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 https://t.co/tizTSB6Qg6

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

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? https://t.co/crZvYZLYw2

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

@Benefits_PRO @EsqUche @TheRudinGroup @the401ksg @btreichelesq Great insights today! #BPRORetirement

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

@TheRudinGroup @EsqUche @Benefits_PRO Maybe we can recruit Marie Kondo to apply her #decluttering know-how to #decumulation? #BPRORetirement

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

@coolest401kguy @Benefits_PRO When thinking about retirement, more people--especially Gen Z--are thinking just as much about what kind of world they'll be retiring into as how much money they'll have. #BRPORetirement

Americans' definition of financial success these days... #BPRORetirement @coolest401kguy @Benefits_PRO

I want to see (and play) this video game! #BPRORetirement

[Andrew Meadows @coolest401kguy]

@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

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

Interesting! #BPRORetirement

[Uche Enemchukwu, JD, LLM @EsqUche]

@Benefits_PRO 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.

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

Don't forget the #healthspangap and the increased costs of health care for retirees. https://t.co/V3jt3qndVs

@Benefits_PRO 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

[Chuck Hammond @the401ksg]

@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

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

Great point! How are firms responding to the demand and changing their hiring practices? #BPRORetirement

[Uche Enemchukwu, JD, LLM @EsqUche]

@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

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

Are the chaotic markets causing some retirees or near-retirees to rethink their timelines? #BPRORetirement

[🛫 April Rudin 🌏 @TheRudinGroup]

@Benefits_PRO With #thegreatresignation underway, #retirement plans & #employers need to help ensure those leaving are prepared- pre or near-retirement programs etc #BPRORetirement

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

This is definitely one we've been hearing about a lot lately!

[Bonnie Treichel @btreichelesq]

@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

[Emily Payne @EmPayneTM]

[BenefitsPRO @Benefits_PRO]
