Thanks to the satisfaction survey included in the new software platform, the consultant was able to assess the workplace environment. She then targeted strategic plans that increased employee engagement and subsequently decreased absenteeism.

The consultant had just taken up a position as Director of Human Resources in a manufacturing company of approximately 100 employees. She immediately noticed that she and her manager were not on the same page. Indeed, the HR department was not managed the same way as other departments. The manager quantified his objectives and measured their achievement using indicators through different management tools (CRM, accounting and payroll solutions…). However, for HR management, no effective system was in place. Indeed, before the consultant’s arrival, there was no human resources manager and employee records were stored in multiple Excel files, making it challenging to measure HR indicators. Therefore, there was a need to optimize the company’s HR management through the use of comprehensive technological tools.
Approach
After discussing this issue with her manager, the consultant looked at the various HR software options that could provide the indicators she needed to measure HR data effectively. She selected a comprehensive and affordable HRIS (Human Resources Information System) for SMBs that could fully meet the organization’s current and future needs: Folks HR.
Process
Implementation
The consultant first implemented the HR software Folks HR.
Measure
She then measured key HR KPIs: turnover rate, absenteeism rate, job satisfaction rate, etc.
Targeted Interventions
She then proceeded to make targeted interventions based on the indicators originally measured.
Results
« Folks helped me target my business needs with KPIs, which in turn allowed me to make better business decisions. »

$175,000
in just one year!
All these factors contributed to time optimization and improvement of the organization’s overall productivity. Indeed, a decrease in the turnover rate means less time spent on the recruitment process and more time to optimize employee performance management and business processes!
More concretely, the consultant calculated time-savings of 4,000 hours in one year by comparing timesheets from two consecutive years. Production was the same from one year to the next and the product did not change. However, in the second year, employees worked a total of 4,000 fewer hours than in the previous year.
Conclusion
Therefore, Folks HR has clearly become an essential tool to help the consultant achieve her objectives, particularly in:
- Providing her with indicators to guide her strategies;
- Allowing her to measure the impact of her actions on the overall health of the organization by comparing different indicators over time;
- Simplifying HR management by centralizing all employee data in one place;
- Adding value to the HR of the organization.
In addition to the significant savings in time and money, Folks HR’s many features brought a lot of benefits to the company, among other things, with employee database software. This would not have been possible without our affordable and efficient human resource management system!
