IRALOGIX Launches Retirement Preparedness Benchmark
IRALOGIX has announced the debut of the IRALOGIX Retirement Readiness Index, a comprehensive national benchmark built to track Americans’ preparedness to “retire with financial security and peace of mind.”
The IRRI measures overall U.S. retirement readiness across five dimensions: savings and investments, health care readiness, lifestyle and spending, emotional well-being and economic and policy confidence.
In its inaugural Q1 2025 evaluation, the IRRI reported a score of 45.9 out of 100. Scores below 50 fall into the “moderate risk” zone, indicating pre-retirees may face uncertain futures without adequate savings, health care coverage or financial confidence to sustain themselves through retirement.
Payroll Integrations, UKG Partner to Automate Benefits Administration
Payroll Integrations introduced a new technology partnership with UKG, a provider of HR, payroll, workforce management and culture solutions.
Companies that use UKG Pro or UKG Ready can now automate administrative tasks using Payroll Integrations. With pre-built integrations into widely used benefit providers in the U.S., including 90% of the largest 401(k) providers, Payroll Integrations’ technology transfers data from payroll systems and benefit plan providers to eliminate manual entries and “ensure data accuracy.”
“Companies want to support employees’ financial wellness, but it can be hard to find time to connect and engage with employees when HR teams are bogged down with hours of payroll and benefits-related administrative tasks,” said Doug Sabella, CEO of Payroll Integrations, in a statement. “We’re looking forward to working with UKG to expand our work to automate HR hassles so companies can prioritize their employees.”
