The HR challenge for Kids Resort
Before Happy HR, keeping HR information organised and accessible was a challenge for Kids Resort.
The team wanted to move away from having important HR information spread across different files and bring everything together in one secure, cloud-based system.
Kids Resort was also looking for an HR partner that could help keep employment contracts and HR policies up to date with the Fair Work Act, while supporting the business to maintain ongoing compliance.
Managing other key HR processes, including recruitment, inductions and performance management, was also becoming challenging.
Why Kids Resort chose Happy HR
Kids Resort was introduced to Happy HR through a colleague who had experienced good results with the platform.
For Antoinette Puopolo, Director of Kids Resort, the combination of HR software and ongoing professional support made Happy HR the right fit.
With Happy HR, Kids Resort was able to:
- Bring HR information and documentation together in one cloud-based system.
- Keep employment contracts and HR policies up to date.
- Get support with Fair Work compliance.
- Better manage recruitment and employee inductions.
- Support performance management processes.
- Access qualified HR professionals when advice or assistance was needed.
- Use HR documents tailored to the early childhood education industry.
