Employers and employees are looking for ways to capitalize on the long-term savings opportunity and tax advantages of health savings accounts (HSAs), considering HSAs as both a health benefit and a retirement benefit. This more comprehensive approach to HSAs has many implications for employers as they determine how to administer these programs and guide participants in their usage. This session will provide employers and advisers with guidance on how HSAs differ from traditional retirement vehicles when it comes to administrative oversight, contribution structures, investment plan design and the participant experience.

Employee Education, Financial Wellness and HSAs: One of the largest challenges for participant engagement with HSAs is how they fit into an employee’s broader financial picture.
