About PROEKT
PROEKT, an innovative architectural firm founded a decade ago, embarking on a unique journey in the world of design and architecture. The company initially began as a venture without a comprehensive understanding of business operations, particularly in areas like HR and legislation. With a primary focus on creativity and design, the firm grappled with the challenges of running a business efficiently, lacking the professional skills needed for employee psychology, compliance, and employment law.
PROEKT has successfully undertaken a diverse range of projects, from designing and renovating high-end residential spaces to handling approximately 50 apartments. Their projects extend internationally, with an office in Singapore. The firm has encountered issues such as performance improvement and disciplinary concerns.
Prior to implementing Employment Hero, the firm navigated its operations by having open discussions with employees, yet felt a sense of blindness due to a lack of clarity on both their and their employees’ rights. The introduction of Employment Hero marked a transformative phase in their approach to managing the business, providing a more informed and structured framework for addressing workplace challenges.
Challenges
PROEKT, while initially thriving in the architectural and design industry, faced a multitude of challenges as they grew, highlighting the complexities that come with managing a business. As they expanded, they encountered difficulties in handling internal matters, particularly around performance management. Despite having legally binding contracts, they lacked the knowledge on how to navigate intricate situations within the office environment.
The decision to seek external assistance led them to the EH team. The pivotal factor in choosing Employment Hero was the legal assistance service, comprehensive templates, and the assurance of having expert guidance available at any time. Navigating the intricate web of HR law, contract law, and procedures became less daunting with the support of knowledgeable professionals.
The small business environment made every decision critical, and PROEKT found solace in the fact that they could turn to Employment Hero for advice and strategic solutions. The challenges they faced were met head-on with the assistance of Employment Hero, providing PROEKT with the confidence that they had the necessary tools and guidance to protect their business and foster a close-knit team striving for common goals.
