#BrioEmpowers Brain Juice Collective: Supporting The Modern Workplace
The future of work is here and it's characterised by a dynamic and dispersed workforce. Gone are the days of centralised offices and traditional 9-to-5 schedules. Companies are embracing hybrid and remote work models to attract top talent and foster a more flexible work environment to become modern workplaces.
However, this shift presents a unique challenge for HR departments – managing a geographically scattered workforce effectively requires a robust HR software that can ensure well-defined processes and future scalability.
Brain Juice Collective is one of these organisations embracing the future of work.
Brain Juice Collective is a Singapore-based consultancy empowering individuals and organisations to do well while doing good. Time and energy spent on manual HR tasks like onboarding and offboarding, payroll, leave management and claims would be time and energy taken away from supporting clients on their impact and innovation journey.
Before switching to BrioHR, the company’s management and admin team answered questions about leave policies almost daily. They were also spending precious time compiling and verifying claims manually.
Tiziana Tan, Founder and CEO at Brain Juice Collective, says “Shifting to BrioHR from our previous HR solution has allowed us to focus on scaling and deepening our impact with our clients. As an entrepreneur and CEO, my priority is to run a tight ship by offering effective structures and solutions that allow my team to create the best work they can. BrioHR has helped us remove administrative roadblocks and provide management with accurate and consolidated data that can inform smarter decision-making for people and culture.”
“I also love going through team member profiles where I can read entertaining bios and see personal photos uploaded by the team. These little touches make all the difference especially when our team is distributed,” she adds.
Focusing On Work That Matters
Empowering Teams Across Geographies
With a fast-growing team spread across two countries, the company needed a solution that would allow effective management of two offices with variations in its payroll arrangements, leave policies and currency of claims.
BrioHR came in to do just that. Its customisable modules allow teams to set specific policies like claim cut-off dates, limits on specific claim areas like medical support and special leave categories like the company’s Just Need A Break policy that gives team members 2 additional days of leave every month. Team members can easily apply for leave and submit claims within the pre-set boundaries and can even submit claims in the relevant home currency. The shared leave calendar also means the team can easily plan and cover for one another.
“The kind of features and flexibility that BrioHR offers at even basic tiers of the product is seriously impressive. We thought what we needed would require customized enterprise solutions and were surprised by what we could do with the plan we were on. The platform is so easy to use that the admin team can get new hires on board in less than a day!” Kristia Domingo, Senior Administrative Executive at Brain Juice Collective, shares.
Seamless Transition
The company was using a different HR software previously and had just onboarded a new HR team member. This meant they needed extra support to ensure the migration was swift and comprehensive.
“We were impressed by BrioHR’s dedicated support during the migration phase where we were given helpful checklists of data we needed to export, policies we needed to put down for the team to help with the initial customisation and even workarounds. Our solutions consultant was astute in advising us on modules we needed while our dedicated implementation manager was responsive and creative in adapting to our required setup. The team continues to offer high-quality and quick support whenever we have questions,” shares Jane de Vera, Country Manager (Philippines) at Brain Juice Collective.
