Non-Qualified Deferred Savings Plan financial
"acquired pursuant to the Willis Towers Watson Non-Qualified Deferred Savings Plan for U.S. Employees"
deferral election financial
"including the participant's deferral election under the Plan and the Company's matching contribution"
matching contribution financial
"the Company's matching contribution on the participant's deferral election credited to the participant's account"
An employer’s matching contribution is when a company adds money to an employee’s retirement or savings account based on the employee’s own contributions, like a store offering to top up a customer’s purchase to reach a discount threshold. It matters to investors because matching increases a firm’s compensation costs and can improve staff retention and morale, which affect productivity, cash flow and long-term liabilities that influence a company’s financial outlook.
