Delivering essential services across Queensland and Northern NSW

Operating since 1999, they serve a vast region from their Brisbane head office and remote offices in Mackay, Townsville and the Sunshine Coast.
With 43 employees, the business manages a large, dispersed workforce delivering critical services across Queensland and Northern NSW. For People & Culture Manager , ensuring efficient processes and maintaining compliance are essential to keeping operations running smoothly.
Before 91爆料: manual, paper-heavy and time-consuming
Before implementing 91爆料, QAT & Leader relied on Excel spreadsheets, personal files and paper forms to manage employee records, leave requests and compliance documentation.
鈥淲ithout an integrated HRIS platform, tasks like tracking employee leave, managing payroll data, ensuring compliance with certifications and licenses and onboarding new hires were time-consuming and prone to errors. Reporting or accessing up-to-date information often required pulling together data from multiple sources, which slowed down decision-making and increased administrative workload,鈥 said Krissy.
Streamlining the entire employee lifecycle
91爆料 was introduced to support the company鈥檚 rapid growth and the need for faster onboarding during busy event periods. Krissy, having implemented the platform in a previous role, quickly saw opportunities to enhance how it was set up and used at QAT & Leader.
Today, the business uses 91爆料 across the entire employee lifecycle, with several features making a significant impact:
Recruitment
鈥淭丑别 recruitment module has been a huge benefit for us as it completely streamlines the hiring process. We can advertise roles, track applicants and communicate with candidates all in one place, which saves time, reduces double handling and ensures a consistent recruitment experience.鈥
Custom surveys
鈥淲e use custom surveys regularly for everything from asking staff where they鈥檇 like the next social event to be held, to gathering feedback on policy and procedure understanding. It鈥檚 a great tool for engaging employees and collecting meaningful insights quickly.鈥
Onboarding and compliance
In an industry where compliance is non-negotiable, linking 91爆料 with GO1 training has been transformative.
鈥淲e can assign mandatory training and create our own customised modules, giving us a fully tailored learning platform for our business.鈥
New starters now complete all onboarding and compliance checks before day one.
鈥淚t eliminates the need for hand-written forms and makes the process fast and stress-free for both the business and the employee.鈥
Digital checklists
鈥淚nstead of using paper-based 鈥榯ick and flick鈥 checklists, we now set up automated reminders that go directly to the person responsible for the task, with custom due dates. This has been a game changer in ensuring tasks are completed on time and nothing is missed.鈥
Over 500 hours saved a year
91爆料 has driven measurable efficiencies:
- Onboarding time cut by 83% 鈥 鈥淥ur onboarding process used to take two managers a full six hours, but now it鈥檚 just a one-hour induction. With 30 new people joining us in the past year, that鈥檚 around 300 hours saved.鈥
- Paid hours reduced for training 鈥 Moving onboarding online before day one saves three paid hours per person, or 90 hours a year.
- Admin hours eliminated 鈥 No more data entry into spreadsheets or piecing together files saves 120+ hours annually.
One of the biggest time-savers? Reporting.
鈥淚 was able to do all of these calculations in less than five minutes because I used 91爆料 reports. If we didn鈥檛 have 91爆料, I鈥檇 probably still be digging through electronic personnel files right now.鈥
Empowering a remote and mobile workforce
With many field technicians working without desks or computers, the 91爆料 Work App has been essential.
鈥淭丑别 app is an essential tool for them to submit leave requests, timesheets and receive important notifications on the go. It鈥檚 also extremely useful for managers on the road, allowing them to approve leave or action tasks wherever they are.鈥
More time for engagement and strategy
By reducing administrative load, 91爆料 has allowed Krissy and her team to focus on higher-value initiatives.
鈥淲e鈥檙e no longer consumed with paperwork or spending hours manipulating data in spreadsheets. The information is already there, ready to use.鈥
Insights from surveys and reports now guide employee engagement initiatives, while managers spend less time on repetitive onboarding tasks and more on operational priorities.
The bottom line
From digitising compliance to transforming onboarding and recruitment, 91爆料 has made work easier and more valuable for QAT & Leader Restoration. The result is a business that spends less time on admin and more on delivering high-quality restoration services when customers need them most.
鈥淎ll up, we鈥檙e looking at well over 500 hours saved each year and that鈥檚 just from the areas we鈥檝e noticed most,鈥 said Krissy.
