The impact of offering Stream

Established in 2008, Bruce's has become a leader in the booming doggy day-care industry, known for its innovative approach to employee engagement and wellbeing. As part of their holistic support for colleagues, Bruce's partnered with Stream to provide financial benefits that have received glowing feedback from their team.

"Being in financial difficulty or having financial stress can have a huge impact on people's physical and mental wellbeing, so for me, it just forms part of that holistic looking after our colleagues."

Bruce, the founder of Bruce's, shared the company’s commitment to creating a fun and supportive culture. Employees at Bruce's, often described as a 'different kind of breed,' are passionate about dogs and dedicated to supporting each other. By introducing Stream, Bruce's has helped colleagues navigate financial challenges, especially during the cost of living crisis.

"If we hadn't implemented Stream, I think with the cost of living crisis, we may have found colleagues struggling even more."

Stream has provided employees with stability and a means to save towards financial goals. The platform's features, such as the automatic savings tool, have been particularly appreciated by staff.

"The feature I really enjoy is the savings tool because I can get to my goal a lot quicker as it automatically takes money out of my pay before I even see it."

With Stream, Bruce's has seen improvements in colleague engagement and retention. The flexibility to access wages early and the ability to save effortlessly have empowered staff and strengthened their sense of security.

"Definitely helps with people's financials, especially with the cost of living crisis. It's nice to know you can stream a bit sooner or save towards your goal."

By prioritising their employees' financial wellbeing, Bruce's has set a benchmark for how businesses can support and retain their teams while fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.
