May 5, 2022 –TheCOVID-19 pandemic interrupted the employer benefits market, causing growth rates to stumble in 2020. But the pandemic also served as a wake-up call to employers. It emphasized employee well-being through services that support financial wellness, provide emergency savings, or encourage good mental health practices. Health savings accounts are part of that financial wellness toolkit. Their tax advantages, portability, and flexible nature allow account holders to spend, save, or invest funds.
