The client

 A first-class English county cricket club, Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Yorkshire Cricket Foundation employ over 150 permanent employees as well as a casual staff base with varied working patterns.

Norton Loxley were approached to support them with the selection and implementation of a HRIS (Human Resource Information System).

The challenge

Yorkshire Cricket Club and Yorkshire Cricket Foundation required a HR system to centralise and streamline their HR and payroll processes, improve oversight of HR data and enable improved reporting on key HR information.

The system needed to accommodate the diverse range of roles and working patterns present within the organisations as well as providing a user-friendly solution to employees whilst also integrating with other key functions including finance and payroll.

With much of the work being done by the organisation being seasonal in nature, and with functionality and integration of the needs of the HRIS HR Software being driven by multiple stakeholders, a key requirement of the project was to ensure these requirements were reflected in the chosen solution.

Our solution

Our initial focus on the project was to identify the scope for the system which encompassed a set of core requirements as well as additional desirable features which would further enhance the use of the system. This involved engaging with multiple stakeholders across all levels and teams within the organisations to understand the requirements for the new solution.

Following the scoping phase, we undertook a detailed analysis of current HR systems on the market to identify appropriate options in line with the needs and budget of the client.
