TOPIC: "The Great Recalculation! Social Security, Medicare, and New Retirement Realities"
Exploring the challenges facing employees who are approaching retirement.
After decades of historic growth, America’s aging workforce was blindsided by the unprecedented disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Health concerns, layoffs, and financial market volatility forced many older employees to leave the workforce prematurely (The Great Resignation). Those who remain have had to rethink their retirement plans- and the Social Security & Medicare decisions they are built upon.
This fast-paced, engaging presentation looks at the sobering statistics that underscore the difficult realities facing today’s ‘Peak Boomer’ (and soon Gen X) employees who are nearing retirement. It then highlights important Social Security & Medicare basics that are in play and identifies specific challenges facing this group as they navigate unique, often complex, and highly consequential filing decisions. Filled with real-life examples that are practical and ‘HR relevant’, this benefits and retirement-related content will be of interest to HR professionals of all experience levels, as well as those who simply want to learn more for themselves about Social Security & Medicare… America’s foundational retirement programs.
