Challenges…

The endless paperwork that comes with new hires

Hiring is exciting. But the paperwork that comes with it often isn’t. It can be time-consuming to keep track of who’s signed what, and where each document is stored. Especially when they are stored within long email threads.

“Prior to using Employment Hero, a lot of time was used up sending individual emails to new employees, creating and saving new employment contracts, then saving the signed contract to the employee’s file.” says Jo.

Keeping up with learning and development needs and feedback across the business

As your company grows, changes are bound to happen. This makes checking in on your team and keeping them up to date on what’s going on more important than ever.

Getting their feedback on what’s going well and what needs improving is a vital part of a good retention strategy.

Moving away from manual HR

Keeping up with day-to-day HR admin as you hire can become demanding. Especially when you are still using manual spreadsheets for things such as leave requests.

Solutions…

Get an end-to-end recruitment solution that houses everything under one roof

Having an HR solution has saved Jo a lot of time when it comes to HR admin. Not only does she use Employment Hero to send out employment contracts, but she’s also able to use it to store the signed contracts in one easy-to-access place.

“Employment Hero has really supported us to onboard our new employees both remotely, and quickly,” Jo recalls.

“The functionality to send out Employment Contracts and other documents at the touch of a button is great. Plus everything is stored in one location making the process quicker and smoother, thus giving us back time to concentrate on other things.” 

Get valuable feedback from your team using our custom surveys

Jo used Employment Hero’s custom surveys function to help get feedback across the business, and for their learning and development needs.

She believes it is the key to the company’s growth and individual employee success.

“Using the surveys to send out to staff has enabled us to easily gain feedback. This is invaluable for our L&D as well as employee happiness/morale, “ says Jo.

“The custom surveys have enabled us to gain companywide feedback and implement training plans across the company, and being able to focus on identified key areas.” 

Say goodbye to manual spreadsheets

Having an HR solution has also saved Jo a lot of time on HR admin. Our self-serve system also makes it easier for an employee to input their leave requests. These then go straight to their manager ready for approval. You can also have visibility over who’s going on leave and when across the business.

“The leave request function takes away from manual spreadsheets and it is a fantastic functionality,” says Jo. “These solutions have given us time back to concentrate on other things. It’s great that everything is in one place and easy to find.”

A system that can keep up with your rapid growth

Having everything in one place has helped Jo with Alchemy’s end-to-end recruitment needs. It’s saved her time from a new hire’s onboarding experience and process, making sure all the documents that need to be signed are done and safely stored, and keeping up to date with company-wide feedback as they continue to go for gold.
