Lipman

With a workforce of around 200 people and more recruitment in the pipeline, the business knew that managing their HR and payroll manually was becoming near-impossible. And so, as she joined the business, Emma set out to drive a more modern People & Culture function with the help of an HRIS.

Having used ELMO Software before in a previous role, Emma was already a fan of its configurability and understood the value in being able to tailor the solution to fit Lipman’s unique needs.

“From a business perspective, I knew that by using ELMO, I could get exactly what I needed from the system,” she says.

One of those needs was to securely house employee information in one central, secure system. With information stored in different spreadsheets, Emma had no single source of truth. What’s more, there was a risk that the information within those spreadsheets could be out-of-date or incorrect.

“Without the backstop of a system that is foolproof, a spreadsheet is only as reliable as the person filling it in,” she says.

Inefficient learning management was another key pain point for Lipman. Previously, providing learning courses for staff was a very manual process that was tracked in a spreadsheet and involved printing hard copies. The senior leadership team wanted a Learning Management System that could provide easier access to learning for their staff with a user-friendly interface.

The onboarding process also lacked a modern feel and it was easy for new recruits to feel burdened by paperwork.

Overall, Lipman required an HRIS that could streamline and automate their HR and payroll, reducing the paperwork and freeing up more time to support and develop their people.
