Every healthcare leader knows that employee satisfaction and patient outcomes go hand in hand. When your staff feels supported, your patients feel it too. But here’s the key question: Are your benefits truly supporting your team where they need it most? The reality is, financial stress is one of the biggest drains on caregiver well-being and focus. If you want to move the needle on patient care, you have to address the financial health of your team, and that starts with an impactful benefit like earned wage access (EWA).

The Connection Between Pay and Care

Research shows that higher employee engagement leads to better patient experiences. Hospitals with engaged nurses see lower mortality rates and complications. However, when employees are worried about making ends meet at home, it distracts from their focus on patients. Offering earned wage access, which allows employees to tap into their wages before payday, can:

• Improve focus and morale
• Reduce absenteeism
• Encourage long-term loyalty

Boosting Morale with Earned Wage Access

With Keeper’s EWA platform, employees can access a portion of their earned wages after they complete a shift. This gives them peace of mind by not having to wait until payday to cover a bill or any unexpected expenses that pop up between pay cycles, allowing them to bring their best selves to work. When morale rises, so does the quality of care.
