What does 2026 have in store for HR leaders? With student debt stress rising, wage garnishment returning soon, and new policy changes introduced through the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), employers are facing increased pressure to protect employees — while also managing compliance risk and operational complexity.

In this session, we'll:

  • Unpack how recent and emerging policy shifts are impacting HR teams, payroll operations, and the employee experience—and what that means for benefits and financial wellness strategy moving forward
  • Share how forward-thinking employers are using modern benefits solutions to reduce administrative burden, proactively support employees at risk of delinquency or garnishment, and stay ahead of evolving expectations

You'll walk away with a clear understanding of what's changing, why it matters now, and the practical steps you can take this quarter to modernize your financial wellness strategy while remaining compliant, cost-effective, and competitive.
