We spoke with Grace Hackman, Head of People and Culture at Tedaisy Insurance Group

about the difference Employment Hero has made since they adopted the platform.

Challenges…

Adapting to the changes that come with growth

Over the last few years, Tedaisy Insurance Group has grown from 20 people, to a team of 60 across several offices on different sites around the UK.

While growth is an exciting stage for any business it often comes with a few challenges.

“We’ve brought in lots of new businesses to the group, and new people to bring into the culture. So the teething problems with rapid growth started coming in fast,” says Grace. “It’s hard for everyone to know everyone across four offices, let alone understand their role.”

Moving away from manual HR

Having forms to do with everything, everywhere, made it hard to have visibility across all the business functions to keep up with what was happening.

One of the biggest challenges for some line managers at Tedaisy Insurance Group was the manual HR process that used to be in place. It meant that time was often wasted trying to find the correct spreadsheet, remembering passwords to different platforms and figuring out which forms and papers go with what.

“Our poor line managers don’t want spreadsheets everywhere on top of forms and paper to handle,” says Grace. “I was looking for automated processes, and the ability to get all of it in one place so it’s nice, simple and easy for managers and their teams to use.”

Keeping up with who is located in which office was challenging

At Tedaisy Group Insurance, exponential growth was an exciting period. But it also meant that it was getting harder to keep up with who was based in which office, and make sure the incredible people behind the good work going on across the business got that well deserved recognition and praise.

“One of my priorities, apart from the functionality of the system, was the culture piece,” Grace recalls. “I really wanted to be able to have a place where everyone could easily see who worked on what that day, and see what’s going on across the business.” 

Solutions…

Keep everyone connected as your business scales up

Employment Hero helps your new and existing colleagues familiarise themselves with people across the company easily with our handy organisation chart feature. You can easily find out who’s who across different business units and office sites, with just a few clicks.

We can also help you onboard and offboard colleagues, and keep track of documents you need to make sure to tick off the list during the process.

“The handy task list functionalities is really useful. Particularly with onboarding new starters and offboarding anyone leaving,” say Grace. “It’s easy to access and really cuts down the time spent on chasing for these documents between our managers and HR.”

Have everything under the HR sun in one handy platform

From keeping track of who is taking what time off across the company, to pulling reports based off your staff data, and helping you to keep track of conversation points from your 1:1s, Employment Hero makes HR admin easier, and faster.

“The team leaders find the 1:1 function on the platform super useful, because it keeps everything in all in one place, and gets rid of all the forms that were frustrating to manage,” says Grace.

“I also find it really useful, even for simple things like approving holiday requests. It’s very user friendly.”

Empower your team through recognition

Good work always deserves praise and recognition. Employment Hero makes it easy for your team to shout out loud and proud when a job’s done well.

“We love the shout out function. When a job’s done well, someone will be sure to give a shout out,” says Grace. “It really helps connect people, and helps everyone easily hear what’s going on.” 

Get a HR system that’s always evolving to fit your needs

At the end of the day, the ultimate deciding factor for Tedaisy Insurance Group was the ability to configure our platform.

“We really wanted a system that would grow with us. We’re growing quite quickly, and Employment Hero allows us to change things as we tweak processes,” says Grace.

“Employment Hero has really helped us to empower our managers and give them that space where they can do everything they need for their team all in one place. And really help us communicate better as a wider group, not just in each office – and connect us.”
