Building Awareness of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
Thousands of student loan borrowers are qualifying to have the remainder of their federal loan balance forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. The key to receiving this benefit is understanding the specific requirements that must be met to qualify. During this session, we will share details of the program, how to apply, and actions to take to remain on track towards forgiveness eligibility. Our goal is to build awareness of the PSLF Program and share valuable resources to help borrowers achieve their goals.

A Deep Dive into Student Loan Repayment Assistance
Student Loan Repayment Assistance (SLRA) is one of the fastest growing employee benefits. It's a strategic way to attract and retain top talent because it directly addresses the burden that student loan debt places on borrowers. Employers can make tax-free payments toward an employee's student loans up to $5,250 per year. Join us to learn more about SLRA, its impact on employees and employers, and key considerations when creating a program.

Preparing Student Employees for Workplace Success
Student employees are a great resource for your office-and it has shown to improve their academic performance too. However, they could bring nuances unique to their status as a student. With varying schedules and diverse outlooks towards employment, they may provide you with unique supervisory challenges. Attend this session as we share ideas for managing and preparing student employees for workplace success.

Retooling Your Time Management to Work for You
Most of us have more work to do than there are hours in a day-and we try to manage time efficiently so that we can be productive. However, when you're understaffed, have conflicting demands, and a never-ending list of tasks to complete, managing time can be challenging. Attend this session to learn strategies for retooling your time management such as chunking, blocking, and the Eisenhower Principle.

Elevating Your Customer Service Beyond Compare
Good customer service has become the expectation. It's the minimum of what people want in their experience with your organization. They want more than a friendly face. Many expect to have their needs met through a wide variety of ways-and those needs extend to both in-person and online. Join this session to identify ways for elevating the service you provide beyond compare.
