Hagan Newkirk’s Retirement Plan Participant Based Service Model:Our Retirement Plan Participant On-Boarding Process
Hagan Newkirk designs and conducts engaging and educational retirement plan enrollment sessions for company work force/employees. Our effective on-boarding process is one of the biggest reasons employers in the Little Rock Arkansas area choose and trust Hagan Newkirk to provide and manage their retirement plans and investment options.

STEP 1: Hagan Newkirk works with employers to rally their employees around retirement planning! Communication is key, Hagan Newkirk gives employers creative and effective ways to promote retirement plan enrollment by providing:

• Custom designed informational e-mails to send to employees with retirement plan enrollment meeting date(s), location(s), and time(s).
• Custom designed retirement plan enrollment flyers and posters for the office, break rooms, bathrooms, etc.
• Custom designed retirement plan enrollment paystub notices and/or clock-in prompt notices.
• Any and all other creative forms of communication that are a good fit for employers to rally their employees around participating in the company’s retirement plan!

STEP 2: Hagan Newkirk advisors conduct enrollment sessions. Our goal is to effectively get employees through the financial planning process by engaging them in thoughtful dialogue, helping to determine their risk tolerance, analyzing Gap Reports, suggesting Catch-up Plan options, educating employees on investment options and finally guiding them to make the right investment choices that are a fit for them.

Hagan Newkirk presents on screen illustrations to employees in enrollment meetings. These visuals help to explain the enrollment process, any retirement plan changes that employees need to be made aware of, and/or any new investment options that are available that they might want to consider. Our advisors explain in detail how to fill out our simple 7 Question Risk Questionnaire and Retirement Plan Enrollment form. Advisors are on hand during the entire enrollment meeting, answering questions, offering knowledge and support. This encourages employees to become participants before leaving the enrollment session.
Typically, employers will see 90 – 95% of their employees successfully enrolled in retirement plan options after attending the enrollment meeting.
