In today's competitive job market, it is essential for companies to attract and retain top-notch talent to thrive. However, a study by Robert Walters released in 2022 revealed that many companies were facing difficulties in retaining and recruiting employees. The study found that 50% of companies in Indonesia had seen increased resignations, and 65% had difficulty recruiting new talent. Moreover, the study also found that 65% of professionals were looking to change jobs or resign in 2023
Amidst a challenging job market, one company, Klikdaily, has stood out by successfully attracting and retaining top talent. They have done this by prioritizing the wellbeing of their employees and promoting a positive workplace culture, particularly those working in distribution centers, where the nature of work can be physically demanding and fast-paced.
Klikdaily is an online grocery and micro-retail platform that has established itself as a leader in the Indonesian market. With a wide range of partnerships with national and local brands, a presence in over 210 districts, and cutting-edge technology that powers the e-commerce platforms of major retail players, the company continues to grow and expand in the industry.
Attracting and retaining top talent is a crucial element in the success of any company. And at Klikdaily, we believe that there are several key factors that contribute to this. From providing innovative benefits to fostering a positive work culture, we're constantly looking for ways to improve the employee experience and keep our team engaged and satisfied.

One key innovative benefit offered is the earned wage access powered by wagely, which allows employees to access a portion of their earned wages before their regular payday.
wagely has been a game-changer for many of our employees, especially those who have unexpected expenses or need to make ends meet. To be honest, I was initially hesitant to implement this benefit as I thought it would add to our HR team's workload. But it turned out that wagely prioritized our workflow and was easily implemented without changing our current payroll process.

Corry illustrates how the wagely benefit works: “Let’s say an employee earns IDR 5,000,000 net salary monthly. One day an emergency came up and she needed some money quickly. Even though payday is not yet here, she has worked for 15 days. That means she has already earned IDR 2,500,000. With the wagely app, she can withdraw a portion of that earned wages immediately, while the remaining wages are paid through our regular payroll on payday.”
Since offering wagely in 2020, Corry has witnessed firsthand the positive impact it has had on employees and the company as a whole. Employees have reported that wagely is incredibly helpful in managing their finances as they can also see how much they earn each day, which makes it easier to budget. What's more, new hires are often excited to inquire about the wagely app and how they can take advantage of it.
Happy employees bring positive energy into the workplace. That's a win-win for everyone.

According to Anna, who has been working as a Sales Marketing Support at Klikdaily since 2021, wagely has been a lifesaver for her.
I ever used the app to pay for my brother's school expenses when payday was still like a week away. It was 10 PM and I needed the money right away. Instead of taking out a loan, I was able to access my own money quickly and easily through wagely. The app is simple to use and the withdrawal process was extremely fast, with the money transferred to my bank account in no time.

Klikdaily also offers a flexible working environment that balances freedom with accountability. Employees are able to work in a hybrid way, with no strict working hours, but are still expected to complete tasks efficiently and effectively. The open office space shared by the manager and junior staff promotes easy communication and collaboration, setting Klikdaily apart from traditional companies that have separate offices for different levels of staff.
