YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- There are
over 100 employees at Boak & Sons who work in the residential
and commercial roofing, siding, gutters, insulation and sheet metal
departments. With tax season in full swing, Sam Boak takes the time to meet with employees
to discuss finances. He finds this to be an important part of the
company's culture, supporting staff beyond the traditional
responsibilities as an employer.
Sam Boak has an open-door policy;
employees know they can come to him for work or personal reasons.
Employees who are struggling to understand and improve their
financial situation look to him for guidance. "It is about making a
difference in the lives of our employees, not just providing a
weekly paycheck," Sam Boak says. "It
is great to see their joy when they receive their 401(k) and profit
sharing. Some of these men never had an opportunity to save like
this. They thank us for helping them take care of their future and
their joy shows me that I am doing the right thing."
At Boak & Sons, all employees are given the opportunity to
open a 401(k) plan and are encouraged to invest in it. Sam Boak believes everyone should be able to
successfully save for their retirement. He provides multiple
resource opportunities to emphasize the need to invest for the
future and teaches his employees how to set themselves up for
financial success.
One of the things Sam Boak does
to assist in bettering his employee's financial futures is present
a slideshow at the mandatory annual Safety Day. Chief financial
officer, Pat Finn, goes into detail
the amount of money you can save if you invest small portions of
your paycheck into a 401(k) plan. With only half of Americans
having access to a 401(k), this basic education is important for
Boak & Sons employees. It also gives them the opportunity for
tax advantages and a "built-in" savings plan as funds are
automatically taken out of a paycheck.
