Reducing reliance on Excel files by 75%

Faced with these challenges, Polaroid decided to look for an end-to-end solution that could centralise and simplify HR management. After evaluating several options, Personio was chosen for its ease of use and ability to adapt to the company’s specific needs.

"I’ve worked with other HR software and remember how complicated they were to implement and set up. Our main priority was to find the technology that worked for us, not the other way around. And Personio made it possible!" - Julie Gajudo

Personio was chosen because of several key factors. Its ease of use and user-friendly, intuitive interface showed the HR team how easy it was to implement and create new work processes, including automating aspects such as reporting and data analysis with a single click.

Another aspect that set Personio apart from other platforms was its ability to comply with the main data protection and employment laws. Ensuring the correct application of GDPR and current employment laws was key for Polaroid. Lastly, the company’s HR team highlighted the customer service, and in particular the support provided by Personio’s Customer Success Manager, as a key factor in choosing the software. The HR team felt that they were listened to and supported at every stage of the process by the customer service department, from understanding Polaroid’s needs at the outset, to helping them set up and implementing the software.

Since implementing Personio, Polaroid has seen significant improvements in its HR operations. Centralising data and processes on a single platform has dramatically reduced the time spent on administrative tasks and improved the accuracy and consistency of information.

"I love how intuitive Personio’s system is and how the help it offers is available in different forms. As an HR manager, I want to be able to customise reports and export the data at the click of a button. It’s amazing how easy it is to do this with Personio." - Julie Gajudo

Some of the benefits achieved with Personio include the following:

• Reduced administrative burden: 75% fewer Excel files and reports, freeing up time for strategic activities.

• Increased efficiency: seamless, customisable workflows tailored to Polaroid’s specific needs.

• Regulatory compliance: ensuring that all processes comply with GDPR and employment laws.

In addition, the company has been able to better support its international expansion with scalable processes that make it easier to manage employees across multiple locations. Another aspect that has had a significant impact on Polaroid's HR team capability is Personio's organised events and training.

Polaroid’s HR managers couldn’t be happier with their decision to implement Personio. Ease of use, combined with excellent customer service, has enabled a smooth transition and seamless use.

"I recommend Personio 100%. From sales demos through to configuration and implementation. Even now, when we are fully operational with the tool, we continue to receive tremendous support from the team. I’d like everyone to have the same experience." - Melinda Brooks Bray

In short, Personio has not only improved Polaroid’s human resources management but has also provided a robust and flexible tool to support the company’s growth and operational efficiency.
