Principal Financial Best Practices Guide for Employee Financial Security Now Available

NCEO founder and senior staff member

Principal Financial has produced a very useful booklet reviewing some of the best ideas of the 10 winners of the 2010 Principal Financial Ten Best Small and Mid-Sized Companies for Employee Financial Security. ESOP companies Clif Bar and RLI were winners this year. The awards focus on corporate health care, wellness, retirement, and insurance programs. The report is available at this link (PDF format); it also contains information for how to apply for the 2011 awards.

I have been one of the judges for several years and can confirm the process is a rigorous one but also one that provides applicants with a lot of good feedback.
