Invest in Your Employees with a Group Savings Plan. Group Savings Small and medium sized companies are rarely able to match the sophisticated benefit plans offered by large organizations. However, one benefit you can add quite easily is a Group Registered Retirement Savings plan (Group RRSP). A Group RRSP is simpler and less regulated than a traditional pension plan. This makes it easier than a Pension Plan to suspend or wind down should unforeseen cash flow problems occur in the future. Group RRSP’s are also an excellent option for small companies, as you only need a couple of people to get one started. These Savings plan form a good foundation for your retirement savings but often need to be supplemented to obtain retirement goals.
