Level Up your financial education game with the MetLife Retirewise Financial Wellness Workshop! This four-part series can play a fundamental role in directing your basic financial and retirement planning.  In its 15^th year, Retirewise has offered over 14,000 workshops to more than 3,000 companies in all 50 states.

A broad spectrum of financial and retirement-related issues will be covered in these one-hour sessions, including budgeting, investment principles, Social Security, and estate planning – there is something here for everyone. Each session includes different topics and employees are able to choose which session they want to learn more about. However, to make the most out of this special opportunity it is recommended to attend all sessions, as each session build on the previous week’s content and employees will also be asked to do homework to assess their own personal finances.

 This virtual series is offered (at no cost) to all RCUH employees and registration is forthcoming. The workshop will be from 12noon – 1pm HST for the following Tuesdays in April:

• April 9: Building the Foundation: Understand your financial and retirement planning basics by creating a budget, learn about compound interest, tax diversification and inflation.
• April 16: Creating and Managing Wealth: Review the principles of investing including how to get started, different types of investments and their common risks and strategies.
• April 23: Establishing Your Retirement Income Stream: Learn how to examine risks, manage assets and structure a retirement income stream to address your retirement needs and wants.
• April 30: Making the Most of What You Have: Review your employer’s benefits and how they can fit into your plan while also covering estate planning, Medicare options and life and disability income insurance.

With Retirewise, you’ll be on your way to making smarter financial decisions and creating an action plan that works for you. 

Because these sessions are being held during the middle of the day, all employees should notify their PIs and supervisors if they would like to attend. We encourage Principal Investigators and Supervisors to allow their employees to attend these sessions, if requested.

[Spouses and partners are welcome!]

Two-factor authentication is coming to the Human Resources Portal and Employee Self-Service on Friday, February 23, 2024. By implementing two-factor authentication, we are aiming to increase the security of our systems and to provide protection for the sensitive data found in these portals. Please refer to this news announcement for more information.

In preparation for this, RCUH Human Resources will begin removing user IDs in the following situations:

• Employees who have terminated and haven’t been paid through RCUH for 18 months or longer
• Human Resources Portal users who are only on inactive Distribution Codes, or are on active Distribution Codes but haven’t logged in to the Human Resources Portal and/or Employee Self-Service for 18 months or longer

This will only impact user IDs that are used to login to the Human Resources Portal and/or Employee Self-Service. This process will continue to be done on a quarterly basis.

If there are any questions or concerns, please contact RCUH HR Information Systems via phone (808-956-8900) or email ([email protected]).
