New Initiative from MetLife Resources
Encourages K-12 Educators to Strategically Approach Retirement at
Each Stage of Their Professional Life
As the school year begins across the country, teachers are yet
again focused on preparing students for successful futures. For
most educators, students come first, but it’s just as important for
teachers to commit to their own lifetime of learning and financial
success. MetLife is dedicated to helping teachers achieve this goal
and expand their knowledge about retirement planning throughout
their careers, which is why the company has launched its new
“MetLife 3 R’s to RetirementSM” campaign and website:
3r.metlife.com.
“Teachers devote their careers to helping students build
promising lives, but when it comes to planning for their own
retirement, there’s always an opportunity to learn more about the
benefits of saving and the options available to them,” said Derrick
Kelson, vice president of MetLife Premier Client Group, Workplace
Initiatives. “With our new ‘MetLife 3 R’s to Retirement’ campaign,
we are committed to expanding the range of resources and guidance
that our MetLife financial services representatives already bring
to school employees. We’re encouraging teachers of all ages to
‘review’ their retirement savings goals, ‘reassess’ their progress,
then ‘retire’ when they’re ready. In doing so, we aim to help them
more strategically contribute to their 403(b) plans and ultimately,
achieve a more financially secure retirement.”
A cornerstone of this new initiative is to broaden awareness
among K-12 educators of their employer-sponsored retirement plans
and the new tools available to them at 3r.metlife.com. Tools
provided on the website can help educators assess their savings and
align their progress with their overall retirement goals. The
campaign also promotes the one-on-one retirement planning guidance
MetLife financial services representatives provide to educators to
encourage them to take advantage of this available resource.
MetLife understands that greater awareness can spur more
confidence and better retirement outcomes, which are particularly
important for educators. In fact, the LIMRA Secure Retirement
Institute 2015 Plan Sponsor Study reports that K-12 administrators
feel that only 41% of their employees will be financially prepared
for retirement.
