Session Summary

There are many ways for employers to increase their bottom line—especially by empowering their employees! In this presentation, we will consider less common options and solutions for employers to discuss with their financial advisors. Evaluating and merging solutions to best fit your business needs will optimize your business, improve employee retention, and help the community.

This is the final session in a three-part series that will focus on HRAs, Archer MSAs, Medicare Advantage savings plans, and other health savings plans. Our first two sessions covered FSA and HSA plans. You can watch those here.

This lunchtime workshop is designed for both professionals and the public. This series has been designed to assist both the layperson in understanding their options, as well as provide professionals with more information when advising their clients.
