Winner for Onsite Employee Presentation Announced
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 100 retirement plan sponsors attended MassMutual's Retirement Services Division's first-ever PlanSmartSM online seminar, Who is Gen Y and Why It's Important to Know.
The July 24 live webcast, featuring returning guest speaker Farnoosh Torabi, independent Generation Y money coach, best-selling author and personal finance journalist, reviewed how plan sponsors can best connect with and motivate this younger generation. Specifically, Ms. Torabi reviewed how sponsors can:
- Improve engagement with Gen-Y employees
- Communicate, incentivize, motivate and maximize productivity from Gen-Ys
- Encourage Gen-Ys to save for retirement.
All attendees who completed MassMutual's brief post-event survey had the opportunity to opt-in to a drawing to win a one-hour onsite employee presentation with Ms. Torabi and members of the MassMutual Retirement Education Specialist team. MassMutual is pleased to announce that Allen, Allen, Allen & Allen of Richmond, Va. won the drawing.

Additionally, all attendees completing the survey received a copy of Farnoosh Torabi's book, Psych Yourself Rich.
