During the three-and-a-half-year study of the Save More Tomorrow program, the article said that employees that were left to their own devices (the control group) saved about 6%. Fine. 6% is the benchmark. So, if the employees enrolled in the program wound up saving 13%, that would be slightly more than double the control group's savings rate. Not triple the rate. Where did the 4% number come from anyway?</p> Sun, 04 May 2008 19:19:59 -0400 Craig Iskowitz 842039 at http://www.fastcompany.com
