Business Challenges

  • Manual HR Processes: Before Kenz, the company HR department was relying on manual processes for managing their day-to-day workforce tasks. They were using multiple word documents, Google spreadsheets, and excel sheets for employee time tracking and attendance tasks. The absence of a truly automated, streamlined HR system at the workplace was limiting the HR executive’s productivity and performance. They were unable to focus on strategic tasks like talent development and engagement due to excessive manual workflows.
  • Poor Benefits Administration: The time-pressed HR department at the client location was unable to handle the complexity of delivering varied healthcare benefits. Because of the inefficient system, they are unable to choose and deliver unique benefits plans to their workforce. Plus, the cost, compliance, and billing errors were also increasing due to manual operations.
  • Performance Reviews: The payments solution company needed an integrated HR solution with performance review capabilities that can be used on a global scale. They wanted a streamlined system that can help automate their disorganized review process and provide timely feedback to their employees. Since the HR department was already trapped into multiple processes, going to every employee and asking for an update on their performance review was not possible.
  • PTO Tracking: Like most of the other HR processes, PTO tracking was also done manually by the client's HR team using Google docs and spreadsheets. Manual PTO tracking was resulting in costly errors. Managers were required to approve PTO requests via email, which meant requests would get lost sometimes. And, also when the requests were approved, the HR team had to manually enter the data in payroll systems, which further increased the scope of errors.

Our Solution

“From streamlining our performance review processes to automating PTO tracking, Kenz’s HCM platform helps us save invaluable time so we can focus on our people, strategy, and business growth,”

said VP of operations at the client firm.

Before Kenz, the client’s HR department was managing separate components of their operations - mostly manually via paper documents and spreadsheets. For payroll and timekeeping, the company was using Paychex. But, it was unable to provide the right set of healthcare benefits to its employees. So they decided to make a switch from Paychex and manual operations to Kenz. The easy-to-use interface and integrations available in Kenz helped the company streamline its HR, payroll, and performance review processes greatly.

Talking about this, the client’s HR manager said,

“We firmly believe Kenz is an ideal all-in-one HR platform for our growing business. Companies that are struggling with operational inefficiencies can easily start with this platform for streamlining their workflow.”

Initially, the client’s HR team had shortlisted three solutions, including Bamboo HR, Zenefits, and Kenz for streamlining their performance review processes. Eventually, they decided to go for Kenz as it had everything they were looking for: a user-friendly interface, customizations, and seamless integrations.

Besides performance review functionality, Kenz offered automated PTO tracking, company news feed, dynamic org charts, self-service app, and other options - which impressed the client a lot. Everything Kenz had to offer was so perfect that opting for it was a no-brainer for the payments solution provider client.

The client was more than happy as Kenz integrated its disjoint processes into a single system. Be it onboarding, compliance, time tracking, or payroll - the company automated most of its operations with data flowing seamlessly across all systems.
