  • Episode 52: Supporting Financial Wellness Through Emergency Funds
    Aug 18 2025
    If you've seen the job market numbers for July and the dramatic downward revisions made for May and June, then you know the data's finally matching up to what many are sharing and experiencing right now in the job market. It's not easy for folks navigating restructures and layoffs and many are having to dip into retirement savings to stay afloat between jobs. But adjacent to longer-term income shocks that could require 6-12 months of income replacement are unexpected expense shocks that can have huge impacts on financial wellbeing for large portions of the workforce. My guest this episode, Nick Maynard, discusses the impact of unexpected expenses and how employers can utilize available tools and programs to better support employees and protect the need for liquidity events on retirement savings. Enjoy this episode and maybe avoid peaking at your 401k balance for a bit... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Episode 51: Evolving Payroll with Data, Compliance, Automation, and Insights
    Aug 18 2025
    I still clearly remember getting my first paycheck as a high schooler working over the summer at the local movie theater. The amount was shockingly low, there was some sort of loop hole where we were getting paid below minimum wage, but getting that handwritten check from the manager was exciting and a milestone moment for me nonetheless. Flash forward 5 years and I'm actually running payroll for the commercial real estate firm I'm working at as part of my property manager duties. It wasn't a huge group, but two dozen people began relying on me to make sure they got paid accurately and on time each month. That's when it hit me how critical it is to get payroll right and that a misstep in processing has a very real impact on people's lives. Technology has come a long way from the early 2000's Quickbooks software I was running. Payroll is evolving from a back office administrative function to a strategic pillar that enables organizational agility through data and insights. Payroll platforms are also leading the charge on building out holistic compliance suites that extend across the HR spectrum beyond just payroll. That's why I'm excited to have payroll industry expert and analyst, Pete A. Tiliakos, join me to discuss the evolution of payroll and its expanding strategic importance.
