NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 8, 2024) – The Nashville Predators and Bridgestone Arena have partnered with DailyPay, empowering their employees with the financial wellness benefit of earned wage access, also known as on-demand pay, to eligible employees of the Nashville Predators and Powers Management, L.L.C. dba Bridgestone Arena as part of the partnership, DailyPay will be designated as the official ‘On-Demand Pay Partner’ for the Nashville Predators and Bridgestone Arena.
This partnership is made possible through DailyPay’s collaboration with Oak View Group (OVG), the global leader in live experience venue development, management, premium hospitality services, and 360-degree solutions for a collection of world-class owned venues and a client roster of arenas, stadiums, convention centers, music festivals, performing arts centers, and cultural institutions around the world. OVG Global Partnerships initiated and negotiated this deal on behalf of Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Predators.
By offering DailyPay as part of its financial wellness benefits package, the Nashville Predators and Bridgestone Arena employees will have access to their pay as they earn it. This gives them the flexibility to pay bills, spend, save and invest on their own schedule, eliminating the need to rely on a traditional scheduled payday.
DailyPay’s worktech platform features the industry-leading on-demand pay benefit. With DailyPay, users can avoid costly financial products, such as high-interest payday loans. Research from the Aite Novarica Group, commissioned by DailyPay, shows that 95% of those who were previously reliant on payday loans in any way either stopped using payday loans (81%) or reduced use (15%) after using DailyPay.
“Our organization is excited to partner with DailyPay to offer all of our employees their on-demand pay services,” said Courtni Mosley, Chief People Officer for the Nashville Predators and Bridgestone Arena. “With talent acquisition and retention being top of mind for so many employers right now, it is critical that we offer benefits to distinguish us as an employer of choice in the market. With DailyPay’s on-demand pay solution, our employees have instant access to their money when they need it most. There is an intangible, intrinsic value associated with these benefits, and we are thrilled to partner with DailyPay to bring these to our staff.”
DailyPay has also proven to reduce employee turnover and boost productivity. Thirty percent of employers say they’ve seen a reduction in employee turnover since implementing DailyPay. In contrast, 55% of employees say they pick up at least one extra shift per month according to research from Arizent, commissioned by DailyPay.
“Through our partnership with DailyPay, we are also able to recognize outstanding performance and customer service efforts from our employees through the Golden Moment Maker initiative. This initiative, sponsored by DailyPay, allows us to showcase deserving employees during Nashville Predators home games and has been received with tremendous enthusiasm from our staff,” said Mosley.
“We are proud to partner with The Nashville Predators and Bridgestone Arena and align on their mission of prioritizing the well-being of their employees, enabling them to bring the best version of themselves to work every day,” said Lauren Mandel, Vice President, Brand Marketing, DailyPay.
