Hey @AP! The language used in the VERY FIRST LINE of this article is unnecessarily graphic and gory and more suited to a Netflix special than respectable journalism. Who greenlit this?

In case you're not thoroughly excited to attend this year's @Benefits_PRO Expo, let me remind you about all of the cool guest appearances! See you in Austin! #BPROBrokerExpo event.benefitspro.com/bprobr…
I've been wary of all the news I've seen extolling the benefits of #earnedwageaccess and #payondemand. Are there downsides to these new payroll models that employers haven't considered? benefitspro.com/2022/04/07/e…
Americans' definition of financial success these days... #BPRORetirement @coolest401kguy @Benefits_PRO
I want to see (and play) this video game! #BPRORetirement
Replying to @EsqUche @Benefits_PRO
Retirement is like a game in some ways...pick your character (what kind of saver you want to be), build up skill points (where will you place your spending), and be a high level character by the end (financially stable retirement)! #BPRORetirement
Interesting! #BPRORetirement

Workforce is changing and has different expectations. From an investments standpoint, in the 2021 proxy season, support for shareholder proposals seeking disclosure of corporate diversity data was near-unanimous.
Don't forget the #healthspangap and the increased costs of health care for retirees. benefitspro.com/2021/10/15/w…

Longer lifespans and more complex financial lives continue to increase demand for holistic #wealthmanagement and advice. #financialplanning #retirementplanning #BPRORetirement
Does Reddit count as a #virtualadvisor? Because it seems a lot of the younger generations are turning to social sites for their investment strategies. #BPRORetirement
Replying to @Benefits_PRO
Continuation of the "virtual Advisor" The average age of the Advisor continues to rise; consolidation in all aspects of the #401k industry #BPRORetirement
Great point! How are firms responding to the demand and changing their hiring practices? #BPRORetirement
Replying to @Benefits_PRO
The workforce is becoming increasingly diverse, and recent studies make it clear that Black and LatinX participants would prefer to speak to advisors that share their backgrounds. #DEI #BPRORetirement
Are the chaotic markets causing some retirees or near-retirees to rethink their timelines? #BPRORetirement
Replying to @Benefits_PRO
With #thegreatresignation underway, #retirement plans & #employers need to help ensure those leaving are prepared- pre or near-retirement programs etc #BPRORetirement
This is definitely one we've been hearing about a lot lately!
Replying to @Benefits_PRO
Plan sponsor turnover! Great resignation is leaving plan advisors to train constantly changing HR staff and new plan fiduciaries. Turnover also means new participants for advisors that host enrollment meetings. #GreatResignation #BPRORetirement
What #financialissues will be top-of-mind in 2022? #BPRORetirement
Here's our first question of the chat.

Replying to @Benefits_PRO
Right now, focus on offering the right mix of benefits to promote overall employee #wellbeing and stay close to your employees and their evolving needs. Continuously monitor utilization, run surveys and focus groups, and adapt your strategy accordingly. #BPROOpenEnrollment

Q7: What can employers do now, or do differently in the coming year, to set the stage for a better enrollment next year?
#BPROOpenEnrollment
I think removing the physical separation between work and home really opened employees' eyes to how all intertwined all the aspects of their life are! #BPROOpenEnrollment
Replying to @Benefits_PRO
Employees are more interested in holistic wellbeing now more than ever. Physical, emotional, social and financial wellbeing are the needs of employees today. These needs have transferred to employers having to be able to be fluid with benefits that support these needs.

Q6: How has the transition to hybrid work, and/or the delay in returning to the office, affected employees’ interest in benefits?
#BPROOpenEnrollment
One thing we've been hearing a lot... how employers responded to the pandemic and communicated with employees has had a major impact on employees' willingness to continue working at a company. No doubt this will continue being a major factor! #BPROOpenEnrollment
Q5: How has employers’ receptiveness and willingness to try out new benefits and health care strategies been affected?
