On this episode of PULSE, we dive into the game-changing legislation that is the SECURE Act 2.0. Compliance Risk Manager Zachary Keep shares many of the groundbreaking provisions included in SECURE 2.0 and their potential impact on employers, employees, and HR professionals. With tax credits, automatic enrollment, student loan matching, and other sweeping changes, SECURE is set to redefine the retirement landscape for years to come. HR professionals will have a lot to consider when it comes to this new legislation, but the good news is that the SECURE can also help attract and retain your workforce, as it makes participating in 401(k) plans easier than ever, incentivizes contributions, and even offers financial benefits for those struggling with student loan debt.
