Realizing the benefits of an Integrated HR solution

The company started evaluating its options for a new HR solution that could meet its specific requirements. Specifically, they had to comply with requirements of a government contract it held, and all the client data needed to be housed in Canada. They currently had to call an outsourcer when they needed to make changes to their setup (incurring extra costs) and time lags in compliance.

Why they chose StarGarden:

  • StarGarden's system houses data in tables under the complete control of the organization
  • StarGarden’s position-centric solution also allowed the organization to implement clear position controls and eliminate errors
  • StarGarden solution allowed them to capture large amounts of employee and position data and an unlimited number of user defined fields
  • StarGarden's software had plenty of room to grow with the organization, allowing expansion of the system as needed by simply utilizing other modules.
  • The annual maintenance fees for StarGarden was significantly lower than their previous provider
The benefits StarGarden was also able to bring in the organization:·
  • Reduced errors, as it would no longer have to enter data into 2 separate systems.
  • Seamless flow of G/L information from payroll to the GL and the process no longer dropped terminated employees from the month-end statements.
  • Automated vacation accruals
  • Ability to pull payroll reports by specific dates rather than pay period
  • True integration with ONE database for easier reporting and data analysis
  • Ability to future-date transactions with no impact to other future-dated actions in the system
  • System generated "Employee Self Service" password re-sets (vs. requiring time-consuming HR involvement)
  • Training during implementation and also year-round through ongoing online training courses
  • Associated HR reports for all processes
  • Full Employment Equity module to allow tracking and reporting on criteria specific to the equity requirements issues by the government.
  • Skills and competency gap analysis for succession planning
  • Aility to track performance ratings
The company had two options: integrate payroll with HR utilizing StarGarden’s payroll module or continue with the current payroll solution and interface it back to the StarGarden HR system.

The company chose to initially integrate its existing payroll system with the StarGarden HR system. A couple of years later, the organization abandoned their payroll solution and implemented the StarGarden payroll module.

Working with a Canadian company provided the organization with the confidence that its payroll provider understood local payroll legislation

Now

This organization concentrates on the analysis of their data and processes and optimizing their workforce rather than spending time trying to extract and match up data from multiple sources. It expanded its consolidation project to include their scheduling and workforce management systems and integrations to benefit carriers which are all now managed with the StarGarden solution.

Bringing HR control back in house with an integrated system

An Ontario-based assistance services company with offices across Canada and nearly 1,500 employees needed Canadian data residency to meet a government contract, plus full control of its HR data. Its old setup relied on an outsourcer for every change, adding cost and compliance delays. Moving to one integrated StarGarden system gave the company control of its own data, tighter position controls, and room to grow.

The challenge

A government contract meant client data had to stay in Canada, and the company wanted more control than its current setup allowed. It needed:

  • Canadian data residency to meet contract requirements
  • Less reliance on an outsourcer for routine setup changes, which added cost and compliance delays
  • Position-centric controls to cut down on errors
  • Room to grow without replacing the system again

How StarGarden helped

StarGarden gave the company a system built around its own control:

  • Housed all data in Canada, under the company's own control
  • Applied position-centric controls to eliminate errors
  • Captured expanded employee and position data with unlimited user-defined fields
  • Left room to grow by adding modules as needed
  • Cost less in annual maintenance fees than the previous provider

The results

With one integrated system in place, the company gained:

  • Fewer errors, with no more entering data into two separate systems
  • Seamless payroll-to-G/L flow, with terminated employees no longer dropped from month-end statements
  • Automated vacation accruals
  • Payroll reports pulled by specific date range instead of only by pay period
  • One database for true integration, easier reporting, and data analysis
  • Future-dated transactions that don't disrupt other future-dated actions
  • System-generated Employee Self-Service password resets, freeing up HR's time
  • Ongoing training during implementation and year-round afterward
  • A full Employment Equity module for tracking and reporting on government requirements
  • Skills and competency gap analysis for succession planning, plus performance rating tracking

The company later replaced its outside payroll system with StarGarden's own payroll module, and has since consolidated scheduling, workforce management, and benefits carrier integrations onto the same system, letting it focus on analyzing and optimizing its workforce instead of reconciling data across sources.
