Help Employers Engage Participants with Three Intriguing Questions

MIT AgeLab has identified three questions you or your plan-sponsor clients should ask plan participants to assess how prepared they are to live well in retirement:

2. How will I get an ice cream cone?
3. Who will I have lunch with?

They actually uncover important factors about aging in place, staying mobile, and maintaining a strong social network in retirement. These factors can serve as a starting point for planning a satisfying retirement.
