Employers Committed To Helping Workers Save For Retirement In response to warning signs that employees may not be saving successfully for retirement, growing numbers of employers plan to step up their efforts over the coming year to help workers maximize their 401(k) savings, according to the results of a survey of retirement plan sponsors by human resources consultancy Hewitt Associates. More Highly Skilled Professionals Are Working From Home The trend toward working at home appears to be accelerating, especially among higher earners and well-educated employees, with more than 11 million people working from home by the middle of the last decade, according to a report recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
