72% of deskless workers that use #EarnedWageAccess report feeling less financial stress 🤯 but why? When employees can draw from what they've already earned, rather than borrowing at crazy interest rates, they feel more in control of their finances. And, when companies leverage the latest financial technology to give their employees 24hr access to those funds, they only ever take what they need.

2024 was a whirlwind. And we wouldn’t have it any other way 🚀 Last year, we: 👋 welcomed 42 new clients 👫 doubled our team 📲 delivered over 1.5 million payslips to employees 🗣️ handled more than 3,500 queries through our Query Inbox (and that's just since July!) 🏆 won some awards Of course, it wasn't all perfect. Startup life never is. Despite our best intentions, we made mistakes. But you don't learn or grow when things are perfect. Nothing we achieved would’ve been possible without the dedication of our amazing team and the trust of our clients who believe in what we’re building. In 2025, we’re aiming even higher. New year, new goals, same mission: empowering the deskless workforce. Here’s to doing it bigger and better. And with even more heart 🩷 #JemHR #2025 #DesklessWorkforce #HRTech
