KOS Implements New Company Policy

KOS has developed a Personnel Committee whose primary goal is to discuss personnel-related issues, policies and procedures and other performance and talent management issues with the goal of making KOS the best possible workplace.

First order of business has been to recognize changing workplace trends in the industry and create a more comfortable and enjoyable workplace. All employees working in the office and not meeting with clients will be able to wear jeans Monday through Friday..

“Our philosophy has always been on delivering the best client experience and we want our professionals to always remain dynamic and engaged,” states Managing Partner Jeff Arnol. “We recognize that workplace trends are changing and we want to make sure our employees understand that we are staying current on these developments,” Human Resource Director Julie Jesso adds, “The new policy has already been put into effect and well received.”

Is Retirement Confidence Lagging?

How confident are you that you have saved enough for retirement? The Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI), an independent research firm, recently released the results of its 24th annual Retirement Confidence Survey. According to EBRI, only 18% of the current workers it interviewed were “very confident” they would have enough money to live on comfortably in retirement, while 24% were “not at all confident.” These numbers show only a slight improvement from the prior year and are significantly lower than the years before 2008.
