No HR administration in Excel, but one system for all HR tasks
‘No way I’m doing this in Excel,’ thought Wouter when he became responsible for all HR matters at Faqta two years ago. Instead of managing HR administration in Excel and separate documents, Faqta wanted to use a single system to register and oversee all HR-related tasks.
Faqta decided to look for an HR solution because more focus on the company was needed. Wouter wanted to be able to fully focus on the growth of his company. For this reason, he sought a way to streamline and automate as many repetitive HR tasks as possible.
With HoorayHR, we use one sustem for all HR-related tasks. No more Excel!
Why did Faqta choose HoorayHR?
Before Wouter started using HoorayHR, tasks such as leave, absenteeism, overtime, capacity, and contracts were tracked in Excel spreadsheets and separate calendars. It took a lot of time to quickly and systematically keep track of all HR tasks.
‘Maintaining a good and up-to-date personnel administration is super important for us because I want everything to be well organized for all colleagues. But you prefer to spend as little time on it as possible each week so you can focus on your company.’
Which processes does HoorayHR currently help you with?
HoorayHR helps to speed up and optimize the entire process in the field of HR administration. It is no longer necessary to sift through Excel lists and make calculations. HoorayHR’s HR tool does this automatically.
‘I started using HoorayHR so that I wouldn’t spend more than a few minutes a week on HR tasks.’
Wouter implemented HoorayHR himself. The system is very simple; setting up a HoorayHR environment is quickly arranged and no technical knowledge is required, according to Wouter.
‘Employees don’t receive HoorayHR training, they get a login and can get started right away. We are very happy that HoorayHR automates our HR. It’s really easy.’
It works incredibly simply, especially compared to complex large payroll packages. It is literally ‘plug and play’. Within 15 minutes, we had created and invited all employees to HoorayHR.’
