About Faunt Property Group
Faunt Property Group has been in business for 12 years, providing permanent rentals, property sales, sales and rental appraisals, property management, commercial property management, and holiday rentals. As a growing property business managing a range of real estate services, Faunt Property Group needed reliable HR software for real estate businesses to help manage its HR processes with greater confidence.
The Challenge: HR Was a Guessing Game
Before Happy HR, HR processes and documentation felt like a guessing game for Trent, particularly when it came to employee onboarding software, contracts and policies. He wanted greater confidence that his employees and company were properly protected and compliant.
Why Faunt Property Group chose Happy HR
Trent was referred to Happy HR by his accountant and was drawn to its affordability, communication and ongoing support. He valued having an experienced and knowledgeable team available for HR advisory and support when he needed it, giving him greater confidence that both his company and team were protected.
The Solution: Pro Plan and Guided HR Induction
Happy HR guided Trent through a six-call induction process with consultant Susan, giving him clear communication, instructions and tasks throughout the setup. The Pro Plan gave Faunt Property Group access to guided HR setup and ongoing support, which Trent found was the right level of support for a business of its size. The guided induction gave Faunt Property Group a structured way to establish its HRIS platform, with clear instructions, task setting and ongoing support from the Happy HR team.
The Results
After working with Happy HR, Trent feels much more confident with employee onboarding, contracts and policies, with aligning HR policies with employment law helping give the business greater confidence that its employees, clients and company are protected. With HR policy management supporting these processes, the business has greater confidence in managing its HR documentation and maintaining compliant procedures. Trent described Happy HR as a small fee that is “a weight in gold” for his business. If you’re considering the potential value of streamlining your own HR processes, calculate your HR ROI to estimate the potential time and cost savings.
