My Favorite Thing About My Work at RSG
Some of my favorite moments are working 1-on-1 with plan participants to create individualized retirement readiness plans. Seemingly small acts such as increasing one's contribution or reviewing their investments can often go a long way to ensuring those individuals are able to live a comfortable retirement. The most satisfying part of participant interactions is the appreciation expressed by participants for the support they received.
About Me
As a Sr. Relationship Manager, Chris is responsible for driving the client relationship to ensure successful outcomes for both plan sponsors and plan participants. He works with our plan sponsors to ensure their plan offering is competitive, cost-efficient, and meets the needs of both the business and its employees. He works with plan participants to ensure that they are engaged with their retirement plan and create retirement reediness strategies to ensure participants are able to achieve their retirement goals.
As a member of the RSG Relationship Management team Chris assists with employee enrollment & ongoing education, 401(k) committee reviews, and sales. His dedication to making 401(k) plans work for all parties can be seen in his work ethic and creative problem-solving abilities.
