Best Innovative Tech Solution 2022 HR Tech Awards

We are thrilled to announce that the Payactiv Livelihood Platform has been recognized as the award winner for Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution in the Total Rewards and Employee Wellbeing category of the 2022 HR Tech Awards by the Lighthouse Research & Advisory. 

Since inventing Earned Wage Access back in 2012, Payactiv has been on a mission to use the power of financial technology to change the way people get paid and level the playing field for millions of workers struggling to achieve financial stability. Over the years, we’ve partnered with some of the best HR tech, financial and banking services, and merchants to provide everyone access to better financial management services and create the best employee experiences possible. Thanks to this unique combination of services, Payactiv is able to offer the most competitive employee financial wellness benefits all in one place.

The Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, Ben Eubanks, had this to say, “We see hundreds of HR technologies every year in our research. The systems that won this year’s program represent some of the very best that the industry has to offer. Our judges are consistently amazed by the quality, depth, and capability that these solutions represent. In my perspective, I’m always looking for a system that adds value for the HR and talent practitioners putting in the hard work every day. This year, we found some excellent examples of those tools in action.”

Payactiv is integrated with all major HCM and payroll platforms, which makes it not only very easy to implement, but is also offered at zero cost to employers. It’s available to businesses of all sizes and across a variety of industries and proven to help with recruitment and retention while lowering operating costs and increasing employee satisfaction and engagement.

In today’s workplace, retention is a top priority. Our research shows that workers prefer employers that offer access to earned wages on demand, and Payactiv is meeting that need for millions of employees worldwide. Bottom line: tools like this help employers to drive a positive employee experience and better retention for their people.
