The CSS Pension Plan surveyed employer members of the Plan between November 28, 2024 to January 31, 2025. During that timeframe, we received 80 total responses from participating CSS employers. The survey aimed to collect responses from senior leaders who oversee their organization's membership in the CSS Pension Plan. Employer responses show strong levels of familiarity with the CSS Pension Plan and strength in our reputation.
The top two reasons why employers offer the CSS Pension Plan as part of their total rewards packages is to help their employees achieve financial security in retirement and to be competitive in attracting and retaining talent - these reasons align with the CSS Pension Plan's overall purpose.
Employers highly value the Plan's in-house retirement income options, complimentary advisory services for their employees and status as a low-cost provider. Results also show that employers still prefer to use digital communications methods when interacting with CSS and administering benefits to their employees, with the preferred methods being the website/myCSSPEN for employers and email communications.
