MOSERS' HR Update
Human Resource Information from the Missouri State Employees' Retirement System

April 14, 2008
Volume 2, No. 60


Coming Soon to a Computer Near You: MOSERS Web Videos!
MOSERS is excited to announce a new and faster way to convey information to our members about their benefits and our retirement plan.
Coming in April, our website will offer educational videos that employees can watch from any computer, at any time. The first videos will feature information that will be useful to new members, or those with just a few years of service with the state. The topics include:
  • Your Retirement Benefit
    (MSEP 2000 members)

  • Defined Benefit Plan Basics

  • Life Insurance
Look for more videos in the future on other topics and for other audiences. They are convenient to watch, even if you don’t have a lot of time to spare, because they are only a few minutes long and cover general information on each topic. Encourage your employees to bookmark www.mosers.org, look for a topic that they would like to know more about, then sit back, relax and learn!

MOSERS Named 2008 Public Plan Sponsor of the Year
PLANSPONSOR magazine recently named MOSERS the 2008 Plan Sponsor of the Year in the Public Sector/Defined Benefit Category. MOSERS was cited for its noteworthy governance standards, its well-designed operational structure, and for consistently producing stellar investment results. In a press release issued February 8, Governor Matt Blunt congratulated MOSERS, saying, "State employees can be proud of this rare honor that signifies they are being offered the highest quality retirement benefits."





Save the Date
The Date for the 2008 HR Conference is set. Please make sure to mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 9, 2008. The HR Conference is a must for all HR and payroll professionals, whether you're new or experienced. The conference will once again be held at the Country Club Hotel, Lake Ozark.





Building a Better Website Survey Still Available
