We are proud to share that Candidly has been named to Fast Company's list of the world's Most Innovative Companies for 2024. 🚀 

80% of Americans with student loans prioritize paying down their college debt over saving for retirement — a tradeoff with devastating consequences for long-term financial security. So when lawmakers first proposed a policy to enable employers to match workers' student loan payments with retirement contributions, we started developing the technology needed to bring such a program to life. And as a result of our proactive stance and steadfast willingness to make big bets in borrowers' best interest, Candidly was ready to help stakeholders operationalize the legislation from the moment it became law on January 1, 2024. 

Our SECURE 2.0-compliant Student Loan Retirement Match solution is just one example of how innovation drives impact at Candidly, and one of many reasons why we're so proud to be recognized among the world's Most Innovative Companies.

HR leaders: did you know that 3 in 4 eligible employees say their employer’s tuition reimbursement benefit makes them less likely to quit?

Tuition reimbursement is a major opportunity to boost retention and recruitment, cultivate inclusivity, and tap into up to tax incentives, since Section 127 allows employers to contribute up to $5,250 tax-free to help cover workers’ educational expenses and student loan repayment.

Many experts recommend aiming to build an emergency fund with enough savings to cover at least six months of expenses — but competing financial priorities can push that milestone out of reach. Case in point: only 14% of student loan borrowers have met this goal, compared to 1 in 3 U.S. adults without student debt. 

Take a closer look at the emergency savings crisis:

📸: Last night, the Candidly crew attended Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies Gala in NYC alongside other honorees from this year’s list.

In the months since the return to federal student loan repayment, borrowers' savings have taken a major hit — while 23% of respondents said they don’t have any savings in the first place.

Join us for a live webinar on June 5 as we discuss how nonprofit HR leaders can leverage PSLF to mitigate workers’ financial stress and cultivate employee loyalty for the long haul.
