WHAT IS THE "ACTIVE PARTICIPATION CAMPAIGN"?
The Active Participation Campaign will run from April 1st to September 30th (2025) and is an effort to strengthen the partnership between the Bureau of Deferred Compensation and Participating Government Employers.
Each month, during the Campaign, Government Employers will receive an email from the Bureau to assist in supporting employee educational efforts. If you want to participate in the Campaign, please fill out the Employer Mailing List Form*.
* If you've already signed up for the Employer Mailing List in the past, no action is necessary, and you will receive the campaign emails.
GOVERMENT EMPLOYER ACTION STEPS
- Set agency goals to increase participation. Aim for 5 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent.
- Determine ways to recognize or incentivize employees who take the time to learn more about their retirement benefits including the Deferred Compensation Plan. Consider providing a certificate, authorizing casual dress days, or handing out agency swag.
- Share the link to our website: MyFloridaDeferredComp.com. The Bureau is happy to review website and publication content about the Florida Deferred Compensation Plan should you want to add information directly to your published content.
- Share and use one (or more) of the Retirement Tools on our Investment Providers’ websites:
- The Corebridge Financial Wellness Check offers a few quick questions and provides a personalized action plan aligned with unique financial wellness needs.
- Nationwide has a Peer Comparison Tool that enables employees to see how much people like them are contributing and saving for retirement, and how their progress stacks up against peers.
- Learn what type of investment portfolio may "best" match certain investment personalities with Voya’s Investor Type Tool.
- Talk about retirement readiness. Have one-on-one conversations with your employees. Employees are more likely to engage when you are engaged.
- Evaluate your agency's goals to increase participation: Are you on target to increase employee participation in the Florida Deferred Compensation Plan?
- Know the Investment Provider's Representatives in your area, and allow them to schedule a site visit at your agency for one-on-one appointments with employees (NOTE: Only the listed representatives are authorized to speak to employees about their Florida Deferred Compensation Plan account).
- Direct employees to the Investment Providers' websites (Corebridge, Nationwide, and Voya), and promote their monthly calendar of Events.
- Schedule an Educational Workshop for your employees with the Bureau of Deferred Compensation from the Employer Resource page. Educational workshops are tailored to fit the needs of your employees. Workshops can be virtual or in-person and are provided at no cost (based on availability).
- Attend our Fall Employer Training Workshop session, scheduled for September 2, 2025. This is a great opportunity to connect with the Bureau and stay informed. This event is offered twice annually, in-person and virtually. For more information and to register click here.
- Consider hosting an agency-wide Benefit Fair for your employees during Open Enrollment 2025. Already hosting a fair? We are looking for opportunities! (Limited dates available; submit your requests early by emailing DefCompMarketing@MyFloridaCFO.com).
