Using multiple spreadsheets for managing employee information wasn’t sustainable and as the organisation grew
Smart Play Network is the national organisation supporting play services and play providers in Scotland. The organisation was established in 2011 out of a pursuit to inspire and support communities to play in Scotland
"Using multiple spreadsheets for managing employee information wasn’t sustainable and as the organisation grew it became more complicated.”
“We used multiple spreadsheets to manage our HR absences including holidays and personal employee information. Each employee had their own paper and electronic file that only the management had access to.”
“Keeping this information updated when only management had access to it became a challenge. We wanted a system where we could allow employees to update their personal information, formally request and track holidays and the management team have everyone is on one place.”
Having someone we can speak to about any employment issues that come up is helpful.
“We have now moved across to fully using BrightHR and we no longer use spreadsheets to manage employee absence or personal details. Employees now have access to an online copy of their employment information, previously this was paper based.”
“We really appreciate the company notification/alert systems. It has made things easier for us when issuing all employee memos with requests for them to read and confirm back.
“The system is easy to use, change permissions and settings for it to fit the way our organisation works. It has made it easier and more efficient when managing the HR needs of our employees, including absences and having access to an employment law specialist at the end of the phone.”
