At Journey Payroll & HR, we believe in giving businesses more than just payroll and HR services, we’re here to make life easier, better, and let’s be honest, a little more fun for everyone involved. That’s why we were proud to be one of the first payroll companies to integrate with ZayZoon, forming a partnership that puts employees first.

Because really, if your payroll company isn’t helping your employees sleep better at night, are they even trying?

ZayZoon is a game-changer in employee wellness. It’s not just about getting paid faster (though on-demand pay is a great perk). It’s about fostering a workplace culture where employees feel financially secure, emotionally supported, and genuinely appreciated. Think of it as giving your team a high-five… with benefits.

With June being World Wellness Month, there’s no better time for employers to lean into this mission. Here’s how ZayZoon helps companies build healthier, happier teams:

Financial Wellness

With on-demand pay, employees can access their earned wages before payday. Because lets face it, sometimes payday needs to come early, like when your dog eats your AirPods. Again.

• 66% of workers say they would choose a job that offers earned wage access (EWA) over one that doesn’t.
• 79% of hourly workers say they’d switch to an employer who offers EWA.
• 54% of employees feel financial stress at least once a day.

Emotional Wellness

Stress-reducing tools help employees breathe easier and worry less. Less stress means fewer awkward workplace meltdowns over printer jams.

• 1 in 3 employees say personal financial stress impacts their work performance.
• 81% of employees believe their employer should invest in their financial wellness.

Culture Wellness

With easy-to-use recognition tools, teams can celebrate wins of all sizes. (Yes, even finally remembering to attach the file before sending the email.)

• 74% of employees pay attention to recognition at the company level.
• Employees who aren’t recognized at work are 2x as likely to leave within the year.

ZayZoon’s R&R makes appreciation fast, flexible, and meaningful with personalized gift cards and public shoutouts

We’re excited to continue sharing ideas and campaigns you can pass on to clients all month long. Because when employees thrive, businesses do too, and that’s a win for everyone.

Here’s to a June full of wellness, wins, and maybe even fewer forgotten lunches in the breakroom fridge.
