Retirement benefits are often looked at through the lens of the individual. But research has found, good workplace retirement plans create value for employers too. In our latest research, HOOPP commissioned Common Wealth to explore how offering workplace retirement benefits can help employers’ bottom line by directing compensation dollars more efficiently, attracting and retaining high-quality workforce talent and improving productivity.

The report presents a business case for good workplace retirement plans. It aims to serve as a framework for a conversation about how Canadian businesses can offer and enhance workplace retirement plans to create business value, while strengthening retirement security for workers.
