Hamptons International employs approximately 800 staff across 70 sites. Hamptons were utilising a variety of solutions to provide support and administration to the HR process, but with no integration between the systems.

The key issues affecting the business are:

• No central specialist HR solution representing the core source of all people-related information within Hamptons.
• Currently, significant amounts of HR support, administration and process are managed through manual, labour-intensive processes, frequently involving duplication of data entry into multiple systems.
• Lack of systems integration between Recruitment, HR and Payroll, further increasing administration, data entry and increasing the risk of inconsistencies and inaccuracies of data.
• Lack of ‘ownership’ of information within the business.
• Lack of access to relevant information for staff and managers.
• Lack of consistent, accurate and, most importantly, pro-active management information to assist in driving the business forward.

Hampton’s main objectives were prioritised as follows:

• Improve group management reporting and analysis.
• Provide a single, integrated HR, Recruitment and Training solution, eliminating duplication of data entry.
• Improve systems integration with existing Hamptons systems, such as Active Directory and the Northgate Resource Link.
• Enable comprehensive self-service facilities to provide managers and staff greater and faster access to relevant strategic business information.
