In this episode of the Perspectives podcast, sponsored by WEX Health and hosted on BenefitsPRO.com, we'll hear highlights from the March 10th presentation titled, HSAs and Why You Should Change the Retirement Strategy Story. 

Many Americans continue to invest and prepare for retirement the same way they did decades ago. However, in today's economy that may not be enough to pay for healthcare costs alone for people over the age of 65. Fortunately, there is a way you can help employees build wealth and properly prepare for retirement, and it's something you may already be offering: the HSA. It can actually be a better retirement-planning tool than a 401(k) or IRA.

Speakers from WEX Health — Jeff Bakke, Chief Strategy Officer; Chris Byrd, Executive Vice President of Operation; and Jason Cook, Vice President of Healthcare Emerging Markets — uncover how to position HSAs differently, rewrite the HSA story to help employees look ahead with confidence, and get the information you need to improve employees' bottom line.
