Let HR focus on people not paperwork

The best HR teams are building environments where people grow, feel valued and perform at their best.

However, HR often struggles to meet that ambition, with hours absorbed by the administrative work
that keeps businesses moving, but limiting capacity to accomplish more.

The impact

Less than a quarter of employees (23%) globally say they are fully invested in their work*. 



So, what’s stopping HR leaders from doing their most impactful work?

With manual processes and repetitive admin eating up hours a week, it becomes difficult to drive meaningful change and create people-focused work.

The impact

Why does this matter to me?

Good question.

Every time an employee interacts with company money, that moment shapes how they feel about their job and employer.
Even if finance sets the rules, HR shapes the experience.

With the right tools, spend management becomes a way to build trust and empower employees.

Employee experience

Keep employees engaged & motivated

Spending company money often comes with friction, frustration and financial strain. It also distracts employees from their work.

How can HR leaders help people feel supported, empowered and trusted to make decisions?

Start where financial friction shows up the most:
travel and expenses (T&E).

72%

say out-of-pocket expenses negatively affect personal finances

61%

feel anxious about covering work-related expenses.

Keep employees engaged & motivated

Tame travel and expenses (T&E)

Asking employees to cover costs upfront negatively impacts financial wellbeing and employee experience.

Your business needs controlled spending. An environment where employees are trusted with company money. That means less time spent explaining expense policies, arranging reimbursements and fewer errors.

Employee wellbeing

Make initiatives accessible & autonomous

Does your business offer generous benefits, but find employee uptake remains low?
Too often, initiatives feel like they’re out of reach due to complex approvals,
vague policies and slow reimbursements.

With Soldo, employees can directly access wellness stipends, rewards, incentives, training and development.

Benefits & Rewards

Employees who feel cared for are about 1.3x more likely to stay and 1.2x more productive*.

Make benefits part of everyday life by simplifying the way people access budgets, allowances and perks.

From memberships to apps, employees needn’t cover the cost themselves. No reimbursements or upfront payments.

With Soldo, monitor employee uptake and spending so you can offer more of what matters.

Learning & Development (L&D)

When employees receive training, businesses see a 17% improvement in productivity and 21% increase in profitability*.

Unused training budgets are a missed opportunity for individual growth and business capabilities.

However, many learning initiatives require multiple forms and approvals, which can be time-consuming and confusing.

With Soldo, employees request and access a pre-approved learning budget, making learning self-led and transparent.

Employee retention

Make people want to stay

Retention begins on day one.

New hires learn whether a company enables them to do great work or slows them down with red tape.
Every small experience shapes that perception. 

Each delay sends a message. Here’s what HR leaders like you can do to create a frictionless employee journey
that strengthens loyalty from the start.

70%

Business goals

Build a better relationship with finance

Avoid reactive policy conversations and uncomfortable investigations over expenses. When spend rules are enforced after money is spent, HR ends up defending decisions instead of driving outcomes.

Control how money is spent

By embedding company policies directly into spend management tools, you ensure that every transaction aligns with budget and rules.

This means assurance and auditable data and no more post–event corrections or difficult conversations.
