Bringing Transparency to Life

Three months in, he received a notification reminding him to review the goals of his trial period, with the next one scheduled for the six-month mark. “When you're deeply involved in a customer project, you tend to forget about these things,” Rudolf says. He also appreciates the performance reviews conducted at the end of each month.

Each consultant receives an email detailing their performance compared to their goals, consolidating all the necessary information and delivering it directly to the employee. Without this customized action, employees would need to navigate various systems to check their utilization rate, hourly rate, and goals from different sources.

Behind what seemed like personalized and supportive communication was actually the automation facilitated by Introist, an HR automation platform. These messages could be emails or Slack messages, reflecting a strategic effort to ensure transparency, care, and seamless workdays for employees while reducing reliance solely on human memory.

“We want our employees to actually utilize the benefits they are entitled to. Without proper transparency and communication, their vacation days or work permits might expire. Moreover, both supervisors and employees are clear about their expectations, allowing them to concentrate on their work without the need to log into different systems or seek information from various sources. The best part is, that we can do all this without burdening the HR,” explains Katja Kainulainen, HR Operations Lead at Futurice.
