What a strange, unsettling and eventful year it has been! As the year disappears into 20/20 hindsight, I hope that we can look at the lessons that the year has taught us. As a retirement plan professional, we updated our business policies, rethought the traditional office, and embraced new technologies. As we turn the corner and welcome a New Year, here are 8 lessons to reflect on as we close the book on 2020.
