Since 1949, the month of May has been recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month in the U.S. It’s a vital reminder of the importance of mental well-being—and how unchecked stress and anxiety can spill into the workplace.
In recent years, we’ve all faced unprecedented challenges. Mental health and financial pressure have become top concerns. When employees are overwhelmed, businesses feel the impact.
So, how can employers help create a less stressful, more supportive environment?
At Beyond, we believe automation is one of the most powerful ways to reduce work-related stress, improve efficiency, and foster a healthier workplace. Here’s how you can support your team’s well-being—starting with your internal operations.
Automate Repetitive Tasks with Smart Workflows
Did you know the average employee spends nearly 19 full workdays a year on repetitive tasks? Or that labor accounts for roughly a third of total HR costs?
Beyond’s Workflows eliminate time-wasting manual tasks, helping your team focus on what really matters.
Choose from three customizable automation types:
- Notifications – automatically remind teams about important deadlines.
- Document Management – organize licenses, certificates, and reports with ease.
- Profile Management – set up and manage HR profiles in just a few clicks.
You can automate the entire employee lifecycle—from hiring to onboarding, offboarding, and expense tracking. Less human error, more streamlined operations.
Smarter Scheduling, Less Headache
Manual scheduling is time-consuming and prone to mistakes. It’s also mentally draining, reducing overall productivity.
That’s why Beyond built a user-friendly scheduling tool that lets you create, update, and share shifts in just minutes—from anywhere.
Create custom schedules, make real-time edits, notify staff automatically, and avoid confusion. With Beyond, you’ll always stay one step ahead.
Stress-Free Onboarding Starts Here
First impressions matter—and onboarding is where it all begins. But manual onboarding can be frustrating for both employers and employees.
Beyond’s 100% digital onboarding platform empowers new hires to get started faster, without paperwork or delays. They can self-onboard, set up direct deposit, and submit tax forms all in one place.
Meanwhile, managers can track progress without constantly checking in. It’s smoother, faster, and much less stressful for everyone.
Payroll Doesn’t Have to Be Painful
Payroll errors and compliance issues are a major source of stress for business owners.
With Beyond Payroll, calculations, deductions, and taxes are all automated—accurate and on time, every time. Sync with your accounting software, activate AutoPay, and never worry about missing a paycheck again.
Employees can also benefit from options like:
- Next-Day Pay
- Pay On-Demand
- Payroll Debit Cards
These features boost morale while keeping your processes efficient.
Give Employees Access to Earned Wages
Financial stress directly affects performance. Beyond’s Pay On-Demand feature gives employees early access to their earned wages—no waiting, no stress.
And the best part? Beyond fronts the cash, so there’s no impact on your business cash flow.
According to Forbes:
- 78% of employees say early wage access helps them pay bills on time.
- 74% report reduced financial stress.
- 70% say it helps them avoid payday loans.
It’s a small change that makes a big impact on employee well-being.
