Where this sits vs national auto-dealer peers.

More participants are actively saving — the participation rate is climbing as employees sign up. 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.

Benchmark Scorecard

Observable, source-backed metrics. No inferred grades or quality scores.

Employer Contribution / Participant
$1,271
vs $852 National Median
Above Median Nationally

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.

Members
Participant Contribution / Participant
$2,772
vs $3,435 National Median
Room to Grow Nationally

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.

Members
Plan Assets / Participant
$17,290
vs $48,309 National Median
Optimization Potential Nationally

How seasoned the workforce is. Below national median can also indicate higher-than-needed employee turnover.

Latest source filing

Total annual employer contribution from the latest DOL filing.

Plan Assets
$2.5M
Latest source filing

The retirement pool employees are building. Larger pools reflect longer-tenured workforces.
