HSA Day will help HR teams further educate employees about health savings accounts

WEX (NYSE: WEX), a leading financial technology service provider, today announced its plans for its third annual National Health Savings Account Awareness Day 2021, also known as HSA Day, on October 15, 2021.

HSA Day will be presented virtually and will focus on supporting human resource departments with the education, tools, and resources they need to support employees’ healthcare and retirement-planning needs with health savings accounts (HSAs).

“Benefits Buzz,” a weekly podcast from WEX’s Health division, will feature three special guests on HSA Day. Together they will share their insight and experience on how HSAs can address the challenges HR teams face. The guests include:

• Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, president and CEO of Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
• Jennifer McClure, president of Unbridled Talent and CEO of DisruptHR
• Stefanie O’Connell Rodriguez, author and journalist, host of “Money Confidential,” Real Simple Magazine’s podcast, and co-founder of Statement Event

“One of the stories we’ve been hearing a lot about lately is the ‘great resignation’,” says O’Connell Rodriguez. “Given that context, I’m excited to work with WEX for HSA Day. We’re going to help HR professionals realize the full health and financial potential that they can offer their employees with HSAs, especially as we approach open enrollment season.”

HSA Day will also include two webinars: “Introduction to Health Savings Accounts” and “Helping Employees Get the Most out of their HSA.”

“Providing possible solutions for employees’ healthcare and financial wellness concerns can have a big impact on recruiting, retention, and productivity,” says Robert Deshaies, president, Health, WEX. “These issues are more important now than ever, and I am excited to hear what Johnny, Jennifer, and Stefanie share about the power, flexibility, and importance of HSAs.”
