Clair Brings Earned Wage Access To Gusto Clients Earned wage access fintech Clair has partnered with payroll, benefits, and HR management solutions company Gusto. Under the agreement, employees at many of Gusto’s 300,000 supported businesses will be offered access to On-Demand Pay via Gusto Wallet. Gusto is Clair’s first partner to announce participation in the new embedded EWA product. Embedded earned wage access provider Clair and payroll, benefits, and HR management solutions company Gusto are teaming up this week. The partnership will allow Gusto to offer earned wage access (EWA) to their small business clients. Founded in 2019, Clair offers an embeddable EWA tool. Clair’s clients, which include Trinet, 7Shifts, syncHR, use the EWA tool to help their combined 12,000 business customers offer their employees earlier access to their paychecks with no interest. Once employees set up a Clair spending account, they can receive a paycheck advance at any time for hours they’ve already worked. Clair offers end users banking services powered by Pathward, N.A., including a virtual and physical Mastercard debit card, access to fee-free ATMs, and does not charge monthly service fees or require a minimum balance. “Emergency expenses often arise and employees need a secure and convenient way to cover those unexpected costs,” said General Manager and Head of Product at Gusto’s Members business unit Dan Loomis. “Due to these needs, we decided to add an on-demand pay offering to Gusto Wallet and knew it would be crucial to find the right partner to bring it to life in a seamless, compliant way. We evaluated all the major players in the EWA space and Clair stood out as our ideal partner, bringing both the compliance framework and technical capabilities we need to offer wage advances right inside our existing app. We’re proud of this industry-leading collaboration that expands the possibilities of embedded financial wellness benefits.” Under today’s partnership, employees at many of Gusto’s 300,000 supported businesses will be offered access to sign up for On-Demand Pay via Gusto Wallet. The company anticipates the move will help employees increase prosperity by delivering not only earlier access to their pay, but also to financial and work productivity tools. Gusto is Clair’s first partner to announce participation in the new embedded EWA product. Gusto was founded in 2011. Originally known as ZenPayroll, Gusto provides a cloud-based payroll, benefits, and HR management solution. The company’s tools help businesses with things like time and attendance, hiring and onboarding, talent management, and more. Company co-founder Joshua Reeves is CEO.

Strategic alignment across product and field is complex and not easy to get right, but it's a pleasure to work alongside Brett Crane, Trevor Jett (Childers), and Jarod Greene. It's wonderful to be in conversation with them, sharing what we have learned, in this webinar: https://lnkd.in/gc-qp7Hk

There continues to be a lot of angst with both IC and leaders in the Product Management discipline. Tech and other industries are going through a generational leadership shift among other changes.

Check out the #FinLitMonth Intuit for Education spot on Jimmy Kimmel. https://lnkd.in/gNMFyMG2 One of my biggest insights from working in this space is how much people hold back about their finances, especially when they are in need of help. It breaks my heart to hear the shame that people carry about not being able to do something they were never taught to do. I do this work because I strongly believe that the education and tools to make good financial decisions should not be limited to the select few with the resources to pay for financial guidance and advice.

Delivery-focused. Execution-oriented. Not Strategic. Or (my new favorite internet slur) ZIRPM. In a startup context, getting stuff off the production line IS strategic (despite what the haters say). Here are a few reasons why: Read this post and more on my Typeshare Social Blog: https://lnkd.in/dPDuKYQb

How does #productmarkeing enable #B2B cross-functional teams? Over the past few weeks, I've had a few interactive discussions with people who asked me to describe product marketing's function within a company. I thought I would share some of the highlights! Note: Within the marketing org, I only mentioned Demand Generation, but Product Marketing also enables Social Media, Content Marketing, Creative, and Performance Marketing (to name a few). How does product marketing enable cross-functional teams in your org? #pmm #gotomarket #salesenablement #B2Bmarketing

Today at Awardco we're releasing A-Pay Cards 🚀 We're thrilled to partner with Stripe to further expand the power of the world's largest rewards network. Now organizations and employees have more flexibility to incentivize and redeem points like never before. > What is A-Pay? 💳 A-Pay is a physical or digital card that can be used to redeem rewards and recognition points for everyday purchases. > Where can A-Pay be used? 🛍 A-Pay can be used across 100,000+ everyday locations for things like retail shopping, gym memberships, restaurants, online purchases and more. > Why does this matter? 📈 Organizations now have more options to programmatically incentivize and reward employees, further enhancing engagement, retention and ultimately business outcomes. > What are common use cases for A-Pay? ✨ We've seen some incredible early adopter usage of A-Pay. Here are a few examples: - I was rewarded points for a new product launch. Rather than redeem on the platform, I can choose to activate my digital card on my Apple Wallet and pay for 18 holes of golf ⛳ - I am an HR leader assisting in onboarding of frontline workers. I can choose approved categories of where my team can spend A-Pay points (gas for fleet management, funds for nurses to purchase PPE, WFH stipend for my remote team) and so much more 🙏 - I earned points for hitting a company milestone. That night I attended a Jazz game and my son wanted a new Jazz jersey. At the kiosk I am able to pull out my A-Pay card and use my rewards points to create a lasting memory with my son and his first jersey (GO JAZZ) 🎷 To learn more about this release, check the PR link in the comments or our website. Also reach out with questions! Lastly, stay tuned...this is just the beginning of some serious releases we have coming here at Awardco 😁

Analysis is only as good as the decision-maker’s willingness to put it into action. It doesn’t matter how much analysis you do, or how many A/B tests you have with strong evidence; if the people at the top are biased or go with their personal gut feelings, run away! An interesting article from The Athletic discusses how teams in the NFL draft continue to make mistakes, even though they know the best way to draft. https://lnkd.in/efrw2ghn
