Don’t Hit Snooze: The Retirement Benefit SMBs Are Sleeping On

SMBs work hard to compete on compensation and culture, but one of the most impactful talent benefits is often overlooked: retirement.

In this session, we’ll explore why simple payroll deductions paired with employer matching consistently rank as one of the highest perceived-value benefits for employees; often valued more than many flashier perks. We’ll also unpack how modern group retirement plans have evolved dramatically over the past 10–15 years, making them far more flexible, accessible, and employer-friendly than many SMBs realize.

Join us for an interview-style conversation that challenges outdated assumptions and shows how retirement can become a powerful (and practical) part of your talent strategy.

Speakers:

• Lauren Kadet, VP, Group Benefit Sales & Portfolio at Employment Hero
• Connor Bays, Head of Sales & Partnerships at Common Wealth
• Matt Iannuzzi, Senior Manager, Partnerships at Common Wealth

Who Should Attend:

• SMB owners, founders, and operators
• HR and People leaders supporting growing teams
• Finance and payroll leaders who are involved in benefits decisions
• Anyone rethinking how to attract and retain talent without adding complexity
