Connecting the dots
The fact that it is August 1st is perhaps a good time to think about time. Jan 1st 2020 is now closer than Jan 1st 2019 was — when the year felt so new, hopes abound, resolutions to do more of good things and less of bad things. The days sure do go by fast. Time’s greatest feature may be in it’s ability to be ever so scarce and yet seem so abundant. The master trickster.
Pay by Verifi was built primarily for employers (thanks for pushing us over N2billion — lets do trillions). When we see HR departments, we see people using modern tools to recruit, on-board new hires, and do 360 evaluations. We see the guardians of the company’s culture and advocates for a healthy workplace. The same goes for Finance departments, using data to gain deeper and broader insights, and weaving a story with numbers to help management make better decisions.
Automate what you can and use those hours for the true value-add work. We see automation as even more critical for smaller companies — it can save a business. Smaller companies do not have the resources or army of people that big companies have, but they can move faster than big companies — automate — and you will sprint. Time is the only thing we cannot buy — leveraging tech to automate processes is the key to doing more with less. The world will move towards greater automation not less. Excel is dead, it is like using a CD player in the world of Spotify. Or Tidal (Hola Hovito)
Pay by Verifi also works for employees. This is where the dots connect and life and work converge. No need to get super meta on the importance of salaries — but it is a powerful concept. Suspect we can all agree on that.
We have launched an employee mobile app that can be downloaded in the respective app stores. IOS here and Android here. As you know we have third party partners and we plan to bring in more. The idea is that on those good months, you put some money away into savings and investments. For those lean months, you can access cash as needed to deal with life’s beautiful and inevitable shocks. Please buy health insurance — you don’t want to need it, but you want to have it if you need it, it is one of the soundest economic decisions you can make. We also hope that you keep a long time horizon in planning for those days when you will stop working to smell the roses and your pensions and investments will carry you. You can do all this from the app. It’s actually pretty neat when you think about it.
Building this company is about the most joyous building a company can feel — not very — building a business is hard. But this accidental company inspires us, we love the paths it guides us through and more importantly we are so grateful to those that have taken to it and gave us the early conviction that we have something here — hold us down.
