Regardless of the makeup of an employee communication program, it must pave the way to action. For example, it is not enough to hold a financial seminar for employees in the hope that they will take action. The success of such a seminar greatly increases if workers can respond immediately.

In light of new fee disclosure regulations enacted by the U.S. Department of Labor, pension plan sponsors are anticipating an explosion of inquiries from their employees about the meaning of the new disclosures.
