Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Doug Dahl authored an article discussing the various ways in which employers seek to decrease risk associated with defined benefit pension plans and what HR and benefit professionals should know about the process. As Doug points out in the article, once an employer decides to engage in a de-risking strategy, HR and benefit professionals who understand de-risking and the importance of communication throughout will be in a good position to help their employers navigate the process.

The full article, “Pension De-Risking: What is It and Why is It So Popular?,” was published in the April 2017 issue of HR Professionals.
