Global HR Transformation: Strategic Global HRIS versus Distributed Payroll

Service Category: Digital Strategy and Alignment

Problem Statement

As our client scaled across borders, its patchwork of HR and payroll solutions created a tangled web of processes, compromising efficiency, data integrity, and strategic data governance. Their challenges included:

  • Inefficient operations
  • Confusion about which system should do what
  • Too many spreadsheets with sensitive information
  • Poor control over data

Solution

We provided a digital roadmap that provided clarity between the distinct roles of Global HRIS i.e.Strategic Data: compensation change history, org. structure, etc. and payroll applications i.e.Tactical Data: earnings, deductions, compliance, etc. Our activities and deliverables included:

  • HR Transactions mapped to automation path
  • RFP ready list of global HRIS requirements
  • A new, simpler map of how their systems should work together
  • Digital roadmap for HR Process Automation with AI

Streamlining HR OPS with AI: Automated Employment Verification Letters

Service Category: AI Innovation and Adoption

Problem Statement

Our client’s process inefficiencies included a time-consuming, manual and labor intensive process for creating employment verification letters, impacting HR operations across global locations and hindering their automation and cost reduction efforts.

Solution

We developed a digital road map and proof of concept leveraging AI and open source integration tools to automate this process. Because of the sensitivity of the data, we deployed an on-premise, open source LLM model and integrated that to internal legacy systems. The solution was front ended with a user-friendly interface. Our solution made use of the following technology:

  • Open source AI model
  • LangChain for AI/Legacy data interconnectivity
  • A user-friendly interface
  • Seamless integration with existing systems

Automating HR and IT Processes via Employee Lifecycle Transactions

Service Category: Enterprise Implementation

Problem Statement

Cascade Clarity principals were engaged to help streamline manual processes between HR & IT. The client recognized the similarity in the data and processes between the two departments when it came to employee lifecycle transactions. For example, Onboarding & offboarding employees, changing roles, and updating personal information had similar impacts on HR and IT systems albeit with different purposes:

  1. HRIS for strategic employee information and organization relationships
  2. IT for maintaining access control across the organization

Redundant processes for identical employee transactions resulted in inefficiencies, delays, and frequent errors.

Solution

We took a close look at their digital setup and created a plan to fix it. We:

  • Installed SyncHR, a cloud-based HR and payroll system
  • Used MuleSoft to orchestrate employee transactions across systems.
  • Implemented “guaranteed delivery” for all transactions
  • Trained technical team for on-going maintenance and ownership
