Customer Story ?? The Fed takes back control of their payroll and HR?

The Federation of Jewish Services, also known as The Fed is an influential organisation that employs approximately 400 individuals. After facing challenges with their previous outsourced payroll service, Claire Dawes was brought in to revitalise their payroll processes and help position the organisation for success.??

Claire implemented an integrated HR & payroll system, providing The Fed with valuable data insights at their fingertips. ?

Now with full control of their HR processes, The Fed has gained the flexibility needed to quickly pivot and adapt to new challenges.?

Claire said:?

“Staffology seemed to tick all those boxes for us, but the addition of the HR system was an added bonus. It looked a lot more flexible than what we had in place, and the reporting functionality really blew us away.? It was quite an easy choice when comparing it to other systems on the market, and the benefits that come with an integrated HR and payroll system just made sense for us.”?
