9 million borrowers are already behind on student loan payments— and their credit score will take a 200-point hit. Our Chief Customer Officer, Rich Williams, spoke with PLANSPONSOR about what this means for employees and why HR leaders need to take action. With repayment fully back in motion since October, missed payments are tanking credit scores by 150 - 200 points, increasing financial stress, and impacting workplace productivity. The good news? Employers can help. Providing student loan benefits—like expert guidance and income-driven repayment support—can make a real difference in employees’ financial stability and overall well-being.

News flash: Seniors are the fastest-growing population with student loans. Student loan debt isn’t just a “young borrower” problem—it affects employees at every stage of their careers, including those nearing retirement. Nearly 3.5 million seniors still carry student loan debt, with some even facing Social Security garnishments. That means your workforce—whether early-career, mid-career, or preparing for retirement—may be struggling with student debt. For HR leaders, this is an opportunity to support financial well-being across all generations of employees. Offering student loan benefits isn’t just about recent grads—it’s about providing long-term financial security for your entire team. Rich Williams, Chief Customer Officer and the former Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Department of Education, sits down with Bankrate on the growing crisis here: https://lnkd.in/eaMAJnXA #HR #WorkplaceWellness #FinancialWellness #StudentLoanDebt #EmployeeBenefits
