The Client
Decathlon is a renowned sports clothing and equipment retail store operating on 5 continents and employing over 105 000 people worldwide. The company has been on the market for over 40 years and is a leader in its industry.
The Problem
Decathlon owns and operates 15 stores in Bulgaria alone. Despite its size, the company was managing work schedules, payroll and employee related processes manually using spreadsheets.
This hampered operations and led to regulatory penalties and loss of information.
The Solution
We kicked off the project with a thorough discovery process. We conducted stakeholder interviews to understand all pain points, challenges and regulatory risks posed by the current human resources management process. Following that, we went on to design a custom digital platform that combined efficiency, ease and regulatory compliance.
The Challenge
Decathlon’s culture is built around flexibility, while there is significant amount of legislation relating to workload and reporting. The HRM platform had to reflect the work force flexibility while being fully complaint with local regulations. Another key requirement was the platform having less than 2 seconds load time.
Benefits
Reduced cost
We have embedded all regulatory limitations relating to workload into the platform. This has eliminated the large financial penalties Decathlon used to pay because of breaches.
Effortless operations
Management of work schedules and employee-related processes are streamlined through a single platform. Information is readily available to all stakeholders.
Enhanced communication
Communication between employees and HR teams goes through the system. There is no loss of information and everyone is duly notified and up-to-date.
Time saved
There is no manual handling of documents, all is digitalised and stored safely on the platform. Reports are automated and based on regulatory requirements. Easy access to information for payroll.
