Home Health Care Organization Empowers Staff to Regain Control of Their Finances

Industry: Aging Care

The Challenge

Mary Haynes, President and CEO of Nazareth Home & Sacred Heart Home,
Louisville, Kentucky understands the financial pains of her employees who are
living paycheck to paycheck and was looking for a program aimed at financial
wellness and empowerment to help employees with their day-to-day struggles.

“Imagine how challenging it is for the mother
who needs extra child care, food or gas before
the next paycheck is
due. She may be working extra hours to pay for
something extra, but traditionally she has to wait
until payday to actually
receive the money. Also,
people get behind and
have to try and borrow
money until their next
paycheck. I was thrilled
to see this program [Payactiv] and delighted to
bring it to the staff. Right
now about one-third of
the staff are using the
program.”

The Solution

By offering Payactiv, Nazareth Home & Sacred Heart Home have helped their
staff to take control of their finances and provide an alternative to borrowing
for necessities between paychecks. Bringing a benefit like Payactiv is a clear
message to employees that their employer understands and cares about their
daily struggles.
