SeamlessHR Launches Solution For Efficient Payroll Magt

Africa’s payroll and HR technology company, SeamlessHR, in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has discussed the optimisation of blue-collar employee welfare and productivity through a new technology solution, Breeze Payer. 

The Company made this known in an event held in Lagos, with executives from 7up Bottling Company, Guinness Nigeria, Lafarge Cement, Julius Berger, BUA Cement, UACN and others present.

At the event, SeamlessHR unveiled Breeze Payer, a cutting-edge application for employers that will enable drive talent retention among their employees through solutions like Earned Wage Access. 

This platform enables employers of blue-collar workers to efficiently manage their payroll, facilitate salary and wage disbursements, and connect their workforce to the market of financial value-adding services. 

Speaking on how employee welfare impacts productivity, deputy director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Lynn Eisenhart said, “employees are our most valuable asset. People stay because of how organisations treat them and the benefits they enjoy during their stay. Blue-collar workers deserve to be empowered by financial services and empowered by their organisations so they can be more productive.

“We want to give them access to financial resources at their fingertips through the Earned Wage Access platform. This is why we have partnered with SeamlessHR and employers, to leverage employee data and create sustainable solutions.” 

Also, CEO of SeamlessHR, Emmanuel Okeleji, said “alongside our innovative Earned Wage Access platform, a payroll processing system, which aids the seamless management of employee and employer payroll and also facilitates access to low-interest loans, we have also built a comprehensive technology tool to track time and attendance. 

“This integrated solution draws inspiration from successful implementations across the globe, ensuring that blue-collar workers can thrive in an inclusive and supportive work environment.”

Okeleji added that with the partnership of the Gates Foundation and top employers of blue-collar workers, we can create a long-lasting impact on this segment of Africa’s talent.

Human capital development expert and Faculty director of Human Resources Management at Georgetown University, Professor Dapo Adeleye said, “we need to shift our perspective and reevaluate the employee value proposition. Instead of solely focusing on top talent, we must recognise that a significant portion of the workforce comprises blue-collar workers at the bottom of the ladder.”

The second phase of this engagement is set to hold in Kenya as SeamlessHR continues to expand its reach and impact, it remains steadfast in its dedication to empowering African businesses through digital transformation.
