Capture members’ interest with…
Personalized picture of their retirement
The enrolment experience is your first chance to engage plan members and help create on-going, active involvement in the retirement program. A key component of the online enrolment process is Manulife’s award-winning Steps Retirement Program® (Steps). Steps is an interactive online retirement planning resource that helps plan members establish a retirement income goal, create a plan to achieve it, and track their progress. You can view a demonstration of our Steps program at www.manulife.ca/steps.
Effective ongoing member communications
Continuing updates – through the secure website and on each statement – display progress by showing the account balance along with the estimated annual retirement income the member is on track to achieve. Members will receive personalized newsletters that feature articles tailored to the member’s age and savings behaviour, plus updates about service enhancements and legislative changes.
Unique member education initiative
An exclusive alliance with respected financial writer and TV personality Gail Vaz-Oxlade provides Manulife’s Canadian group retirement plan members with insights and suggestions designed to help them manage their personal finances and build an effective retirement plan.
Resources and support for plan sponsors
We offer tailored support options that include a distinct selection of reports, information and expertise. We will assign a specific service team to your plan, with professionals who apply specific areas of expertise to help fulfill your retirement program’s goals and objectives. The secure plan sponsor website gives your plan administrator(s) convenient access to detailed information along with the ability to transact in a password-protected environment. Statements mailed each quarter are accompanied by a sponsor newsletter, highlighting legislative changes and enhancements to services we offer.
Investments – broad choices that suit wide-ranging needs
Manulife’s selection of 90 investment options addresses the varied needs of your plan members, giving them sufficient choice to diversify their portfolios.
