Reclaiming time for strategic HR

Bartel faced a common challenge in the hospitality industry. With a half-manual, half-automated process, their HR Manager was spending most of her time on routine HR tasks. This setup didn't utilize her expertise and came at a significant cost to the organization.

Clear target

When Bartel implemented Soigné, we established a clear target: recover 8 hours per week from Mandy's schedule, allowing her to focus on more strategic responsibilities. The efficiency gained through Soigné's exceeded the targeted time savings. Here’s a breakdown:

• Attracting candidates: saves 3 hours/week
• First contract: saves 2 hours/week
• Contract renewals & promotions: saves 2 hours/week
• Paying salaries: saves 3 hours/week
• Reporting: saves 1 hour per week
• General support & product efficiency: saves 3 hours per week

Decentralise to optimise

To optimise operations further, we decentralised people management by onboarding restaurant managers directly into Soigné. Managers embraced this change enthusiastically, valuing both their expanded role and the professional experience it creates for people—essential for maintaining Bartel's reputation of being a place to grow.
