Background

A medium-sized business with a rapidly growing workforce, faced challenges in managing their HR processes, engagement, and internal communications. With a diverse team spread across multiple locations, the company struggled to keep track of important milestones, employee performance changes, and data updates that impacted payroll. Their existing HR systems were not optimized for real-time communication or proactive alerts, causing delays in decision-making and a lack of timely feedback to employees and managers.

Objectives

The company wanted to automate manual tasks and streamline workflows to reduce administrative burden. Ensure timely recognition and feedback for employees, boosting morale and productivity. Enable seamless communication between HR, Payroll, Managers, and Employees for a more cohesive work environment. Prevent errors in payroll processing due to missed updates and data discrepancies.

Solution: UKG Pro Business Intelligence People Analytics Alert Studio

InteGreat Solutions partnered with the company to use UKG Pro’s Business Intelligence People Analytics. Alert Studio was utilized to create and customize notifications to meet the unique needs of the company by focusing on automated alerts and real-time notifications. Managers received automated alerts whenever a new employee was hired, ensuring that they were informed in real-time to facilitate onboarding and orientation. Notifications were set to remind managers of employees’ work anniversaries and birthdays, allowing them to recognize milestones and foster a culture of appreciation and recognition. Alerts were triggered whenever there were changes to an employee’s performance record, ensuring that managers could quickly address performance issues or acknowledge improvements. Employees were notified immediately if there were any changes to their performance reviews or records, prompting them to take action. This ensured transparency and a continuous feedback loop.

UKG Pro’s system sent automated alerts to HR and Payroll teams whenever there were changes that could affect payroll calculations. This included updates to compensation, benefits, job titles, or other data that needed to be reflected in payroll processing. These alerts ensured that payroll discrepancies were minimized and that HR could take immediate corrective action when necessary.
