About the organisation
Arli Homes is a residential construction company specialising in high-end, design-led homes. With around 30 employees across sales, estimating, construction, finance and administration, the business operates across multiple sites and is preparing for rapid growth through two new divisions targeting first-home buyers and investors.
HR and systems are overseen by Samantha Calleja, HR & Systems Lead, alongside her broader operations remit.
The challenge
As the business scaled, HR processes were fragmented and manual. Employee records lived in SharePoint. Contracts were signed manually. Safety, compliance and HR lived across disconnected systems.
“There wasn’t really a place to manage HR properly. We had everything on SharePoint and Excel and things were getting missed. When you start using a system, you start to see what it can’t do and that’s frustrating.”
Without a dedicated HR resource, the risk of inefficiency and compliance gaps continued to grow.
The solution
Employment Hero became Arli Homes’ single HR foundation. Automated onboarding workflows replaced spreadsheets. Digital contracts removed manual admin. Leave, payslips and employee self-service moved into one app. Asset registers, document management and systemised offboarding created consistency across the business.
“Employment Hero gives us a base for HR that we didn’t have before. It’s like having a temporary HR person until we need one full-time.”
The ROI
- Replaced the cost of a part-time HR wage
- Reduced onboarding admin through fully automated workflows
- Created a single source of truth for HR, payroll and compliance
- Improved confidence with a 100% digital HR audit trail
“For what we pay per month with Employment Hero, the platform gives us far more back.”
Why it matters
With Employment Hero in place, Arli Homes has the confidence to scale.
“It gives a level of comfort knowing the foundations are there. We can now build on it as we grow.”
For leadership, that means less risk, more control and the freedom to focus on building the business.
