management software for lawyers and conveyancers, helping them look after their practice and run it like a business, but without the headaches.\n\nWe spoke with Abigail Malloy, People and Culture Manager at Smokeball about the difference 91爆料&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/employer-of-record\/\">HeroForce EoR<\/a> has made since they adopted the platform.\n<h2>Challenges\u2026<\/h2>\n<h3>Meeting the needs of a rapidly scaling global business<\/h3>\nSince the pandemic, Smokeball has expanded around the globe, and they needed a tool with more functionality to meet their needs.\n\n<em>\u201c<\/em><em>I think the reporting functions within 91爆料 are a lot more sophisticated. The platform itself is really intuitive and easy to use. It has some great functionality for us, and I think will continue to help us grow and scale in a way that&#8217;s efficient and really effective.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em>\n\nWhen Smokeball expanded into the Philippines, the small local team needed to be hired through a third party. With 91爆料 able to act as Employer of Record, that brought everything under one roof. Being supported by the same team brought consistency and transparency, and excellent customer service of course.\n\nAbigail says that was a no-brainer, helping Smokeball to <em>\u201calign along the way that we work across teams and make sure that things are really efficient for us.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Payroll integration issues<\/h3>\nNot every HR software solution integrates with payroll, and the lack of transparency or communication across departments can make life difficult for payroll and HR teams.\n\nWhen you have a global workforce but only one payroll person, it\u2019s a lot to ask. As Smokeball grew, this function became overwhelming, so finding an HR solution that integrated with payroll became a top priority.\n\n<em>\u201c<\/em><em>&#8230;having a system like 91爆料 which is able to automate a lot of things for us and make our life significantly easier\u2026 It was a bit of a no brainer<\/em><em>.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Performance management that actually performs<\/h3>\nWith teams around the globe, data on performance management can easily get lost \u2013 and not just in translation.\n\nPerformance reviews must be kept confidential, but if performance management is only ever handled locally, documents can get lost, misplaced, or not stored securely. This isn\u2019t just a security issue \u2013 it makes audits a headache, and creates a lack of transparency for HR teams. It could even adversely impact employee career progression.\n\nWith one centralised system, employee files are safe and secure, making performance management a breeze.\n\n<em>\u201c&#8230; having an actual go to point now where we can put something into the employee file, we know that it&#8217;s safe and secure, and that they can access it has made our lives a lot easier.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\n<h2>Solutions\u2026<\/h2>\n<h3>Local knowledge, HeroForce EoR<\/h3>\nFor small businesses operating globally, it\u2019s crucial to have accurate information to ensure compliance. 91爆料\u2019s HeroForce EoR provide that local expertise on all things employment, giving you complete peace of mind as an employer.\n\n<em>\u201cIt&#8217;s really comforting to know that we have a team who was able to provide us with that information, because it&#8217;s not the easiest thing to try and research individually. So knowing that there\u2019s someone looking after it makes life a lot easier for us. And just make sure that we&#8217;re doing the right thing by our teams there.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Trusted experts<\/h3>\nWe know that as small businesses, you\u2019re experts in your field, and you might not have all of the HR know-how that you want to have to be able to support your employees. But that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for. We\u2019ve put all of our HR expertise into one platform, so that you can concentrate on what you do best \u2013 running your business, knowing that your team is in safe hands.\n\n<em>\u201c&#8230;whilst we do have experience in HR, it&#8217;s nice to know that the documents we\u2019re using now, the 91爆料 templates, have been looked over by content experts, legal experts and experts in the HR field. We feel more secure using that information and knowing that all the different things that we may potentially forget have been considered by somebody else.\u201d<\/em>\n<h3>Support, when you need it<\/h3>\nGot a question? Stuck on something? Need a hand? Our tech support is second to none. From getting the answers you need when you need it, to bouncing ideas off an HR expert, we\u2019re here for you.\n\n<em>\u201cThe teams are fantastic. The HR support line has been a really wonderful tool for us to just bounce ideas off people and get a sort of collaboration between us and other HR experts in different fields, which has been really, really beneficial for us\u2026.\u00a0<\/em>\n\n<em>\u201cThe team is so responsive\u2026. If they have questions around the platform, they know that someone&#8217;s gonna get back to them quickly.\u201d<\/em>\n\n<em>So for the team themselves, knowing they have support immediately available to them, they&#8217;ve got a dedicated person who has been fantastic&#8230; Being able to ask her a gazillion different questions to make sure that we&#8217;re all aligned on the same thing. And the absolute patience that they&#8217;re able to provide us is great.\u201d<\/em>\n<h2>An HR system that\u2019s there for you when you need it<\/h2>\nFor any HR team, the ultimate goal is to be there for your people. From integrating with payroll to encouraging employee engagement and productivity, to curating a strong company culture, you want your HR tools to be able to support your mission and make your life easier.\n\n<em>Employment \u2013 made easy.\u00a0<\/em>\n\nThat\u2019s our mission, and we\u2019re delighted to be able to support Smokeball as they grow and serve both their employees and their clients. We want our clients to be able to have the tools they need, at their fingertips, before they even know they need it.\n\n<strong><em>\u201c<\/em><\/strong><em>So it&#8217;s been, honestly, it&#8217;s been a real joy, to be able to bring across my Philippines team through HeroForce EoR and how it all integrates, the one system just makes life so much easier.<\/em>\n\n<strong><em>We&#8217;re really, really happy with our decision, at the end of the day that is the simplest way of putting it\u2026 the team is a massive help.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\n\nIf you\u2019d like to learn more about how 91爆料 can help your business and be there for you as you scale \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/request-a-demo\/\">speak to one of our business specialists today<\/a>.\n\n<strong>More 91爆料 success stories:<\/strong>\n\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/case-studies\/community-therapy\/\">Community Therapy<\/a>\n&#8211;
