You are an entrepreneur. Your business is your baby and you prefer it to be in good health and growing. One vital component of a healthy business is having the right employees on the bus–your bus–and knowing they are happy.
There is a specific tool for entrepreneurs that builds not only employee happiness and loyalty, but helps you and your family personally as well. This tool is a company 401(k) plan. And there is more.
We all know that money talks. Offering impact investments in your 401(k) menu of investments permits you to direct what your money is saying. Why impact? Impact investments may proactively advocate for core business values in the companies in which they invest. They may also avoid the purchase of companies who persist in putting company profits before concerns for our planet, social and governance issues.
