Building Agile HR Operations for a Multi-State Convenience Chain
PROJECT INFORMATION
The client is a flagship American convenience store chain operating over 95 locations across five states. With 4,000 employees, they offer fresh meals, snacks, fuel, and essential supplies, aiming to be the "quick and friendly restaurant of choice" for their customers. Known for their focus on freshness and convenience, the client sought to modernize their HR operations to address the challenges of managing a large, transient workforce.
CHALLENGES
The client faced several key challenges, stemming from outdated systems and processes:
- Workforce Management: A transient workforce with high turnover rates created administrative inefficiencies.
- Data Quality Issues: Poor quality data for HR and benefits processes, including W-4 and taxation records.
- Complex Payroll Systems: Managing weekly and monthly payroll across multiple systems was cumbersome and error-prone.
- Paper-Based Processes: Recruitment, onboarding, and benefits setup relied heavily on manual, paper-based workflows.
- Multi-State Compliance: Operating in five states added complexity to taxation and compliance requirements.
RESULTS & IMPACT
Drivestream partnered with the client to implement a comprehensive Oracle HCM Cloud and Taleo Enterprise Edition (EE) solution. The transformation included:
- Streamlined Payroll and Benefits: Consolidated multiple payroll systems into a unified platform, reducing errors and inefficiencies.
- Automation and Digitization: Automated HR processes, eliminating reliance on paper and minimizing human error.
- Compliance and Data Accuracy: Established a reliable approval and audit system to ensure compliance and improve data quality.
- Talent Management Integration: Leveraged Taleo EE to optimize recruitment and onboarding workflows, catering to a high-turnover workforce.
The transformation delivered a state-of-the-art HCM Cloud, Payroll, and Talent Management solution, addressing the client’s operational inefficiencies and high turnover rates. The migration from PeopleSoft HCM to Oracle HCM Cloud streamlined payroll, recruitment, and onboarding processes, while significantly reducing manual errors and administrative burdens.
Drivestream's ability to meet tight deadlines earned high praise from the client’s executive team, ensuring the project was delivered on time and within budget. The new system enabled the client to better manage their transient workforce and support compliance with multi-state taxation requirements.
