Manual HR processes are burdensome: automation increases accuracy and frees up staff for more important work

As a not-for-profit, CCS must allocate resources carefully and focus as much as possible on serving the community. The team realized that HR processes were mostly paper-based (and thus prone to error) and time-consuming. Automating HR would make processes faster and more accurate and would free up time and money to improve community services and enhance staff wellbeing.

The way we were working had to change. Everything was manual … it was clear it was no longer meeting our growing demands.

Sage People reduces HR process times while driving up accuracy

Having considered their options, CCS chose Sage People. Key to this was the modular approach that Sage People offers, allowing CCS to build the system up at its own pace and add modules as needed. The benefits were immediate. Sage People reduced the performance review processes by 96%, with 100% accuracy. Processes that had previously taken 30 hours now take just one.
