A 401(k) is an employer-sponsored retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for retirement through automatic payroll deductions. Contributions are invested in a selection of investment options, such as mutual funds, stocks, and bonds, helping employees grow their retirement savings over time.

Many employers also offer matching contributions, meaning they contribute additional money to an employee's account based on the employee's contributions. This makes a 401(k) one of the most effective ways to build long-term retirement savings while taking advantage of valuable tax benefits.

A 401(k) can be an excellent option for businesses that want to provide a competitive retirement benefit while helping employees prepare for the future. It is often a strong fit for growing businesses that want flexibility in plan design, contribution options, and employee participation.

Employees who want to save consistently for retirement and take advantage of employer matching contributions can also benefit significantly from a 401(k). For many individuals, a 401(k) serves as the foundation of their retirement savings strategy because of its convenience, tax advantages, and long-term growth potential.
