Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. Social security, our nation's retirement safety net, is projected to be insolvent as soon as 2035, making employer-sponsored 401(k) plans the primary retirement savings vehicle in the U.S. Nearly half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future because they are employed by a company that doesn't offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings. Our values are the guiding principles we use to build solutions for plan administrators and participants. They reflect our point of view on what's important and what's right: In it for customers, autonomous & accountable, outcomes driven, inclusive collaboration, and decisive.

This is according to the Westpac First Job Report, which found Australian teens are landing their first job at an average age of 15.4 years, compared to 16.3 years for their parents. While seven out of 10 young people surveyed prioritised money and financial independence when looking for their first job, more than two thirds lacked the confidence to open a bank account to be paid into. Hospitality is the most common industry most Australians will work in for their first job.Source:istock Job administration, such as setting up a tax file number and superannuation, was another area where teens (57 per cent) felt unsure and almost half (44 per cent) were too afraid to ask in an interview how much a job paid. To provide guidance to young job seekers, Westpac launched Wendy, Australia's first digital job coach.
