Launching a new HR and payroll platform is a major milestone for any organization. It signals a move toward greater efficiency, enhanced compliance, and a more connected employee experience. At Yomly, we believe a successful Go-Live goes far beyond technical implementation, it’s about aligning processes, empowering users, and ensuring every team feels confident from day one.
Recently, Yomly partnered with INSEAB (formerly Shamal Holding) to successfully onboard their growing team onto the Yomly platform. This journey culminated in a comprehensive Go-Live enablement program designed to guide employees through the system and support a seamless transition into daily operations. With over 70 employees across the region, INSEAB is now equipped with a unified HR and payroll solution built to support both local and regional teams.
Building a strong foundation before Go-Live
Ahead of launch, the Yomly and INSEAB teams worked closely to ensure every aspect of the rollout was aligned with real operational needs. This preparation phase included:
- Defining onboarding timelines and key success milestones
- Configuring the platform to reflect INSEAB’s HR and payroll workflows
- Setting up role-based access for HR teams, managers, and employees
- Validating employee data and approval structures
- Embedding compliance requirements across processes
This collaborative approach ensured the platform was not only technically ready but fully optimized to support INSEAB’s day-to-day operations from the outset.
Tailoring Yomly to match INSEAB’s operational structure
Every organization is unique, and Yomly’s flexible configuration allows the platform to adapt accordingly. For INSEAB, this meant setting up:
- Organizational structures and reporting lines
- Employee records and documentation workflows
- HR request processes and approval journeys
- Policy-driven rules for HR actions
- Payroll-related data configurations where applicable
By aligning Yomly with INSEAB’s existing structure, the platform now operates seamlessly within their business while introducing automation to drive efficiency and accuracy.
Go-Live enablement sessions: hands-on training in real scenarios
To ensure strong adoption, Yomly’s Training Consultant, Paula Gerardo, led two engaging enablement sessions: A virtual session for INSEAB’s team in Saudi Arabia and an on-site session at their Dubai office in DIFC.
Live platform walkthroughs
During the sessions, employees were guided through key areas of the Yomly platform, including:
- Navigating the system interface
- Accessing employee profiles and information
- Submitting HR requests and tracking progress
- Manager approval workflows
- Key dashboards and reporting views
These walkthroughs allowed teams to experience firsthand how Yomly supports everyday HR and payroll tasks.
Practical, scenario-based training
Rather than focusing purely on features, the sessions were built around real use cases employees would encounter, such as:
- Updating personal information
- Uploading documents
- Submitting and managing HR requests
- Following approval flows
- Understanding roles and responsibilities
This hands-on approach helped build confidence and accelerate adoption from day one.
Strong engagement and meaningful discussions
INSEAB’s team demonstrated high engagement throughout the sessions, asking thoughtful questions and exploring best practices for daily operations. Discussions covered:
- Tips for faster platform navigation
- Approval workflows across different scenarios
- Efficient handling of common HR actions
- Clarifying user responsibilities
- Best practices for smooth processes
These interactive conversations are a key driver of long-term success, helping teams align on consistent and efficient ways of working.
Ongoing support beyond Go-Live
Yomly’s partnership with INSEAB continues well beyond launch day. Our team provides:
- Regular check-ins with key stakeholders
- Ongoing technical and user support
- Adoption monitoring and optimization
- Additional training as needed
This continuous enablement ensures INSEAB continues to unlock maximum value from the platform as their business grows.
Empowering people for long-term HR success
A successful platform launch is ultimately about empowering employees with the right tools and knowledge. INSEAB’s Go-Live journey highlights the importance of strong preparation, hands-on training, and close collaboration in achieving a smooth transition. We’re proud to welcome INSEAB to the Yomly platform and look forward to supporting their ongoing HR and payroll transformation.
