Ascensus Meets Need for Retirement Plan Education

DRESHER, Pa. - July 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Total Benefit Communications (TBC), an Ascensus company, achieved a record-setting year for revenue and benefits meetings as the marketplace demanded more employee benefits communication and education.

During 2012, TBC’s network of Regional Education Specialists hosted more than three times as many onsite retirement plan enrollment meetings than in 2011, signaling an increased appetite among employers for quality information and resources.

“The key to our success is that we work closely with financial professionals across the country to help them solve for the specific needs of their clients,” said Kimberly Sexton, Vice President, TBC. “No matter the location, language needs, or complexity of a retirement plan, our specialists are trained to educate employees and encourage action.”
