MassMutual Retirement Services Extends Call Center Hours

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MassMutual's Retirement Services Division has extended its weekday call center hours to be more accessible to participants when it's convenient for them. As of Jan. 1, 2014, MassMutual's participant information call center has remained open one hour later in the evening, with highly trained customer service representatives available from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST.

The expansion comes on the heels of the July 2013 opening of the firm's newest office in Phoenix, Ariz. "Our strong presence in Phoenix allows us to further geographically diversify our business and best meet the needs of our West Coast participants. With customers across every time zone in America, we are committed to being there for them wherever they live," says Michael McKenzie, senior vice president of operations for MassMutual's Retirement Services Division.

"Millions of callers annually rely on MassMutual's award-winning call center to serve their retirement needs," says Elaine Sarsynski, executive vice president of MassMutual's Retirement Services Division and chairman of MassMutual International LLC. "We are excited to offer expanded hours so we can be more accessible to our clients when it's convenient for them. This change reaffirms our commitment to providing our valued clients with world-class customer service," adds Sarsynski.

MassMutual's Retirement Services call center is staffed with professionals who are trained to assist individuals in managing a vast array of retirement education and saving needs, from questions about available investment options to taking full advantage of matching contributions. Call center associates also offer "roll-in" service so customers can consolidate savings from other qualifying retirement accounts to achieve a more holistic picture of their overall retirement savings.
