Case Study: Human Resources Information System (HRIS) Project
Now Actually assists clients in finding a suitable Human Resources Information System for their business.
10 February 2025
Now Actually assists clients in finding a suitable HRIS for their business. We complete the research, analysis, and due diligence requirements to support businesses in their journey of identifying the appropriate HRIS for them to implement.
The Challenge
The client had an existing HRIS in place but were only using payroll and limited aspects of the performance review functions. They didn’t like the system and wanted something more streamlined to meet their expectations.
The current system did not connect to other existing systems integral to the organisation.
The current system was difficult to navigate.
There was no central system or process for employee documentation which meant HR administration and employee record keeping was poor in the current state and would be difficult to migrate to a new system with no consistency or structure to records.
The business had a diverse workforce with a combination of blue- and white-collar employees.
Having unsuccessfully used the existing HRIS, there was a concern that the engagement of a new system would be low.
The Solution
Now Actually undertook a thorough analysis of the current state in relation to HR documentation and records.
Our HR Partners workshopped with the client what an ‘ideal’ state would be with the correct HRIS implemented.
An independent, unbiased analysis was conducted to ensure the correct research was completed to identify a new HRIS.
Engaging HR professionals who knew what a successful system looked like for the type of industry and audience that was going to use the system resulted in a successful rollout within the business.
The Impact
The Client received an in-depth report providing all the information obtained throughout the project including the recommended system to implement.
The Client understood the current state of play with the existing system, the limitations it presented and why they had to consider a new system.
The Client received an in-depth analysis of what the market offers to support their requirements along with cost requirements, timelines and system implementation plan.
The Client has all the information they needed to make an informed decision on the best system for their workplace including key contacts to engage with the external vendor.
