Your workplace needs more WOW. Get ready for MHR's World of Work 2026
Challenges
As Young Epilepsy grew, so did the complexity of managing a 570-strong workforce across multiple service directorates and contract types. They needed a more modern, intuitive platform that could empower managers with self-service capabilities, drive greater employee engagement, and free up HR and payroll teams to focus on higher-value work.
Solution
Young Epilepsy evolved their existing MHR setup by upgrading to People First, and unlocking a more powerful, user-friendly experience built for their changing needs. Guided by a dedicated MHR Project Lead, the transition was smooth and stress-free, with clear communication and minimal disruption. Its naturally intuitive interface meant staff required little training to get up and running.
"The system is very user-friendly and makes it easy to navigate employee profiles, which is incredibly helpful when we need to access information quickly. I also appreciate the simplicity of the absence tracking feature. It's clear and efficient." - Tracey Deadman, Payroll Manager
