Empowering Remote Teams and Simplifying HR Challenges

Remote Team Management Challenges for Helping Irish Hosts

HIH needed a system that would allow them to manage their remote team. Being a startup they didn’t know what to expect when it comes to HR requirements. They needed an HR solution that would help them manage their employees that were working flexibly some full-time and others part-time.

“We’ve built up to 24 in a year and none of us was prepared for the HR like the requirements around minding your people and recording your people’s time.” says Angie Gough, CEO at Helping Irish Hosts.

Empowering Irish Hosts: A Helping Hand

“We empower people to host displaced Ukrainians in their homes and since March last year, we’ve placed over 1400 displaced Ukrainians in 650 Irish homes.”, Angie Gough.

As well, HIH runs a big network for other 7000 hosts in Ireland. They offer the right resources to help the people who are helping Ukrainians.

Streamlined and Secure HR Solutions

The fact that HRLocker was very straightforward, simple and easy to huge was a big plus. It took away so many headaches and provided them with many solutions.

Running reports and managing HIH’s remote team time was now possible. Everything was now in one secure place.

“We’re funded by the Red Cross and we have to report to them. The information that is stored for us in HRLocker is really easily and beautifully presented in those reports.”, Angie Gough.

Enabling Remote Work with User-Friendly Tools

Like HRLocker, Helping Irish Hosts team is also working in rural Ireland all over the place. HRLocker’s story is very attractive to them and the fact that our HR solution makes remote work possible and easier is fascinating.

The staff now can record their hours and have a clear idea of when and what holidays are occurring. They are in control of their own work life.

“It’s very empowering as a tool. It allows them to get busy with the real work, speaking to hosts, making matches and the good stuff.”, Angie Gough

Eliminating Admin Hassles with Trusted HR Support

Angie believes that it is very important to have an HR solution. Often when you’re small and just starting up, it’s really easy to get distracted by actual work. Admin tasks can feel scary. So, it’s really good to know that HRLocker and their team are there to support you all the way.

“It’s really good to know that HRLocker is this secure, recognized and really well-endorsed tool that works for huge organisations and for small organisations.”, Angie Gough

Gratitude to HRLocker: Supporting Our Journey

“In our very early development when we did not know what we were doing, you were among the first to support the thing that we were doing and to see the importance of what we were doing and to want to be part of that solution.

So we feel very grateful to HRLocker for being part of our journey and for being willing to let us shout a bit about what we have done and we’ve come really far.”, Angie Gough
