How LMIC simplified employee onboarding and time off management with Collage

Company

The Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) is an Ottawa-based non-profit dedicated to demystifying labour market information for all Canadians. LMIC supports employers, employees, job seekers, and other stakeholders by enhancing the availability and quality of labour market information. Their team includes researchers, economists, data scientists, and communications professionals, all working to advance Canada’s understanding of its labour market.

Overview

In 2023, LMIC adopted Collage HR to replace their fragmented HR processes. With Collage, the organization significantly reduced administrative burden, improved onboarding, and created a centralized system for managing employee time-off, policies, and document storage.

The Challenge

Before implementing Collage, LMIC faced several HR challenges:

Time-Consuming Manual Processes:
Onboarding was a manual process involving repeated requests for essential employee information like SINs and banking details. Time off requests required managers to track leave using separate systems and spreadsheets, wasting significant time and leading to mistakes.

Limited Functionality:
Their previous HR tools lacked the robust features LMIC needed for recruitment, onboarding, and document management.

Small-Scale HR Resources:
With no full-time HR person in place, LMIC needed a system that was intuitive and easy for all to adopt and manage.

The Solution

LMIC chose Collage HR for its user-friendly interface, robust time-off tracking, and ability to centralize key HR functions.

Centralized HR Management:
Collage provided an all-in-one platform for managing employee information, streamlining onboarding, and tracking time off requests.

Recruitment and Policy Management:
LMIC plans to use Collage to simplify recruitment and make company policies easily accessible to employees.

"Collage has been very helpful for our organization," said Rebecca. "Collage saves us time and makes our processes more efficient."

Key Benefits

Significant Time Savings:
Collage saves LMIC up to 10 hours monthly by automating time off management and onboarding.

Streamlined Onboarding:
Collage simplifies onboarding by automating document collection and eliminating repetitive administrative tasks.

Improved Organization:
Storing all employee documents and policies in Collage ensures everything is easy to find and accessible for both employees and management.

Positive Team Feedback:
All employees have embraced the intuitive system for time off tracking and onboarding. Collage made HR processes smoother and more user-friendly for everyone on the team. Collage is seen as a significant upgrade over Ceridian and Humi, which were previously used for HR automation.
