Proactive Plan Enrollment
We offer one-on-one, onsite plan enrollment meetings. Employees who are unable to attend the 401(k) enrollment day (or who are newly eligible) will receive a personal follow-up call to ensure that they have an opportunity to enroll and start saving.

One-On-One Guidance
Retirement planning isn’t easy to understand. We know that your employees aren’t all investing experts — and they don’t have to be. Our team of 401(k) specialists helps employees create an investment and asset allocation strategy unique to their individual goals.

Multilingual Service
Fisher\SMB offers service support in English and Spanish, and translation services for other languages. Enrollment meetings and written materials may also be available in the language of your preference.
