"Voya's dedication to helping our workforce become retirement ready is the foundation of our successful partnership, and has led to a participation rate of 92%. We look forward to continuing this relationship as we work together to help our employees achieve their retirement goals."
In support of its commitment to helping all Americans become ready for retirement, Voya will continue to provide Nestlé USA and its employees with industry-leading decision and planning tools, as well as award-winning plan participant communication and financial education programs that inform, engage and encourage positive action.

Voya will continue to support portions of Nestlé USA's Stable Value component within the Conservative Income portfolio plan investment option.
