Executive Benefit Services

Offering thoughtful strategies to help you recruit, retain, and reward your top talent.

DEFINED BENEFIT     DEFINED CONTRIBUTION     OVERVIEW

Your most VALUABLE resource is your people and, among them, the most strategic, the most CRUCIAL to retain, and the hardest to replace are your executives.

Executive Benefits

Significant risk may hide in your executives’ benefits plans:

  • Standard group coverage for long-term disability often won’t replace bonus income which makes up a significant portion of executive compensation.
  • Standard group coverage for life insurance is also based on salary, not bonus, and often has a cap of $500,000.
  • A target retirement income replacement rate of 85% can’t be reached for many executives based on contribution limits.

Insights

IRS Tightens NQDC Plan Scrutiny

Despite the relatively informal regulation of nonqualified plans, plan design and administration missteps can have enormous consequences.

Personalized Participant Communication and Education

Executive benefits are no longer just for the C Suite.  More and more, critical employees can be found throughout the organization.  These well-compensated executives not only face the greatest risks of benefits coverage gaps, but their supplementary benefits can also be the most difficult to explain.

Lockton Advisors have decades of experience working with senior executives in group and one-on-one settings.  Let us explain your programs with terms your leaders will understand and in the fast paced manner they will appreciate.  And, because nonqualified plans can be so individually tailored, we take the time to help your senior executives understand, on a case-by-case basis, the importance of all that your organization has to offer them.
