Voya Learn - October - How retirement ready are you?

Portland City employees can participate in free webinars this October as part of National Retirement Security Month, focusing on retirement planning. Sponsored by Voya, the sessions will address critical topics such as the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), social security, and strategies for maximizing deferred compensation plans. The first webinar, "Retirement Ready," is set for October 9, 2025, while the second session will take place on October 14, 2025, covering OPSRP and PERS benefits in detail. The city encourages employees to assess their retirement plans, whether their retirement is imminent or several decades away. In addition to the webinars, employees can arrange one-on-one appointments with Voya financial advisors for tailored advice.

This initiative aims to improve retirement preparedness among city employees and increase awareness about financial planning. The city emphasizes the importance of retirement planning for all employees, regardless of their current retirement timeline. Overall, these efforts reflect the city's commitment to supporting its workforce in achieving financial security.
