case solution project

J&L a global toy manufacturing company incorporated in the US with 35,000 employees in over

20 countries is in desperate need of an HRIS system. The company’s processes currently are all

manual, apart from payroll which they outsource. The manual process is overwhelming the HR

department and things are falling through the cracks. Employee raises have been delayed. The

employee performance review process has not taken place in more than two years due to the lack

of personnel in the HR department.

Other areas of concern are employee’s benefit, tracking personal leave, vacation time and training

and development. Because of the manual process the company has noticed employee’s taking more

leave or vacation time than it currently allows because there is no information readily available to

them when requesting the time off. This is costing J&L as every time someone in manufacturing

is out, they must have a trained replacement ready to step in to fulfill these tasks.

"With this initiative we are looking to modernize, simplify and centralize our HR processes. This

will increase efficiency in the HR department and improve operations. Particularly when we can

track in real time all employee requested leaves as well as accrued time, this will prove an

invaluable tool when it comes to resource planning.” Marla Treats, Sr. Director Human Resources.

Managed has tasked the human resource department with identifying the most suitable HRIS

system to address all areas of concern. The completion timeframe for this project is 9 months to

launch and successfully train all staff.
