Blue Sky has been working with Rebalance since July 2023. Since the start of the engagement, Blue Sky has experienced a 46% decrease in costs, over a 45% increase in employee participation levels, and over a 15% increase in employee contribution amounts. Retirement benefits, or the lack thereof, are often a major driver in attracting top staff to an organization. Prior to implementing BetterK, Blue Sky was experiencing high costs in its current 401(k) plan, some of which were hidden, and very low employee participation. Employees were not at all engaged about the 401(k) plan, and there was no education or service provided to them.When BetterK entered the picture, with low costs, frequent employee education, and white-glove service, Blue Sky's 401(k) plan came alive."Before we hired Rebalance BetterK to take over our plan, our 401(k) retirement plan was just traditional," said Blue Sky CFO Matt Walsh. "Since we implemented BetterK, our results have been spectacular. The best part of all is there is a genuine excitement about the 401(k) plan among our employees. We expect this to decrease employee turnover and to increase our ability to attract top talent." BetterK is Rebalance's innovative 401(k) plan, designed to dramatically improve investment options for small business owners and their employees. The BetterK team works with small businesses throughout the U.S. to help lower 401(k) plan fees, provide stellar service and education, and increase employee engagement and participation. "Blue Sky's success story is one that we are quite proud of here at Rebalance BetterK," said David Ranney, Vice President, Rebalance, BetterK. "The company had a very generous 401(k) plan, and they just were not getting the results they hoped for because they did not have an engaged financial advisor. Through a commitment to customer service, education, and building excitement about the 401(k) plan, we have been able to achieve great results, with more to come. This partnership is the embodiment of Rebalance. We are living up to our core tenet of helping Blue Sky employees live well and retire with more."
