National Retirement Security Week (NRSW) is a week reserved to educate workers about the importance of saving for retirement and how saving for retirement is key to financial health and security during retirement years. NRSW is also meant to increase awareness of the various options in saving for retirement and is designed for plan sponsors to see an increase in retirement plan participation.
