Objectives

Rufus Leonard set out to put in place a centralised resource for all people-based information to reduce the time and paperwork previously involved in communicating and managing HR information. They wanted to ensure the solution is available to everyone in the business and easy to use, mirroring the open and communicative culture of Rufus Leonard and empowering managers to more effectively manage their teams.

Result

The initial objective of providing a centralised repository for HR information has been realised through Octopus. Benefits gained extend across the business. Employees like using it and were very open from the start. They like the ease and convenience of being able to find information about themselves and the business and using automated paperless processes like booking leave on-line. Managers are genuinely empowered to manage their teams better, because of the direct access to information about people in their teams. It helps with day to day issues like checking how many people are on leave before approving holiday, and bigger issues such as the annual review process”.

"The people at Octopus are fantastic. Support is always there when I need it, and they are proactive and exceptionally helpful" - Lucy Kay - Rufus Leonard
