AIG Retirement Services has launched an interactive assessment tool, FutureFIT Wellness Check, to help retirement plan participants.
The addition to AIG’s FutureFIT participant digital platform aims to guide and support individuals to develop personalized plans that will allow them to achieve their financial goals. The online checkup—available to all eligible employees, not only active retirement plan participants—offers direct access to financial wellness tools for budgets, emergency savings, debt management, student loans, and retirement planning.
Gilliane Isabelle, chief distribution officer, AIG Retirement Services, states that plan sponsors can include the wellness check to help motivate and educate plan participants.
“AIG Retirement Services is committed to making retirement planning easier and accessible for all, and FutureFIT Wellness Check is the latest example of our work to leverage user experience best practices to educate and motivate,” she says.
At the start of the assessment, users answer a few questions about their spending, debt, retirement plan contributions and savings goals. The wellness check will use the responses to create a personalized education program and a plan to act, with resources to help participants reach their goals.
The customized action plans include brief education sessions intended to prompt workers to act and help motivate employees to get more involved with their financial planning. Users can also connect to AIG Retirement Services offerings when using the tool.
“We are always looking for ways to help people feel more confident about their future,” says Isabelle. “It’s Financial Literacy Month, and we are taking advantage of the moment to work with public sector and nonprofit employers across the country to help their employees, no matter where they are in their career or their financial journey.”
