How October Three Empowered Client Growth with Innovative Retirement Solutions

In this case study, we break down how October Three transformed its benefits plan to deliver lifetime income, reward loyalty, and future-proof employee retirement security.

Situation

As a firm specializing in innovative retirement design, October Three knew its own employee benefits needed to reflect the cutting-edge solutions it delivers to clients. To stay competitive in a tight talent market, the company sought to go beyond the traditional 401(k) match by offering a retirement program that met diverse employee needs and rewarded long-term commitment.

Approach

To meet these goals, October Three implemented a market-based cash balance plan, providing employees with the security of lifetime income. To further reinforce loyalty, the firm introduced subsidized benefits specifically tailored to recognize long-tenured employees and their contributions.

In line with its forward-thinking approach, October Three also developed a future-state plan to incorporate a retiree healthcare account, ensuring the retirement program evolves alongside the company’s growth and workforce needs.

Results

The result is a modern, flexible retirement package that:

  • Enhances recruiting and retention by offering more than a standard 401(k)

  • Recognizes employee loyalty through tenure-based benefits

  • Supports long-term financial security with lifetime income options

  • Anticipates future needs with retiree healthcare planning

Employees responded positively, citing appreciation for both the financial flexibility and the recognition of long careers. With this redesigned plan, October Three meets its people’s expectations and sets a new standard for retirement benefit design.
