Jade was fantastic and honestly we would not have been successful in our implementation without her. She was knowledge in all subjects and helped to ask the right questions. She was most impactful for set up and testing. Given our lean HC organization, we needed her and it worked out perfectly. I would not do another system implementation without a consultant to help along the way.

Consultant Recognized: Akilah Baddoo – did an amazing job leading the project and keeping us on task. She was absolutely phenomenal. Her professionalism and dedication to the team is greatly appreciated. When we implement the HR product we will be requesting her again. Joel Rodriguez was an amazing partner and extremely knowledgeable. He not only helped our team understand how to best utilize the system, but he also encouraged us to review some of our current practices in order to get the best utilization out of the system. Joel worked very hard ensuring that our go live was a success. I was extremely nervous and skeptical, but he worked nights and weekends to ensure that we were prepared and supported. Angela Hoschouer also put in long hours and worked through the weekend to support our weekend shift team members for go live. She is always upbeat and pleasant to deal with. Her response time has far exceeded our expectations. We were truly fortunate to have her on our team. Daniel Romero was instrumental in helping us get through payroll. Our team really enjoy partnering with Daniel and we learned a lot. He is always upbeat and pleasant and we are forever grateful to him. Jody Burton is absolutely amazing. Every encounter with her she was upbeat and a professional. She made setting up benefits fun and we enjoyed working with her. We appreciate the entire team but these individuals that were mentioned were ROCKSTARS!!!

Ed was a dream to work with. He was friendly, prompt, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. For 2024 end of year our small team had a lot going on, and there were days when we didn’t have it all together. On these days, Ed was patient and gave us grace. He saw us through to the end of the project perfectly on time, answered all of our questions (no matter how redundant), and made us feel at ease. As a result, Open Enrollment was a success this year, and the transition into 2025 was smooth.

The knowledge and skills are unmeasurable and I do not believe you can get this kind of support working with UKG. I believe the reason the UKG system works and the opportunity for the customer to understand the system and learn needed characteristics of the system is only possible if you have support that gives the opportunity and we received that with Ryan Gillen and his team. The customer does need to manage their time wisely because this support is something that takes time so make the importance list to full get everything you will need and want.

Open Enrollment in UKG is extremely challenging, mainly because we have a new team within our org with no real system expertise. Jody has gone above and beyond to assist me and my team. She is available whenever I need her and provides tons of resources and summaries to help after we are done with our calls.

Fahim did a great job with helping us setup Open Enrollment within Dayforce. He kept us on track and put in the extra work when needed. I wish Fahim could have helped with the Vendor files as the consultants we received for those were challenging to work with.

The project took longer than anticipated due to challenges with resources, scope, and system issues. For the most part, UKG provided good service and support throughout the project; however, during the final six months, their assistance fell short. When we signed a new SOW in the last quarter, UKG focused exclusively on the new developments and dismissed previous configurations as “out of scope.”
During this critical phase, Dorian and Paula stepped in to support the project. Previously, we had worked with a consultant from HRchitect, but Dorian and Paula went above and beyond in taking ownership of tasks that typically fall outside their usual responsibilities. Their dedication and expertise were instrumental in helping us launch the project on time.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dorian and Paula for any project that requires extra attention and care. Not only are they highly professional and knowledgeable, but they also bring a sense of humor and a positive attitude that makes them a pleasure to work with. It was truly a privilege to collaborate with such outstanding professionals.

Ryan is AMAZING helping us with annual Open Enrollment. UKG Open Enrollment set up is super complicated as it is, but our company, last minuted, added a completely new vendor. What a mess. Without Ryan, we would not have completed Open Enrollment for our team. Then on top of this, it was coupled with horrible, unclear messaging from our Broker who set up the new vendor arrangement, and it was very difficult to understand the parameters, so Ryan had to help us set up the new vendor deduction codes, get conflicting information from the broker, make changes, make more changes, change it back, and then make more changes because the broker was so unclear as to what the new benefit entailed. What a mess!!! We are so thankful Ryan was available to help. UKG was not available.
Ryan brings an exceptional knowledge base, and really helped us get the new vendor going for OE. He is so patient with all the turns & detours we added to this project. We really appreciate him!!!

She helped us make a unique Open Enrollment for a small group of employees who were most impacted from the vendor change, so they could be made whole without changing & confusing the other 400 employee OE sessions. What a mess!!! We are so thankful Jasmine was available to help. UKG was not available. I tried to open a SR and it still hasn’t been answered.

A major lesson learned, was that I should have tried to make some room to do more research ahead of the process to get an idea of how the settings work and to identify how much volume of data we were looking at. Learning after the fact that we had an incredible amount of jobs derailed my plans when I realized we were not prepared as an organization to fully maximize the work that COULD be done for the implementation process.

The “Lessons Learned” for this project is to document key decisions to make the implementation easier. Trying to remember off of tickets or emails only slowed us down.
Another key point is to take the training courses as the project is getting implemented to make sure everyone is learning how to use the software before go live. Trying to catch up on the training while implementing was quite challenging.

I learned that not everything is included in implementation. If you want help with some things or implemented, then it’s going to be an extra charge which wasn’t stated to us up front. UKG contracted with Hrchitect for our implementation so we didn’t know any of this information. This doesn’t have anything to do with the three implementation specialists (Angela, Sarah and Missie). This situation was outside of their control. They were wonderful.
Angela, Sarah and Missie were amazing. I can’t say enough about the three of them. They were always willing to work with us to find ways to make the system work for us especially with some of our quirky setups. They were always there to help when needed and never made us feel like we were a burden, even though I’m sure they had a lot on their plates, managing all of their clients. Their knowledge, attention to detail and passion made a significant difference in our project. I can’t thank these three fantastic humans enough for their hard work and dedication to our project. They are great Implementation Consultants but even better people and it shows when you get to work with them everyday on a big project like this. If you need a consultant for Pro or WFM, I highly suggest Angela H., Sarah F. or Missie W.

The consultant himself is who made this project worth the time, effort and cost. We have a better understanding of what the system can do for us and how to be self-sufficient when we no longer have him available to us.
When working with the consultant, always ask questions as to “can it”, “will it”, “why” or “What don’t we know…” Explain your processes and listen to all suggestions and workflows available. It will make your job and that of the team’s easier.

For anyone with UKG product who is finding poor customer service & product deficiencies, I would HIGHLY recommend HRchitect. It is an ace in the pocket for solving problems. When UKG consistently tells me they cannot do what I need, I can reach out to HRchitect and get a quick resolution. I still have an active case in UKG since 8/30/24 to solve the problem HRchitect’s team helped me with in a few hours on 10/3/24.
When I put in the case at UKG, I put the 10/1/24 deadline, and as of today, UKG hasn’t helped me meet my deadline.
So, for all UKG frustrated customers, let me introduce you to HRchitect. The team is great & they really help me work around insufficiencies of the UKG product & poor customer service.

What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software? What else would you tell us about your project experience?
I think that there is always a great value in finding a partner such as HRchitect in advance of implementation of a software to help identify the processes that are weak and could use refinement in advance of actually creating a system that would not require additional review, outside of necessary changes as the business changes.

Veena was absolutely amazing in building and launching Advanced Scheduling. We learned that she should have been involved from when we started building the timekeeping in UKG WFM. If we would have had her involved from the beginning, it would have been a smoother transition. Nevertheless, she was able to adjust everything and have the system reach its capability. Veena truly is always there and has an amazing work ethic that is not seen lately. Veena was flexible and always there to assist. We are very happy with the project and truly owe it all to her.

Regarding HRchitect, the only lesson I’ve learned is to use them more!
With respect to UKG Pro, I’ve discovered they are unable to support a global customer (despite being told otherwise during the sales cycle). Additionally, most of their non-core modules are not integrated well. They function/behave more like 3rd party “add ons”. Had I known this, I would not have selected UKG Pro and/or its ancillary modules.

There were positive lessons learned. That being a 20-year recruiter who had a previous bad IMPL experience, had their faith renewed with consultant – Michael Bassett.

We are glad that we planned ahead for a 9-month implementation of Dayforce for core HR, payroll and talent modules. The only thing we did not implement is applicant tracking. We chose to use Dayforce consultants to implement each core and talent module. HRchitect supported us with a client-side consultant who has worked with us across all modules. If I were to have done it differently, I would have possibly considered using all HRchitect consultants for module configurations instead. We have been very thankful to have their support throughout this project.

With regards to Chad Brunet from HRchitect there aren’t really any Lessons Learned as Chad was a true subject matter expert whilst also being incredibly patient, helpful and a consistently reliable point of contact throughout the project. On this, I would like to say, it’s not often you can partner with a truly technical whizz on a product/platform who is also comfortable being client facing and engaging. This is not a quality/skill set that should be assumed as the norm and the team found it very refreshing attending calls with Chad.

While they are a little more expensive than we anticipated and from the firm we initially assigned to which is RCMT. RCMT lacked knowledge of both the Pro System and Workforce Management system and was not a great partner in getting things done. We were at major risk of achieving our 1/1/24 go live due to this vendor. Only after we complained multiple times, was Ricky and HRchitect brought in. To try to help answer questions and resolve issues. Thankfully after the initial Phase 1 go live we were fully switched from RCMT to HRchitect and are much more satisfied how things are going.

When we have had Ceridian employees leading implementations, it hasn’t been nearly as organized or helpful as Humam has been.

1) Don’t trust the Ceridian sales people and technical consultants about integrations. We were told that there could be a direct integration with NetSuite for the GL and only found out after the project started, that it was not possible.
2) Make sure that the Ceridian assigned consultants are US based and have a clear understanding of US taxes. Consultants in Mauritius claim to understand taxes and differing tax arrangements, but do not.
3) The Ceridian technical team is less than desirable. The completion of integrations stands at 2-4 months. All communication to them is through the PM and they do not allow for meetings with your technical staff to understand your cloud settings.

In Feb 2023, I succeeded a payroll system (Ceridian DayForce), which had never been updated, validated, and upgraded in the past 15 years. We have been encountering ongoing problems stemming from the erroneous setups here and there. With HRchitect, we were able to clean up many system issues and ongoing issues within a year. As we use the system daily for Payroll, HRM, and reporting, we have to change one part at a time and still have pending matters we would like to accomplish. We also found the quality of Ceridian customer service varies and they lack the speed most of the time. With someone like Mr. Goel totally behind our projects and knows the system/product, our lives have gotten much easier. After all, the system is still all up to who uses it and how we maintain it.

I would suggest bringing HRchitect in much earlier in the process. If they had been able to meet with the UKG client earlier in the process, UKG probably would have been able to sell us more components and we would have had a much better understanding about our entire deployment. They are much more than just a team to help implement. The HRchitect team helps advise and overall design the platform to meet the needs. Bringing them in earlier would only strengthen the UKG delivery.

Daniel and the HRchitect team were extremely helpful. However, we feel that we were totally mislead regarding what UKG could offer us. Unfortunately there were multiple issues which needed to be “escalated” during our implementation and UKG was often unable to resolve or provide answers. Also, often seemed like the 2 separate software systems (Dimensions and Pro) do not properly integrate and communicate with each other. In hindsight we wonder whether we should have chosen Ceridian Dayforce.

A lot of struggles with UKG – however Jasmine is a great partner to work with. She was able to train me on salary plans so that moving forward I will have the ability to input the plans on my own. Jasmine is great and I look forward to working with her more in the future.

HRchitect was an excellent partner. Angela, our consultant in the end, jumped in to help however she could and went the extra mile. Very disappointed in UKG as the software provider and would likely make a different decision based on lessons learned. Without the assistance of HRchitect and Angela, our go live would not have happened.

HRchitect’s Kathryn Lopez and her incredible team came highly recommended to us by their previous/current client, *just* as we were about to embark on a critical, time-sensitive project that was larger and more complex than our previous initiatives. Kathryn and her team exceeded our high expectations, and we immediately hired HRchitect for a new project.
As I watched Kathryn lead the engagement, I couldn’t help but think she embodies the qualities of the rare ‘perfect consultant’ that all advisors strive to be; Kathryn is the ideal, high-performing, client-first, incredibly smart, genuine, and ethical advisor.
Similarly, the HRchitect team, which included SMEs relevant to our project, was also excellent. In terms of intellectual prowess, effectiveness, client-centricity, and efficiency, I’d easily put Kathryn and her team up against the best consultants/teams.
The system we implemented was effective and met our objectives, but the technology vendor’s process included a step or two that we believed could jeopardize an absolutely critical milestone/deadline of ours. Furthermore, it was clear that the technology vendor was understaffed, which we were concerned would impact turnaround times, and only a few of our team members were truly experienced in this line of work. As a result, we were concerned about things going awry and potentially igniting a chain reaction affecting a large number of dependencies and deadlines.
But, no worries with Kathryn at the helm! We felt much more at ease after our first meeting with Kathryn and her team because it was clear that they deeply understood the nuances of the technology, the underlying processes, and the inherent risks. They did not simply dismiss the risks as ‘nothing’ because they had ‘been there and done that’ numerous times; rather, it is *because* of their extensive experience that they assigned each risk the appropriate amount of weight, educated us on the processes and interdependencies, and walked us through ways to avoid them. Furthermore, in addition to relying on their expertise, experience, and the process measures built-in to avoid obstacles and/or delays, it was clear that they had a strong network at the vendor and were prepared to leverage, if needed, to advance things on behalf of their clients. Kathryn is truly that rare perfect consultant, and her team is made up of highly intelligent, agile, client-dedicated, responsive experts who will ensure the project is carried out to the highest quality standards.

HRchitect was our expert cleanup crew, our original consulting team messed up a lot of our business structure. For the amount of time HRchitect had, they turned our project around quickly and fixed multiple issues the other team had caused. I would say to others working with this partner in a similar situation, to be upfront and ask lots of questions about whether or not the business structure is understood before moving forward and to ask if all features will be applicable with the business structure setup. If everyone is on the same page, then it is easier for consultants to help setup and for client to get what is needed out of the software.

The only lesson learned during our implementation is to go with your gut on how you feel about the team you are partnered with. We started out with a different implementation team and then were switched halfway through to HRchitect. This was disappointing at first because we had already spent so much time with the first team, however, Jasmine and Rajib were a blessing in disguise. We would have never met our go-live date without them. They stepped right in and pretty much had to revamp our whole setup because it was not done correctly with the first team. I can’t say enough about Jasmine for spending countless hours day and night with me to make sure we did not push our go-live date.

HRchitect–Ryan Gillen specifically–has been a dream to work with. He is unbelievably responsive and knowledgeable about the product, UKG.
As for the software, UKG, we had no idea it wasn’t an “all-in-one” system when we signed the contract–the sales reps either weren’t aware of this, or neglected to really explain it to us. It’s several modules that feed into a “core” module and the communication between modules isn’t always aligned…. a lot of continuous maintenance. UKG also charges a lot of additional fees for minor updates that we have no choice but to pay as we don’t have access to our environments full configuration capabilities, and per UKG, can’t have full configuration capabilities.

The HRchitect team lead by Marcy Noyce and Jocelyn Daggett were AMAZING. They went above and beyond on several occasions to ensure that our project went live on schedule with the UKG Pro module. This was a complicated process due to our business needs, but they were always extremely supportive throughout.
Regarding UKG as a software platform, a “lesson” I learned is to require more in-depth demonstrations from the vendor. There were two different modules that we ended up purchasing (Recruiting and Advanced Scheduler) that we are not going to implement because the vendor wasn’t completely clear when representing the software’s capabilities.

This Partner Service is a wonderful resource for us in our payroll system UKG. After integration, we had an Account Manager briefly, but he was so good, he was promoted to another role, and we have been without 1 on 1 relational support since then. We mostly have to create cases to get support. We found this partner resource from HRchitect & Ryan, and it was such a relief and blessing.
We met Ryan Gillen when he was our Implementation Specialist during our UltiPro system integration. At that, he was exceptional! He got us all set up and able to run by our first payroll. It was a big job, but he was great! Ryan left UKG after that, and we sure missed his support. His knowledge of UKG systems and BI knowledge & Certification was exceptionally helpful in providing support and resources for us. He is detail-oriented, extremely efficient & resourceful. He is a great teacher, so while we are getting the advantage of support, we are also learning more about the UKG systems in general & BI in particular. We missed him when he left UKG. It was sure a loss for UKG I can imagine.
When I was having difficulty scheduling 1 on 1 support for Year End Processes, I found HRrchitect & Ryan. It was like homecoming. We got our Ryan back!!!
Having this resource available is such a BLESSING. When UKG is understaffed or calls are at a higher volume than expected, it is a wonderful resource to be able to get this supportive assistance from HRchitect. I would highly recommend this partner service to supplement support from UKG. We are utilizing Ryan for ongoing support and projects outside the ability of UKG. We are so thankful to have him and HRchitect available to us. They are terrific Partners to us!!

HRchitect was provided to us by UKG. They used a 3rd party to help with implementing UKG Ready
There was a disconnect with the project manager that was assigned to us, Adam Alexander. From how the project was explained i had assumed he would have been apart of the planning through the entire process. I heard from him 2 times in the beginning of the project and never heard from him again. I thought he would have been there to keep on track? But if he was to pass it off, I wasn’t communicated that. Luckily i had the pleasure to work with Chad Brunet, Implementation Consultant. He and I partnered and he stayed on top of everything. He kept me on track as well. He was very hands on the project and was very willing without hesitation willing to go above and beyond to get me answers or build the system to what we were looking for. He always made last minute meetings to discuss our emails to ensure there wasn’t any confusion. With all of my years of several implementations, may it be a whole new HRIS system or add ons, this was my best experience and i give that credit to Chad. He was very knowledgeable and if he didn’t know something, would investigate it and would get back to me promptly. He didn’t skip a beat. I have had consultants i worked with that i had to keep following up with outstanding items/questions. I did not feel like I had to do that with Chad. I would highly recommend him as the consultant to work with.

Would like for the consulting team to come prepared to each meeting with answers to the follow up items they were supposed to. A lot of the time in each call was spent rehashing was was questioned in the previous call with no specific answer.

Drew was a superb resource. He was the perfect advocate. I felt that when I contacted UKG for assistance, their view was very myopic. The do not look through the lens of a user. They would answer a question but not take other aspects of the system into consideration. Drew was great. His communication skills were outstanding. He was able to help make individuals on our team comfortable with making needed system changes. His analyzation and project management skills are literally the best that I have ever worked with in my career with HRIS post-implementation issues. I was not here during the implementation but he was able to work with me and my team so that they system worked for us.

Without her this implementation would of crashed hard. She was so great that we kept her on for additional 3 years as a HRIS project manager (through HRchitect). I would highly recommend this service from HRchitect.

The software vendor was a mixed bag. Some members were very knowledgeable but others were just frustrating. They also had our employee ID numbers cross over with another company on their server which automatically added a “1” to the end of about 50 employee accounts. Their post go-live support has been awful, with a lack of response and very unknowledgable people.
HRchitect, however, was a great consultant/implementation partner. I would recommend Jacquline and her team, particularly Scott McGrail to anyone looking to bring on a consultant. The below ratings apply to HRchictect and not UltiPro.

Make sure you are staffed appropriately and expect that most of your time spent will just be on the implementation. If possible, delegate your day-to-day work to others ahead of time, once you get into the weeds of implementation, you don’t have much time to dedicate to anything else going on. Also, it’s vital to make sure you comprise a team of members who knows as many details of the way the company works, as possible. When building the system, you are building almost everything from the ground up, and specific details of how things work, especially in payroll (deductions, earnings, etc), are key.
When your goal of go-live hits, make sure you stay on your implementation team to completely finish up any outstanding items you have to address. I found that the implementation team hits go-live and drop off, never following up on the remaining items you had tried to get answers on.

Lesson learned: Work with Steph! Seriously, I simply cannot say enough about her attention to detail, her ability to interpret what we needed/wanted into the limitations of the UltiPro software, and her responsiveness. I’ve done many software implementations in my career but the interactions with Steph far exceeded anything I’ve encountered in the past.

Overall, the project was a positive experience. Best advice would be to have a very experienced project leader internally, who gathers all the needed resources and information prior to the first planning sessions with the vendor. Very important to have a strong IT resource internally who can commit to the time required when system integrations are planned. Our dedicated support representative, Steve Glaser, from HRchitect has been very supportive and patient given many of our team members had no previous knowledge of the software implemented. His knowledge and expertise has made the ongoing maintenance/support process quite painless despite the steep learning curve on our side!

In the continually-evolving world of work technology and software consulting, one question remains constant: What distinguishes a top consultant? Erica Niesse, Executive Vice President of Implementation at HRchitect, shares her insights into the characteristics that define successful HR consultants. Interwoven with HRchitect’s core principles, Erica provides a practical roadmap for companies entering their HR software implementation journey.
Understanding HRchitect
HRchitect is a prominent consulting firm specializing in Human Capital Management (HCM). Their expertise in guiding businesses through the entire HR technology lifecycle has helped thousands of customers of all sizes and industries, strategize, select, implement and support their HCM systems over the past two decades.
More than half of their consulting team comes from a Human Resources practitioner background, allowing them to pair real-world knowledge with consulting expertise.
Erica, with an 11-year tenure at HRchitect, plays a pivotal role in leading the firm’s implementation practices and concierge managed support services. Erica, sharing her perspective on the company’s ethos, believes that HRchitect transcends conventional consulting; they are industry insiders who possess a deep understanding of the complexities of HR technology.
“At HRchitect, we’re not just consultants; we’re HR practitioners who have expertise with HR technology.”
Importance of Leadership and Work-Life Balance
Erica’s professional journey provides valuable insights into the qualities of an organization that matter. When discussing her move to HRchitect, she emphasized leadership and the company’s robust organizational culture, which places a strong emphasis on work-life balance, as the primary factors influencing her decision to become part of the team. In a field where consulting frequently involves exhaustive travel and burnout, HRchitect has always distinguished itself by offering remote work options – a rarity over a decade ago, showcasing the company’s forward-thinking approach.
“When I joined HRchitect, it was the emphasis on leadership and an environment that celebrated work-life balance which truly resonated with me.”
Global Footprint with UKG
Since 2006, HRchitect has firmly established itself as a premier resource for all things related to UKG.
UKG, having undergone recent mergers and acquisitions, has consistently pioneered advancements in HR, payroll, and workforce management solutions. As Erica pointed out, UKG’s recent expansion into global payroll through its acquisition of Immedis reinforces its formidable global presence in the HR industry.
“Our partnership with UKG is about more than technology. It’s about helping customers to drive genuine business transformations.”
UKG’s innovations align seamlessly with HRchitect’s implementation expertise, building synergies that ensure clients succeed.
Maintaining Consistency and Quality
HRchitect stands out among their peers for having the highest volume of customer reviews, consistently receiving five-star ratings and maintaining a remarkably low project team turnover rate. This level of consistency doesn’t happen by chance. According to Erica, the key to HRchitect’s success is their unwavering commitment to exceptional customer service. They aim for long-term partnerships with their clients rather than short-term contracts. Their consultants, who are experts in the UKG ecosystem, bring extensive experience to the table, offering valuable guidance and effective solutions to clients.
“Our vision isn’t about wrapping up a project. It’s about weaving long-lasting relationships that thrive on trust, quality, and mutual growth.”
The Art of Hiring: HRchitect’s Approach
Hiring the right people for your organization is not just about finding individuals with the right skills, but also those who align with your company’s values and culture. Erica highlighted a noteworthy aspect of their hiring approach is that a substantial portion of their members have a background as HR practitioners. These individuals, who have firsthand experience in running UKG payroll processes from the client’s perspective, bring invaluable practical knowledge to the forefront.
These consultants can offer best practices and strategic insights derived from the dynamic nature of HR roles. In addition to their technical expertise, HRchitect places great importance on a strong cultural fit and a collaborative spirit when evaluating potential new hires.
“We don’t just hire for skill; we bring onboard individuals who’ve lived the HR journey and have faced and learned from its challenges.”
The Five Pillars of Excellence
Raven’s project evaluation framework for assessing customer experiences focuses on five key attributes: system expertise, implementation process, responsiveness, consultant quality, and flexibility & adaptability.
When it comes to responsiveness at HRchitect, effective communication is paramount to achieving success. Clients should feel heard, and regular interactions with consultants are instrumental in building trust. With an average of 10 years of expertise in HCM systems, HRchitect’s consultants ensure that clients are guided by experienced professionals who possess in-depth knowledge of the system. HRchitect’s ability to pivot and adapt is invaluable in the ever-evolving landscape of business and technology.
“For us, responsiveness isn’t just about answering a call. It’s about understanding, empathy, and timely guidance.”
Recognizing and Retaining Top Talent
A low project turnover rate often signals high levels of employee satisfaction, indicating that consultants are content and dedicated to their roles within the organization. At HRchitect, a culture of continuous recognition is cultivated through various means such as “shout-outs”, congratulatory emails, and rewards. This, coupled with a strong emphasis on work-life balance, fosters an environment where consultants not only excel but also thrive.
Employee retention speaks volumes about a company’s ethos. Erica reflected,
“Every ‘thank you’, every shoutout, every small token of appreciation – they’re not just gestures. They’re our commitment to going above and beyond for the people in our organization.”
Final Thoughts
For companies embarking on their HR software implementation journey, Erica’s advice is to prioritize long-term organizational strategy.
“Your HR software’s success isn’t in its implementation but in its alignment with your long-term vision and the change management your organization adopts.”
An effective change management process, coupled with comprehensive user training, lays the foundation for a successful implementation. A clear understanding of the current state is equally critical before envisioning the future.
Erica Niesse’s insights, interwoven with HRchitect’s core principles, provide an clear roadmap. HRchitect is a partner that isn’t just about consulting, but about relationships, expertise, and commitment.
“In the ever-evolving world of HR, we don’t just navigate change; we architect it.”
