About Elders Real Estate Miles
Business overview — Jon Kingston is the Licensed Principal of Elders Real Estate, running successful businesses in Miles and Chinchilla, Queensland.
The Challenge: Scattered HR as the Business Grew
As the business grew, Jon wanted to manage all of his HR in one place rather than handling different HR functions separately. He was looking for an all-in-one platform that could bring performance management, onboarding, KPIs and HR support together.
Why Elders Real Estate Miles chose Happy HR
As the business grew, Jon wanted an all-in-one HR platform that could bring performance management, onboarding, KPIs and HR support together in one place.
The Solution: Performance, Onboarding & HR Support in One Platform
Performance Management & KPIs
Happy HR gives Jon a centralised way to manage performance management and set KPIs from one location. Having these tools together has made his HR management more productive, efficient and cost-effective.
Employee Onboarding
With onboarding available through the same HR platform, Jon can manage another key part of the employee lifecycle from one place. This contributes to the streamlined approach to HR that he was looking for as the business grew.
HR Advisory Support
As the business grew, Jon was looking not only for an HR platform but also for ongoing HR support. He says Happy HR is always there when he needs support, and describes the service as outstanding.
The Results
Happy HR has helped Jon make his HR management more productive, efficient and cost effective, while giving him the confidence that premium HR support is available whenever he needs it. With businesses operating across regional locations, having access to an HR mobile app can also provide greater flexibility when managing HR away from the office. By bringing key HR processes together in one place, Jon has been able to save time and manage HR more efficiently. Calculate your HR savings to see what streamlining your own HR processes could mean for your business.
We have now worked with Happy HR for a number of years in the different companies I have run and have found the Software easy to use and the support outstanding. If I need Happy HR, they are always there to support me.
