The past year has been like none other and for many, moving forward sounds a lot easier said than done. We know the precautions to take to be as physically healthy as possible; continue to wash our hands, wear masks when appropriate (or mandated), physically distance when necessary. AND an important component of healing from the challenges of the past year is ensuring our mental health is just as healthy as our physical. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to mental health; by design, it is specifically tailored to each individual.


May is Mental Health Awareness month and this year, the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) is continuing to amplify the message of “You Are Not Alone.” If you, your employees or loved ones are struggling, you are not alone! NAMI, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization has many free programs and services near you. Visit www.nami.org to learn more. Additionally, we have an Employee Assistance program available free to all employees! Your mental health is important to all of us at RRI West and your supervisor, leadership team and human resources are all available for support as well.

Updating your beneficiaries is vitally important but may be something you don’t think about very often. The good news is that naming a beneficiary or even several beneficiaries is easy. Keeping this information updated can be extremely helpful in the case of an emergency or unexpected loss. To do so, just follow these simple steps below:


To change your beneficiary:

  1. Create a contact and designate them as your beneficiary

    1. Log into UKG Pro >> Menu > Myself > Contacts > Add

    2. Enter as much information about your beneficiary as you can provide. At a minimum, we recommend entering their name, address, telephone number, address, and email. You will also need to state your relationship to the beneficiary and designate them as such (they can also be designated as an emergency contact and/or dependent).

    3. Click SAVE

  2. Add the beneficiary to your life insurance plans

    1. UKG Pro Steps: Menu > Myself > Life Events > I need to update my beneficiary

    2. Complete the workflow to change your beneficiary. This must be approved by the benefits department before it is reflected within the system. You can reach Joy Bland, Benefits Manager at joy.bland@whg.com.

    3. CAUTION: This life event only updates the beneficiary on your company-paid life insurance and voluntary life insurance products. If you have a 401(k) with RRI West Management, you must log into Principal’s website to update your beneficiary.

  3. Add the beneficiary to your 401k

    1. UKG Pro Steps: None—You must login your 401k account at https://www.principal.com/

    2. Login > Personal

      1. If you do not have an account, you can create one via the link on the login page

      2. If you have forgotten your login credentials, follow the links on the login page for assistance.

    3. Beneficiaries can be updated by clicking on the overview drop-down, and clicking on beneficiaries


Keep in Mind:

  • Steps 1 and 2 must be completed to ensure that your beneficiaries are named and tied to your life insurance.

  • If you are married, your spouse is your beneficiary by default. If wish to name anyone other than your spouse as a beneficiary, you must follow the above process.

  • If you are not married and do not have a beneficiary listed, life insurance/401k will be released to your estate during probate.

Next time you log into UltiPro – it’s always a good time to check all of your HR data and make sure everything is up to date! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your HR team for assistance!
