The challenge

The GLA is London’s top-tier administrative body. It needs to ensure that the information the HR department gives to employees is both consistent and reliable. For this reason, Senior HR Manager Patrick Alleyne was looking for accurate HR compliance resources and guidance that could be accessed by everyone on the team.

The GLA is a public body, so it is particularly important that the advice and guidance that it gives is clear and up to date. “You need reassurance that the information and resources will offer you the most accurate and helpful material which you know you can rely on,” says Patrick.

The results

“Once each person had an account, they could just log straight on and access the information immediately,” says Patrick. He thought that the HR & Compliance Center stood out above the competition. “It’s so simple; and as long as you can navigate the web, you can use the HR & Compliance Center.”

The GLA users particularly like the interactive flowcharts, which guide them through a range of HR procedures, making it an excellent development tool for less-experienced staff.

Additionally, the detailed how-to guides provide practical advice for managing workplace situations. “These guides are great when reviewing the GLA way of doing things and revising and updating processes to reflect the prevailing climate,” says Patrick.

The GLA team finds that, by setting up their own HR & Compliance Center profiles, they save valuable time as they receive information specific to their topics of choice. “The HR & Compliance Center allows you to select topics which are relevant to you. You receive alerts via email on key topics.” As a result, Patrick’s team is alerted immediately to changes affecting them, ensuring that they remain compliant and up to speed with leading practices.
