National 401(k) Day, observed each year on the first Friday after Labor Day, promotes retirement planning awareness and encourage employees to review their savings strategy, better understand their 401(k) plan, and make adjustments that support their long-term retirement goals.

To support National 401(k) Day communications, Alerus has developed this toolkit for plan sponsors. It includes ready-to-use employee communications, educational materials, and retirement planning resources designed to help employees better understand their 401(k) plan and build a more secure financial future.
