The Challenge
Before implementing Yomly, the Sharjah English School team faced significant challenges in managing their HR & Payroll processes. The team operated without a dedicated HR system, relying on manual processes that were time-consuming and prone to errors. Payroll reporting, in particular, was cumbersome, requiring extensive effort and preparation, especially during audits. ”We were looking for an intuitive system that would help automate our HR & Payroll tasks and report on data,” says HR Manager, Gemma Holloway.
As the demands on the team grew, the need for a more efficient and data-driven HR system became evident. Sharjah English School sought a solution that would reduce manual workloads, enhance reporting capabilities and streamline HR and payroll functions.
The Solution
After hearing about Yomly through word of mouth, Gemma Holloway decided to explore its capabilities. “The key factors that made Yomly stand out were its ease of use and robust payroll and HR functionalities. The platform has provided significant improvements in efficiency and reporting” says Gemma, reflecting on how Yomly now supports her and the wider HR team. To ensure a smooth transition, Gemma and her team received thorough training before the system was rolled out to employees. Gemma highlighted the support she received from Yomly’s team, commenting “Yomly’s Project Manager played a crucial role in implementation, offering valuable guidance.”
Since adopting Yomly, the team at Sharjah English School has “experienced noticeable improvements in our HR operations. Payroll reports have saved our team days in audit preparation, making the process a walk in the park.” says Gemma. “Additionally, the discovery of new modules, such as Performance Management, has further enhanced our operational efficiency. One of the most impressive aspects of Yomly has been the support from our Customer Success Manager, Aman, who has provided exceptional assistance throughout the journey. While some manual processes still require adjustments to meet our specific needs, Yomly has contributed to our increased productivity.”
Looking ahead, Gemma and her team plan to explore further enhancements, particularly in Performance Management, to maximise the value of Yomly’s HR solutions.
“Since implementing Yomly, we have experienced noticeable improvements in our HR operations. Payroll reports have saved our team days in audit preparation, making the process a walk in the park.”
