Sendik's Food Market, with $20 million in retirement assets covering 950 participants, transitioned on July 10, 2019.
'Local 22 is a great addition to our Taft-Hartley book of business,' Scott Gaul, senior vice president and head of sales and strategic relationships, Prudential Retirement, said. 'And the fact that Sendik's - a homegrown family-owned business - chose us for our financial wellness approach is validation of the demand for solutions to help employees meet their financial goals. Both client wins are a testament to the level of service and experience our clients have come to expect.'
For Local 22, it was Prudential's pricing, experience managing Taft-Hartley plans and its sales team that influenced their selection.
'We're committed to helping our members achieve a secure retirement and confident that Prudential's understanding of the unique needs of our members will allow us to advance that goal,' said Debra Korpolinski, funds director at UA Local 22 Plumbers and Steamfitters Benefit Funds.
Sendik's Food Market was excited about Prudential's approach to participant education and financial wellness. They also valued Prudential's hands-on approach to client service and is using this change as an opportunity to create excitement about the workplace benefits offered to their employees. McKenzie Johnson, senior consultant, retirement services at Lockton Financial Advisors LLC, is the advisor of Sendik's Food Market.
'Financial wellness is a strong area of focus for us, just as it is for Prudential. So it was important for us to partner with a provider who could deliver value on that front,' said Mike Baierl, benefits and compensation manager at Sendik's Food Market.
