“Choice without guidance leads to an overwhelming amount of complexity... Just as there is an unfair responsibility placed on the shoulders of individuals to answer financial questions, by extension there is an unfair responsibility put on the shoulders of people teams, HR leaders and managers, and employers because they are the primary sources of wealth creation and benefits. It’s really important that their financial wellness program not just supports the employee, but also the employer.” - Northstar CEO and Co-Founder William Peng at the HR Technology Conference & Exposition #HRTechConf Read the coverage from BenefitsPRO: https://lnkd.in/eQcJCsUv

The high deductible heath plan (HDHP) can be a great health plan for some people, but it’s important to look beyond the monthly premiums and deductible to decide if it’s right for you. As open enrollment approaches, make sure you understand the different health care needs that are best supported by this plan, and how the Health Savings Account you get access to works. https://hubs.ly/Q021S6nT0 #openenrollment #employeebenefits

It’s common for employees to have questions during open enrollment, but it's unrealistic to expect People and HR teams to field them all. By incorporating financial wellness into your benefits offerings, you can provide 1-on-1 support from a financial advisor who has experience providing guidance on these very topics. https://hubs.ly/Q021S5TM0 #openenrollment #employeebenefits #financialwellness

Money is a topic many people aren't comfortable talking about—especially with their coworkers. Financial stress tends to go unnoticed at work as a result, but it can affect employees more than we realize when it comes to mental health and how we perform at work. By providing financial wellness programs and education, employers can support their team without having to understand the complexity of their employees’ financial situations. #stressmanagement #financialwellness #financialeducation

The cost of goods has continued to rise and many people have gone through difficult layoffs or pay cuts as employers face financial challenges.

Employee benefits can be complex, so it’s helpful to have someone experienced that can explain how different benefits can support employees’ needs. That’s why Northstar’s financial advisors (CFP®) are trained on the details of our clients’ benefits, so they can provide personalized support to each employee they work with. This can benefit people teams during open enrollment by helping take the stress out of answering benefits questions. #openenrollment #employeeonboarding #employeebenefits

There can be a lot of confusion surrounding whether companies should elect to be self-funded vs. fully insured when it comes to their health plans. Amanda Peppers, of Northstar’s Consultant Relations team, outlines the risks and benefits of each model to help HR and Benefits leaders navigate how to support their employees’ healthcare costs. https://lnkd.in/eduxdCFB #employeebenefits #healthcare #financialwellness

”We work for many reasons — to solve challenging problems, for intellectual growth, to build mastery, to contribute to causes we care about, to learn alongside smart people. But money is one of the biggest reasons people join or quit a job. The money we earn is essential to cover our cost of living, support our families, manage our health, gain new experiences, and build our wealth.” Northstar CEO William Peng shares why it’s important for companies to provide holistic support to its employees. By helping employees get what they need out of their paycheck and benefits, we can make them feel taken care of and improve their likelihood of staying in their role. https://lnkd.in/eYV6bM7i #financialwellness #worklifebalance #wellbeing
