KnowledgeBridge: Designing Benefits for a Workforce That Can't Wait: Meeting Immediate Needs in an On-Demand Economy
Presented by Jason Steed, VP of National Sales and Market Development, Purchasing Power
Pay cycles are monthly. Life's expenses aren't. For hourly and frontline employees, the gap between when bills are due and when paychecks arrive can create real financial stress, and that stress shows up in engagement, productivity, absenteeism, and retention. In this session, Jason will explore how employers can close that gap.
Key angles:
- The mismatch between monthly pay cycles and real-life expenses
- How today's workforce expects on-demand access to everything, including financial solutions
- The role of non-traditional benefits in attracting hourly and frontline talent
- Balancing cost control for employers with meaningful employee support
Takeaway: A roadmap for modernizing benefits to match the "real-time" employee experience.
