The challenge
Karndean faced inefficiencies caused by fragmented HR and payroll systems, making it difficult to manage employee engagement, absence management, and payroll processes effectively. Employees lacked a platform to access their information, which hindered accountability and created additional administrative burdens. Limited visibility into real-time payroll data also led to confusion and a lack of transparency, making it harder to address employee queries.
The solution
Karndean partnered with MHR to implement a centralised, user-friendly HR and payroll platform. People First brought together key processes like absence management, onboarding, e-learning and, payslips into one place, empowering employees to take ownership of their information and reducing queries. The collaborative approach made Karndean’s transition seamless and lead to increased usability.
Key benefits
- Enhanced efficiency: Processes for managers and employees were streamlined through regular check-ins
- Increased transparency: Offering real-time payroll reporting fostered trust and further clarity with employees
- Employee engagement: Improved onboarding and learning experiences, with all information accessible in one place
