- Key Responsibilities & Impact
HR System and Data Manager
Tate Gallery
2019.12 - 2022.06
- Within the first 3 months I designed a road map for HR systems improvement and implementation for the next 24 months. Working as the project manager and the business case owner, I successful delivered the first phase of the project which includes the following:
- Activation of the licence key for web reports (RRS) which was not used but had been paid for, this gave both HR colleagues and mangers real time access to newly created dashboards and reports via ResourceLink and MyView saving operation time and giving value for money.
- Activation of the licence key for the configuration of ResourceLink and MyView organisational charts. This helped to engage Tate colleagues and gave them access to line management report and contact data that fed into Tate-net.
- Activation of the licence key for the configuration of ResourceLink gender pay gap report (GPG). This helped to automate the process, allowing GPG to be ran in few clicks.
- MyView branding setup and deployment, using code editor to rebrand Tate MyView with Tate logo and colours for a greater employee experience. This helped to increase employee engagement and increased the use of self-service, freeing up time for HR operations colleagues.
- Configuration and implementation of the managers reports module in MyView. This has been one of the most welcomed modules in Tate by managers as it helped with annual leave and sickness issues given real time and timely access to data.
- The configuration and release of the sickness notification module was another successful and long-awaited module as colleagues were manually completing forms and sending them to HR Operations for manual inputting to ResourceLink.
- Workflow to integrate HR and payroll processes, including line manager changes, create new post, cost centre changes and create employee workflows etc were another very important improvement for business continuity reasons.
