Lockton is thrilled to announce that we have been named a finalist for the prestigious Plan Sponsor of the Year award by PLANSPONSOR, the leading educational and informational resource for U.S. retirement benefit programs.

The Plan Sponsor of the Year annual awards program celebrates retirement plan sponsors who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to their participants' financial health and retirement success.

At Lockton, our caring culture means we are fully invested in the health and wellbeing of our people. We have developed a benefits program that is all about helping our Associates reach their ultimate potential, both at the office and at home.

Our Lockton 401(k) plan is designed to help Associates achieve their investment goals. The plan offers incredible tax advantages and a generous 6% matching contribution by Lockton. Importantly, Associates gain ownership of matching contributions immediately upon earning them – they are 100% vested in their contributions as well as Lockton’s contributions.

Additionally, Lockton is making it easier for Associates to tackle student loans. With our student loan match program, qualified student loan payments count toward Lockton’s 401(k) employer match—up to 6%. Every dollar put toward student debt can also help grow retirement savings at the same time.

Lockton also partners with Creative Planning to provide discounted wealth and management services to our people. Together with a Creative Planning wealth manager, our Associates can create a financial plan and investment portfolio custom-tailored to help them on their path to financial freedom.

Finally, Lockton offers monthly trainings and webinars focused on financial wellness for all Associates. These sessions cover a wide range of topics, from Social Security and retirement to managing a budget and controlling debt, and beyond.

Finalists will be recognized, and winners announced, at the PLANSPONSOR Excellence in Retirement Awards celebration during the PLANSPONSOR National Conference in June.
