Employer Percentile
—
Where this sits vs national auto-dealer peers.

The participation rate is holding steady — no clear sign-up or opt-out swing over the period. Employer contribution per participant is at or above the median, confirming the engagement. A separate workforce-retention watch flags a sustained decline in active savers — participation strength is not the same as headcount stability.

Contribute plan data

The lagging confirmation of plan health. Below median signals under-investment in workforce retention — the dollar has yet to follow the leading active-saver signal.

Participant Contribution / Participant

—
Contribute plan data

The leading signal of plan engagement. A rising trajectory precedes the lagging employer-contribution dollar; below median can signal gaps in auto-enrollment or plan design.
