Ubisense seeks global HR solution from Sage People

Ubisense, an enterprise location intelligence solutions company, has today announced (September 6) that it has chosen Sage People to transform its HR operations in the cloud.

After five months, Sage People is helping Ubisense to unify and consolidate HR operations, ensuring full compliance as an AIM-listed company, dramatically increasing employee engagement.

Nicola Clark, HR director at Ubisense, said: “With 140 employees around the globe, we’re a relatively small business, but our previous system lacked any means to connect and engage our colleagues.

“As our passionate global workforce collaborates to create solutions which drive advances in Industry 4.0, we needed to create a much better sense of being one company. Sage People’s cloud-based HR and People system enabled us to do exactly that.”

Ubisense’s 140-strong global workforce consists of both office-based and remote workers. In need of an accessible and consistent experience which reduces valuable time in which employees were spending overly complex HR processes on, this new union should potentially improve the workforce’s consistency.

Clark continued: “The complexity of the old system meant our small team was extremely stretched. We even considered hiring additional people to tackle the heavy administration required, which surely defeats the object of an HR platform.

“We needed to adopt a cloud-based tool that would be simple and consistent for both our team and the wider employee base to use, increase engagement and keep us compliant.”

With the previous system, the HR team was unable to create even simple reports on demand. So, compliance and reporting was equally as important for Ubisense, particularly as an AIM-listed company.

Chris Rauch, VP, of Sage People, concluded: “We see businesses time and time again struggling to get even basic HR information… despite having invested in online solutions.

“Yet this data should be the very least that organisations should expect. The right HR and technology should have the power to give deep insights into a disparate workforce and provide a consistent experience that engages employees wherever they’re located. I’m proud that we have delivered this for Ubisense.”
