The way that most 401k retirement saving accounts are structured is exacerbating racial and intergenerational wealth gaps, according to new research published in a NBER working paper. Charter reporter Michelle Peng dives into the effects of employee match programs and government tax policy on the retirement wealth gap between white and non-white employees, as well as employees with higher-income parents and those from lower-income families.

Do workplaces have a role in reducing political polarization? Robert Putnam, author of "Bowling Alone" thinks so, though he argues that the right approach is "almost certainly not bringing them together to talk about politics... it's back to this connecting people about something that cuts across party lines." Read excerpts of our interview with Putnam for his advice on how to put those ideas into practice:

In many parts of the country, it's officially back-to-school season. That means new stressors for working parents. "Anybody who’s got small kids—especially under the age of 10—knows it’s hard to get them stabilized in a routine,” says Wes Burke, CHRO of Care.com. “You get normalized in the summer routine, and then all of a sudden, we’re changing it again.” Here's what workplaces can do to support them: https://buff.ly/3WUdkK2

Before actor Lamorne Morris became a national celebrity as Winston on the TV sitcom New Girl, he was a busboy. And a telemarketer. And a video-store clerk. A few weeks ago, he sat down with Charter's Michelle Peng to share what he's learned about avoiding and addressing burnout from TGI Fridays to TV's New Girl, as well as leadership lessons that corporate america can learn from Hollywood.

In yesterday's Sunday Briefing, Charter reporter Michelle Peng digs into a Project 2025 provision that has escaped broad public notice but could have huge implications for employee benefits: a new $12,000 (or lower) cap on untaxed benefits that employers can claim as deductions. For larger workforces, the Project 2025 proposal—if pursued by a Trump administration—could raise corporate taxes by millions of dollars, a cost that organizations would have to absorb, pass on to employees, or cut benefits to avoid. Kathryn Bakich senior vice president at human resources consulting firm Segal Benz, says that many employers are likely to cut benefits to stay beneath the cap, leaving many workers without the health coverage they need to keep themselves and their families healthy. "It’s kind of like your worst nightmare," she tells Charter. Read yesterday's newsletter for more on employee benefits, plus everything else business leaders need to know in the past week of headlines: https://buff.ly/4cpXV8B
