Problem  

When PassTime GPS, a player in the Automotive IT industry, first approached our HR company, they were contending with significant challenges stemming from a challenging HR system implementation and the absence of a dedicated internal HR team to oversee their 60+ employee organization. Managing HR through a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) had proven to be cumbersome and less efficient for the company, leading to a need for a more comprehensive and strategic HR approach. 

Solution 

To address PassTime GPS’s challenges, our HR company initiated a series of solutions and services. We began by conducting a thorough HR audit along with establishing a bi-weekly meeting with key stakeholders to identify priorities and areas of improvement. We established a closer connection with the PEO that eliminated the need for internal leaders to manage PEO-related tasks, ensuring a smoother and more effective HR operation. We implemented Lattice, a performance evaluation tool, to streamline the evaluation process and enhance overall performance management. Additionally, we updated and manage the company’s handbook, conduct an annual compensation analysis, address employee relations issues, and continue to improve onboarding and offboarding processes.

Results 

The HR audit and subsequent interventions significantly improved the management of HR functions, providing clarity and efficiency and reducing the HR burden from internal leaders. The implementation of Lattice and the updates to the handbook streamlined processes, fostering a more organized and compliant workplace. The closer connection with the PEO ensured a smoother collaboration, reducing the burden on internal leaders. Overall, PassTime GPS gained a more robust and strategic HR foundation, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the Automotive IT industry with greater ease and efficiency.
