USG Corporation (NYSE:USG), a leading building materials manufacturer, has selected Fidelity Investments to serve as the company’s 401(k) plan administrator. The relationship began in the fourth quarter of 2014 and has assets under administration of approximately $745 million.

“When we were evaluating potential plan administrators, one of the many things that stood out about Fidelity is their commitment to meet the plan participant wherever they want to do business – online, on the phone or even in person,” said Chris Rosenthal, vice president, Compensation, Benefits & Corporate Services, USG Corporation. “We were impressed with how their guidance team transforms retirement education into a thoughtful and actionable savings experience, all of which help reinforce our commitment to offering an outstanding benefits package to our employees.”

“Fidelity strives to provide service that far exceeds expectations for both employer benefits teams and their employees,” said Steve Patterson, executive vice president, Sales, Workplace Investing, Fidelity Investments. “That goal extends from how we service the plan with its seamless execution and accurate recordkeeping, to the personalized engagements we have with participants every day.”

Experienced Guidance Leads to Confident Participants

When USG employees call Fidelity, they speak with representatives who are dedicated to supporting the unique needs of workplace participants. That experience means questions are quickly resolved, and because representatives have a comprehensive view into USG’s retirement plan, the conversation is tailored and focused to ensure participants are making the most of their 401(k) plan. Conversations always use straightforward language to help people feel more confident they’re on the road to a better retirement savings outcome.

When workplace participants call a representative, Fidelity data shows 47 percent take at least one positive action within 90 days, such as changing their asset allocation or increasing their contribution1.

Education and Insight: Anywhere, Anytime

In addition to phone support, Fidelity’s educational help is made available over the Web, on smartphones and on tablets, plus at workshops and through videos. Each option offers USG participants a consistent experience at work, at home or on the go. They may also receive support in person from Fidelity’s network of more than 180 investor centers, including six in Greater Chicago, headquarters of USG.
