defied sanctions and embargoes against Iran by investing in oil and gas reserves there.
Then, again, the cost of inconsistent policies might be more than $107 billion. That's the accumulated price of contract payments, grants and other benefits to all the companies doing business in Iran despite U.S. attempts to discourage it, according to a New York Times report.
It's the money that both the Obama administration and the Bush administration paid to companies involved with the Iranian energy industry, though, that's especially maddening. That's the business that provides a government with such dangerous ambitions so much of its revenue. And oil and gas exploration are one of the strongholds of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which controls Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
So much for diplomacy, then, and so much for more explicit laws banning trade with Iran. Of 74 companies that the Times found that do business with both the U.S. and Iran, 49 said they have no intention to change how they operate.
The sanctions only apply, directly speaking, to American companies. Many of the firms that see money to be made in a country that's an aspiring nuclear power aren't covered by such laws. And diplomatic pressure is difficult, at best.
A 1996 law that seeks to retaliate against companies that invest more than $20 million a year in Iran's oil and gas fields has never really been applied. Three different presidential administrations have been wary of the potential foreign policy consequences of enforcing it.
So the U.S., like other Western governments, relies more on approaches like "terrorism free" divestment campaigns by shareholders and the general disenchantment of doing business with Iran.
One encouraging development is that two of the biggest suppliers of gasoline to Iran, the Swiss-Dutch companies Vitol and Trafigura, have bowed out of that market, in apparent response to such pressure.
More needs to be done, though. Congress should pass legislation making companies that invest in the Iranian energy industry ineligible for federal contracts. Such a law would be similar to those in 19 states, including New York, that are designed to stop pension funds from investing in Iran.
"We need to send a strong message to corporations that we're not going to continue to allow them to economically enable the Iranian government to continue to do what they have been doing," says Rep. Ron Klein, D-Fla.
Anyone care to argue with him — and for the idea of financing a nuclear Iran?

[deleted account] ( 3 moms have responded )
Hi all! My 6 month old son is exclusively breastfed and I have no desire to start on formula or pump and bottle feed. My questions is this... has anyone else had a problem when they had to be away for a couple of hours and their baby would not take a bottle? I have an event I have to go to and I'm contemplating having someone drive him up every couple of hours so I can step out and nurse him. He will not take any kind of bottle. I've tried Avent, Playtex drop in with the latex nipple and Dr. Brown. I've got some pumped milk in the freezer I would like to use for him. Did anyone else have this problem and what did you do? Thanks so much!!
