The Challenge: Managing HR across a global workforce

With a global workforce and a history of changing ownership, employee data was scattered across various platforms, making it difficult to access and manage.  Tracking employee leave and sickness was often handled manually by individual managers, leading to inaccuracies and inconsistencies.

The pain points

• Decentralised data: Employee information was spread across multiple platforms, hindering data accessibility and creating inconsistencies
• Manual leave tracking: Managers were responsible for tracking leave, leading to inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and time-consuming manual processes
• Limited data visibility: Lack of a centralised system made it difficult to generate accurate reports and track key HR metrics
• Inefficient processes: Manual processes for leave requests, approvals, and tracking consumed significant time and resources

Adopting Appogee HR: A simple employee self-service HR solution

MNI sought an all-in-one solution that would centralise employee data and provide a simple request and approval process for employees and managers. Appogee HR became the obvious choice offering a user-friendly platform with features specifically designed to meet the needs of a global workforce.
