Review your retirement investments

Your investment needs change over time. It’s a good idea to make sure your 401(k) asset mix is on track to provide income in retirement. Expert resources and online tools from Vanguard can help.

Now is also a good time to review your contributions to the 401(k) plan and increase them if you can. Vanguard has an automatic increase feature that allows you to increase your contribution from 1% - 3% on an annual basis.

Put company stock to work for you

By enrolling in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), you have the opportunity to buy shares at a 15% discount and sell them later to help fund your retirement. Dividends on the shares are paid twice each year and can also be reinvested at a discount. Purchasing company stock is a great way for you to share in the growth of the company.

To best support your child’s educational future, start saving for college now. Tuition and expenses can be significant and continue to increase each year. Use the resources available through Bright Horizon’s College Coach, a part of the Bright Horizons Care Advantage Program®, to estimate your total costs, determine how much you need to save, and form a plan to get there.

Manage student loans

Are you feeling the burden of student loan debt? There are repayment options available to you through the Student Loan Repayment Program. Through this valuable program administered by Tuition.io, the Company will make payments toward the principal portion of your or your child’s student loans, if the loan is in your name.

Protect your family with a will

A carefully prepared and up-to-date will is an important way to ensure your loved ones will benefit from your assets in the way you intend. If you’re enrolled in Hyatt Legal Plans, you’ve got coverage for the cost of a variety of common legal services, such as will preparation.

Secure your family’s finances

Your disability or death could present a significant financial hardship for your family. All employees receive company-paid basic life coverage and most receive basic AD&D, which provide valuable protection. But you may want to expand this coverage with optional life and AD&D insurance so your family will have the protection they need if the unexpected happens.
