Stephen Holliday, CEO, Level Financial Technology
With on-demand pay, staff can access a portion of their earned wage whenever they want. Closing the gap between work and pay dramatically improves the financial wellbeing of workers; while slashing attrition, time taken to hire, absenteeism and unfilled shifts for the employer. Steve will discuss how financial innovations enable all of this without impacting cashflow at all.
