Remote work puts companies to the test

Establishing a highly engaged, effectively trained workforce isn鈥檛 easy 鈥� especially when your employees are dotted across different locations, cities or even countries. The learning platform LMS365 helps companies overcome the challenges. Since LMS365 is built into Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Teams, it ensures that learning opportunities are available at employees鈥� fingertips through any device, regardless of where they are located.

Managing distributed teams is a reality that LMS365 lives by every day too. With 85 employees dispersed over multiple offices in Europe, the US and Australia, remote collaboration is part of the company鈥檚 culture. Keeping track of all employee data, however, became more and more challenging as the company grew.

Zahra Khiare, Head of People & Culture at LMS365: 鈥淎ll managers had their own recruiting approaches and systems of storing employee records. As more people joined the company, HR processes became more complex as well. We needed to find a way to easily involve other people in our processes and unburden the managers.鈥�

A cloud platform as a 鈥榮ingle source of truth鈥�

A centralized HR platform would do the trick. *黑料社 suggested moving all employee data from cross-country offices into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources. Elke Roels, Business Development Manager at *黑料社, explains: 鈥淭his enables all HR managers to work with a 鈥榮ingle source of truth鈥�. No more scattered data across Excel sheets or diverse tools, no more frustrations and mistakes. Instead, employees benefit from a streamlined HR workflow which considerably reduces administration time.鈥�

Zahra: 鈥淲e were already partners with *黑料社 before this implementation was on the table. They know our solution inside out and have a lot of experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR. That鈥檚 why they were the first on our minds when we went looking for HR guidance.鈥�

鈥�*黑料社 was a logical choice for our HRM implementation. They understand how our company works and their extensive HR experience puts my mind at ease.鈥�

Smooth sailing from start to finish

In only two months, the foundations were laid for LMS365鈥檚 modern HR experience. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR, all HR tasks from onboarding to payroll, reporting and learning and development are clearly organized across all international offices.

Zahra: 鈥淚mplementing new software always raises some concerns, since the processes involved are usually very complex. It was nerve-wracking for me at first, but the experts at *黑料社 quickly made me feel at ease. The whole process was completely painless.鈥�

As with every implementation project *黑料社 takes on, the *黑料社 SureValue approach made the journey transparent, manageable and frictionless from start to finish. Elke concurs: 鈥淎s much as we are responsible for the outcome, it鈥檚 also very important for us to work closely together with our customers. By providing them with hands-on training using real company data, we make sure that employees quickly get the hang of the new platform.鈥�

鈥淭he best projects are always the ones tackled as a single team working shoulder to shoulder with our clients.鈥�

Turning to Teams as a communication platform between LMS365 and *黑料社 also contributed greatly to the smoothness of this team effort. Zahra: 鈥淚nstead of continually sending e-mails back and forth, the shared Teams group made our dialogues natural and human. It felt like we were creating real relationships with the people over at *黑料社. Their approach makes implementing new software easy.鈥�

Freed from data silos, ready for growth

Thanks to Microsoft Dynamics 365 HR, every department from Copenhagen to Las Vegas will be able to offer a unified, integrated employee experience. Zahra: 鈥淲e aren鈥檛 blocked by data silos anymore. Everyone in HR has access to important information through the cloud, so any colleague can quickly pick up where someone else left off. Nothing gets lost."

The platform is robust enough to ensure reliability and flexible enough to scale and keep pace with LMS365鈥檚 growth ambitions. 鈥淒ynamics 365 enables us to dive deeper into the employee life cycle and extend HR processes where we need to. By creating a connected and digital HR approach, the solution opens a lot of doors for the future."

鈥淚 expect a lot of doors to open for the future. With the insights the platform provides, it will be easier to choose which door to enter.鈥�

The power of data

One of these doors is toward a future with structured onboarding and offboarding processes. To offer this functionality, *黑料社 add the 鈥榯ask management鈥� feature to the platform. This gives LMS365 an integrated way to assign tasks to the right managers, from job opening to offboarding, without having to switch between tools.

Zahra: 鈥淲e practically live in Teams. Adopting 鈥榯ask management鈥� and synchronizing Microsoft Planner will be a real timesaver. I鈥檓 definitely looking forward to seeing how this will improve the quality of our onboarding and offboarding processes. We鈥檒l be able to measure and evaluate so much more 鈥� and better 鈥� than we ever did before.鈥�
