What if one employee benefit could help companies reduce turnover while helping employees achieve homeownership?
In this episode of The Personal Side of Business, Jet Bunditwong sits down with Larry and Cheri Salazar, founders of NestSTEPS Benefits, a company helping employers offer homeownership benefits to their teams.
After experiencing their own challenges with buying a home, Larry and Cheri built a program that helps employees create financial plans, save for down payments, receive employer contributions, and learn how to maintain long-term homeownership.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why the average first-time homebuyer age continues to rise
- How employee turnover can cost companies thousands
- Why traditional workplace perks often fail
- How employers can help employees buy homes
- Why financial education is critical before purchasing a home
- How this model could reshape employee benefits in the future
This episode is for business owners, HR leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in solving one of today’s biggest affordability challenges through innovation.
This one feels very aligned with your audience because it speaks directly to employers/business owners while still having a broader human angle.
