Overcoming Remote Team Management Challenges with a Digital HR Solution
NYCI needed a system that would offer more than only a time and attendance functionality. They were looking for an HR solution that would allow them to better interact with staff and organise their HR documentation in a compliant way.
“HRLocker allowed us to upload policies and ensure that all documentation was signed by staff, both from an employee and employer perspective.”, says Lynne Oglesby, Director of Finance & Operations at NYCI
The National Youth Council of Ireland functions as a government-funded charity and membership organisation, advocating for policies concerning issues that impact young people.
NYCI aims to build capacity, leadership and influence to improve the lives of young people.
Choosing HRLocker for Irish-Based Support
Besides the software features, one of the things that led NYCI to choose HRLocker was the Irish-based customer support. For their organisation was fundamental to have very quick support in an Irish time frame.
“I’ve used it previously on another employment and from an employee perspective I found it quite handy. Very interactive and user friendly.”, Lynne Oglesby.
Their employees’ feedback was also positive. They found the platform very user-friendly with helpful online tutorials guiding them along the way.
Simplifying Timesheets and Ensuring Compliance
They needed an HR solution that would help reduce time and manual tasks. With HRLocker, employees are able to manage their own timesheets and upload certifications if needed. This allowed them to save time on management and administrative tasks.
“We have more control over timesheets, which is quite important for us because we’re funded by government departments. If we are audited, we now have appropriate timesheets.”, Lynne Oglesby
As well, from an employer’s perspective, uploading all HR policies to ensure they were all signed and stored in a compliant software portal was a must.
Recommendations and User Feedback
“Definitely! And I actually have. I’ve pointed out how user-friendly HRLocker is and obviously the GDPR compliance aspect. As well, I mentioned the software support that we get and how any client issues are resolved very quickly.
As well the webinars I find are very helpful. They’re continuously updating and very relevant to any HR issues. I’m not an HR professional so, for someone that is not from that background, the webinars are very useful.”, Lynne Oglesby.
