This week, Employment Innovations premier HR software partner, Employment Hero, launched their suite of “employee focused” features that level the playing field for small to medium businesses. These four new resources, collectively called WorkLife, deliver attractive savings and benefits to employees and help smaller organisations to be more competitive with their employee offering. Employment Hero has leveraged the buying power of its 100,000 users to bring about significant savings for employees and unique resources to improve their mental, physical and financial wellness. The four components of WorkLife are Savings Hero, Hero Shop, Life and Instapay.
Savings Hero
Savings Hero is a real-time savings dashboard to help set up your employees for financial success. Through the Employment Hero platform, employees can create saving goals and track their saving progress towards things that may previously have been out of reach (e.g. a new car, holiday, deposit for a property, special life event etc.).
Hero Shop
Hero Shop provides your employees with everyday savings and “hot deals” on everything from groceries, petrol and home appliances to entertainment and tools. With a 5% savings at Coles and Woolworths, employees who spend an average of $200/week on food, can save themselves more than $500 a year.
Life Hero
Life Hero is a content hub for your employees to help improve their mental and physical wellbeing and financial literacy so they are more productive and focused at work.
Instapay
Instapay is the real game-changer in the suite and an Australian-first offering. It’s a fully automated pay-advance system which gives your employees access to their earned wages (hours already worked) before their payday. Instapay aims to reduce the number of Australians relying on payday loans and credit cards to meet financial commitments. Employees can access up to $250 a week for a $2 fee. For employers, there are no charges or paperwork involved. The whole process is managed and covered by Employment Hero.
