FF5 #101 - ERISA Fiduciary Training

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the challenges of ERISA fiduciary training, emphasizing the need for meaningful education that moves beyond simple "box-checking" exercises. He highlights the Behavioral Governance Institute’s innovative approach to learning, which utilizes a Special Purpose Avatar (SPA) to facilitate interactive, high-retention training.Eric describes a specific scenario in which he used the avatar to assess and sharpen his expertise regarding 408(b)(2) disclosures, benchmarking, and RFPs. By providing scenario-based quizzes and real-time feedback, the avatar ensures a practical, hands-on understanding of complex regulations. Eric encourages service providers and plan committee members to adopt these modernized training methods to better fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary, and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.The opinions expressed by guests on the Be More Than a Fiduciary podcast are not necessarily the same as the opinions held by 90 North Consulting, or of Executive Director Eric Dyson.
