Student Loan Debt and How Employer Repayment Programs Can Help Employers and Employees

Student loan debt is an ever-growing crisis, as is the competitive search for top employees. What if there were an employee benefit that could help solve both of these problems?  Student loan repayment is a benefit that helps reduce employees' student loan debt and creating goodwill for your organization, which increases employee engagement and retention. It is also a great recruitment tool.  Student loan repayment also shows that an organization cares about the financial well-being of its employees.  It's a great way to help support employees where they are financially today, and where they want to be in the future.
