How confident are plan sponsors in their participants’ ability to retire, and how does that compare to how participants feel? In this Connect Conversation, Executive Director Matt Petersen sits down with Jeri Savage of MFS Investment Management to unpack findings from the 2026 MFS DC Plan Sponsor Survey.
They explore trends in retirement confidence, generational differences across the workforce, and the growing disconnect between sponsor and participant perceptions – particularly among Gen X and Baby Boomers. The conversation also highlights the impact of competing financial priorities, the influence of plan design (including DB and DC structures), and what drives higher confidence grades in MFS’s Workplace Retirement Readiness Indicator.
Tune in for actionable insights to help public sector plan sponsors better understand confidence levels within their workforce – and where there may be opportunities to strengthen outcomes.
