Many employees are worried about retirement timing, long‑term affordability, and whether their savings will last. UBG CEO Brent Evans explains why guaranteed income is becoming a strategic advantage for employers who want to attract and retain talent in uncertain times.

We're still processing all the tremendous information we learned at this year's HR Seminar from speakers from the Iowa Institute for Cooperatives, Intellicents, LEAD U2 Action, Social Security Administration and the Fiduciary Law Center.

This year's theme was Next-Level Retirement, and these guests truly delivered with valuable insights and forecasts that are always so useful for the UBG team and our partner co-ops around the Midwest!

Pac-Man, Paperboy, Punch-Out, oh my! Those classic arcade games at Up-Down Kansas City didn’t stand a chance last week, as friends and colleagues from valued Midwest co-ops travelled to for last week’s HR Seminar.

Designed specifically for HR professionals, the event was packed with valuable presentations, expert speakers, breakout sessions and plenty of networking (like bonding over some Skee-Ball at Up-Down).

Special thanks to our featured speakers and Crossroads Hotel Kansas City for the fantastic venue. See you next year!
