Beyond the 401(k): How Microsoft Is Rethinking Financial Well-Being

In episode two of Will U Retire?, PSCA Executive Director Will Hansen sits down with Brandon Diersch, Director of International Financial Benefits at Microsoft and immediate past president of PSCA.After 18 years on Microsoft's finance side managing corporate cash, Brandon pivoted into benefits four years ago, and now oversees financial well-being programs for a workforce that has shifted from mostly software developers to include electricians, HVAC techs, and pipefitters. He and Will get into what actually drives engagement, the pilot that flopped because the content was too generic, and what a year in DC taught him about where policy really gets made.
