Andesa Introduces Employee Student Loan Repayment Benefit

ALLENTOWN, PA. (PRWEB) JANUARY 16, 2020

Andesa Services, Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based Policy and Plan Administration solutions to life insurance, annuity carriers and benefit participants, announced today that they have signed with Gradifi to offer a Student Loan PayDown Plan (SLP Plan®) benefit.

By signing with Boston-based Gradifi, an innovator in employee benefits for U.S. employers, Andesa is joining the ranks of some of the most progressive companies in the country, companies like Peloton and Honeywell, leading the nation in providing next generation benefits to the new generation of workforce.

Beginning January 1, 2020, Andesa will use Gradifi’s intuitive and secure platform to contribute directly toward employees’ student loan principal on a monthly basis. These supplemental contributions help Andesa employee-owners potentially shave years off their loans and alleviate a significant source of workplace stress.

An employee led committee undertook a comprehensive review of Andesa’s compensation and benefits offerings this past year. “Through conversation with some of our young professionals, this benefit became a priority heading into 2020,” said Ron Scheese, President & CEO. “We are excited to team up with Gradifi’s innovative solution to ease our administrative burden and provide relief to our employee-owners.”

“We want to build a brighter future for the workforce today, and we know that starts with providing greater financial wellness. Employers have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of their employees based on some of their most pressing financial concerns,” said Kate Winget, SVP of Gradifi. “Andesa’s move to offer Gradifi’s SLP Plan as a benefit to their employees shows their commitment to helping alleviate that burden for their employees, as well as exhibiting leadership for others to follow suit to tackle this national crisis.”
