Registered representative of GWFS Equities, Inc.. Member FINRA/SIPCThe most rewarding part of my role is collaborating with payroll and Human Capital Management (HCM) providers to help streamline the data transmission process that makes it possible for us to take work off the employer's desk. What this means to employers is automating payroll (HCM) data to the retirement plan and freeing them up to focus back on their core business not administration. By offering Empower's Data Direct solution capitalizes on an employers experience with a number of payroll providers, enabling us to establish standard set-up formats that meet the requirements of both Empower and the providers we work with. The result is a smoother, potential lower-cost process for establishing data transmission to Empower.And with Data Direct, your payroll provider will send MassMutual your participants’ demographic,compensation and contribution information directly and automatically, enabling us to provide a number ofservices that the employer otherwise would have to manage on their own.When not working to relieve the administration burdens on employers, I can be found with my better 3/4 Dr. Kristie Overstreet, surfing, and volunteering with the local Golden Retriever rescue.
