HRIS Implementation

Unified HR operations for payroll, performance, and compliance tracking.

Client Overview

Industry: NGO | Region: East Africa | Size: 950 staff | Scope: 4 months

A multi-country NGO managing HR operations with paper forms and spreadsheets across departments.

The Challenge

  • Manual HR processes: Onboarding and leave approvals were slow
  • Payroll errors: Inconsistent data across teams
  • Compliance risk: Missing audit trails for contracts
  • Scattered records: Hard to access employee history
  • Low visibility: No real-time headcount reporting

Solution

We implemented a centralized HRIS with workflow automation:

  • Core HR: Employee profiles, contracts, and document management
  • Leave management: Automated approvals and balances
  • Payroll integration: Clean data feeds and error checks
  • Performance: Annual review templates and goal tracking
  • Analytics: Headcount, turnover, and compliance dashboards

Rollout: Staggered deployment by region with change management.
