For years, defined contribution (DC) plan success was measured by participation rates. Then savings rates were introduced as a metric. Most recently, measuring plan participant outcomes, or retirement readiness, has been stressed as an important success metric. All these things and other factors contribute to the success of a DC plan.

Metrics plan sponsors should use to gauge the success of their DC plans;
Ways to measure participant outcomes, or retirement readiness; and
