HR Operations at Deep Pool Financial Solutions
Deep Pool Financial Solutions is a leading fintech company in Ireland, offering comprehensive financial solutions primarily to banks and other financial institutions. Their workforce is spread across the main office and various client sites, and the adoption of HRLocker has significantly enhanced HR operations. Here is an account of how this software has positively impacted the organisation.
Challenges of Manual HR Processes at Deep Pool
Before implementing HRLocker, HR processes at Deep Pool were entirely manual.
“We used to do everything manually—handling holidays, reviews, and objectives. All the policies, the handbook, everything. I had to email people and share documents, then manually track who signed and who didn’t.”, Elena Nada, HR Manager at Deep Pool Financial Solutions.
The merger of two companies further added to the complexity, making it challenging to manage employees efficiently. Keeping track of document sign-offs and ensuring compliance was particularly difficult, highlighting the urgent need for an integrated HR system.
Why Deep Pool Chose HRLocker Over Competitors
HRLocker was discovered after conducting extensive research. Being an Irish company and not overly large, HRLocker was an attractive option. The idea of partnering with a local company that understood specific needs was highly valued. Positive feedback from other users further confirmed the decision.
Smooth Transition and Adoption of HRLocker
The transition to HRLocker was seamless and well-supported by their team. HRLocker’s team guided Deep Pool through the process, ensuring efficiency and straightforward implementation. The training and support were particularly valuable, helping the team quickly adapt to the new system.
Key Benefits of HRLocker for Deep Pool
Centralised HR Data Management
HRLocker centralised all HR data, streamlining processes that were previously manual and scattered. This centralisation improved the ability to track applications, manage compliance, and maintain accurate employee records effortlessly.
Enhanced Performance Management System
The performance management module standardised the review process, ensuring consistency and efficiency. Automated reminders and templates significantly reduced the backlog of performance appraisals and improved overall employee engagement.
Self-Service Features for Employees
HRLocker’s self-service features empowered employees. The mobile app allows off-site employees to submit timesheets, request holidays, and access their schedules easily. This autonomy reduced the administrative burden on the HR department and increased employee satisfaction.
Improved Communication with HRLocker’s Noticeboard
The notice board feature on HRLocker’s dashboard enhanced internal communication. Important announcements and company news are now easily accessible to all employees, keeping everyone informed regardless of their location.
Comprehensive HR Reporting and Analytics
HRLocker’s reporting capabilities provide detailed metrics on time tracking, leave, and other key HR data. This information aids in financial and operational planning, enabling managers to make informed decisions.
Significant Outcomes and Metrics Post-HRLocker Implementation
Since adopting HRLocker, several significant improvements have been observed:
