What we did for them

When Mark joined the company as Group HR and Health & Safety Manager, part of his remit was to ensure the business was not only compliant but had a consistent approach to HR. With respect, and in the interest of practicalities and efficiencies, it was evident that the systems required modernising. Hence the reason Mark started looking for an appropriate HR software.

Mark chose our HR Software for a number of reasons.

Initially, Mark was impressed with the communication, “Predominately they wanted to gain an understanding of our business and they demonstrated personability. When we had meetings, they wanted to understand exactly what we wanted from the system and provided a vision of what the software would offer. It was just what we were looking for.”

The new system was rolled out whilst introducing innovative elements of Time and Attendance at just one site. This was a sensible approach and positive learning curve.

Mark continues, “It was important for us to make sure we considered all the processes including upstream and downstream impacts: accounts and payroll being a pertaining department. For example, all employees are issued with ID cards with a unique QR code to scan in and out via iPads using the HR’s working time management system. Leading on, casual employees accrue holidays against rota and then approved working time. The system calculates this for us and it is displayed on the employee’s HR card.”
