Your Empower retirement counselors are now available to conduct telephone consultations instead of face-to-face meetings to further safeguard against COVID-19. Telephone consultations and virtual one-on-one meetings, new hire orientations and group sessions are a great way to review your account and retirement goals with a Empower retirement counselor who can answer your savings questions. You can schedule an appointment when it works for you, and then attend from wherever you are. All you need is a phone and an internet-connected computer to access your private, secure online meeting room.
