Without a retirement plan, you run the risk of running out of money. Join us as Erik NeVille, CEO of Teacher’s Pension, discusses the importance of retirement plans for educators. He created the company because his father, an educator, didn’t know his school district offered retirement plans due to a lack of financial education in his father’s district. Teacher’s Pension offers an educational approach to providing information about financial wellness such as debt management, risk tolerance, Social Security, and much more.

Maybe they’ve received a harrowing medical diagnosis and need to fully understand their benefits and sick leave. Perhaps stressors from home are influencing interactions with coworkers and things are getting tense. They may even be starting a new position and are fresh-faced and ready to get started. HR Administrators are the stewards of these situations, leading both the employer and employee on the right path to education, assistance, and resolution. Joining the podcast is Tammy Decker, who details the role these professionals play and how Higginbotham’s team can fulfill that role for employers.

Here to haunt your happy new year is the IRS, the most demanding of trick-or-treaters, pounding on your door for tax forms, and they won’t accept any sub-par filings. Fulfilling ACA reporting and 1095 filing obligations is a treacherous task, but with the right information and resources, employers can make it through, penalty-free. In this episode, FBS is joined by Heather Garcia, founder of ETC Companies, who shines a light on the unexplained. Heather is an expert on ACA compliance and is very passionate in sharing her knowledge in hopes that employers can avoid any traps while fulfilling filing requirements.

A large part of this effort to understand mental health is picking apart misconceptions, eliminating stigma, and providing tools and resources for everyday people to handle stress and promote mental well-being. Dr. Jada Jackson Hill, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Vice President of Well-Being at Listeners on Call, returns to the FBS podcast to discuss this focus on mental health and provide additional insight on these topics in relation to education.  Thu, 17 Nov 2022 15:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054235/11707439-fbs-podcast-ep2-myths-and-truths-falsehoods-of-mental-health.mp3 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054235/11396443-fbs-podcast-ep1-tpa-billing-reconciliation.mp3 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 21:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2054235/11396443-fbs-podcast-ep1-tpa-billing-reconciliation.mp3
