The sample included 863 retirement plan sponsors with $1 million to $75 million in assets.
About 29% of the plan sponsors who participated said their employees had no major financial issues not addressed by current benefits offerings, according to MassMutual.
About 79% of the sponsors said workers did have unaddressed needs. Just 4% described lack of insurance or benefits costs as big problems, and about 11% rated medical issues or costs as big problems.
