Dubai, UAE, October 11, 2021: Bayzat, the UAE’s leading employee benefits platform that helps companies automate their insurance, payroll, and HR administration, today announced significant upgrades to its flagship employee benefits platform aimed at empowering UAE organisations to achieve key business outcomes in the post-pandemic world.
With millennials now constituting more than half the UAE workforce and Covid-19 hyper-accelerating the need for companies to provide their employees with better work life experiences via technology offerings, Bayzat, in 2021, has experienced 20% MoM growth with over 60K employees logging into its cloud-based Software-as-a-service (SaaS) employee benefits platform 700K+ times a month.
“While the economic recovery is well underway in the UAE, organisations remain under pressure to drive operational efficiencies and contain costs, particularly in process heavy departments such as HR and payroll. At the same time, business leaders are having to adapt to a new breed of employees who are more tech-savvy and have higher expectations of the benefits they receive from their employers”, said Talal Bayaa — CEO and co-founder at Bayzat. “With our unparalleled understanding of local regulations and workforce dynamics, Bayzat is the partner of choice for UAE businesses as they aim to strike a balance between these fundamental objectives. Our innovative platform is tailored to the unique needs of the modern organisation, and our commitment to continuous enhancement ensures our customers always have the tools they need to expertly navigate evolving requirements”.
The wide range of new features on the Bayzat platform are centred around its core pillars of HR administration, payroll, insurance and employee benefits, and geared towards driving operational and cost efficiencies, elevating employee experiences, and improving the work lives of UAE employees.
