主要金融集团® has announced an expansion of its suite of retirement solutions for Hispanic workers by adding a Spanish-language option to its mobile retirement app. This enhancement is designed to help increase retirement savings and management access to the hundreds of thousands of Hispanic workers Principal® serves as many face a retirement savings gap made worse by the pandemic.¹

“Cultural and language barriers can often limit the impact and scope of workplace retirement plans, particularly during times of economic uncertainty,” said Joleen Workman, vice president of customer care, Retirement and Income Solutions at Principal. “By adding a full-service Spanish-language retirement mobile app to our solutions for Hispanic workers we hope to help even more people feel secure and confident in their retirement planning.”

校长将西班牙语移动应用程序带给参与者，而移动储蓄和计划的移动使用大幅增加。2019年，约有22％的参与者通过移动设备使用了退休应用程序，今年，该速度跃升至移动设备上的37％的参与者，而不是台式机。²

Research also shows that access to employer-sponsored retirement plans for Hispanic workers is lower when compared to other groups: 48% of Hispanic workers with fulltime jobs don’t have access to plans as compared to 24% for other fulltime workers.3 The Principal® app’s bilingual capability can help assure employers that they can reach more Hispanic workers. The app provides the appropriate language in Spanish or English based on a user’s phone language setting, allowing Spanish-speaking users to:

• 检查退休帐户余额
• Make contribution decisions
• 监控他们的退休进度
• Get immediate assistance from bilingual customer support

西班牙语应用程序可供所有主要客户使用，并增加了公司的Principal® Hola Futuro, a free educational and financial wellness resource for the Hispanic community. It will also be an immediate resource for Spanish-speaking workers who onboard withprincipal®真正的开始enespañol, a bilingual digital enrollment platform.

Beyond language

The advancement of the mobile app is part of the Principal approach of building customer experiences that go beyond just language. The company has a bicultural approach that doesn’t just translate for Spanish-speaking audiences, but takes cultural influences into account to accurately express meaning and purpose.

Principal Hola Futuro (“Hello Future”) is an accessible, culturally-appropriate resource providing employees with financial wellness videos, worksheets, FAQs, and access to a bicultural support team. In addition, Principal Real Start en Español is a personalized retirement plan onboarding experience available in Spanish and English. Since 2019, Real Start has led to an average savings deferral rate of 8% among Hispanic participants.

Workman说：“为了使所有人都能获得财务安全，我们正在寻找以有影响力的方式吸引更多人和企业的方法。”“这个移动退休储蓄平台是该工作的重要一步。”
