Most U.S. human resources professionals are resisting the urge to respond to recent investment volatility by overhauling retirement plan investment choices.
Researchers at the Society for Human Resource Management, Alexandria, Va., have published data supporting that conclusion based on a survey of about 450 HR professionals.
Only 7% of the participants said their companies might consider responding to the crisis by offering employees investment options other than 401(k) plans, and only 6% said they might suspend investments in mutual funds that are deemed risky.
