CLOSERSTILL MEDIA
Building data and engagement on a global scale
THE PROJECT
CloserStill Media had identified a key need for a new HR platform with global capabilities. The business had grown rapidly by acquisition and was struggling to be able to manage data and business processes in a consistent way.
ReThinkHR worked with the global team to collate the system requirements. HR specialists and local business unit leaders all provided valuable insights into the functionality they would require from a new platform. After a detailed selection process, the CSM team decided that HiBob was the most suitable option for their teams.
Our team were delighted to continue working with CloserStill to deliver the implementation. The HiBob platform consisted of core HR, configuration of custom data fields, localisation requirements across territories, time and attendance, engagement surveys and performance management.
We also worked closely with HiBob to enable integrations with a range systems including MS Teams, TeamTailor and ADP Workforce Now. We were able to to add operational efficiency and reduce the need for re-keying data, significantly reducing time spent and risk of error.
A range of global teams needed hands-on configuration and training on behalf of the CSM HR team; Our project management allowed the team to deliver the project as quickly as possible.
On completion, we handed everything back over to the CSM team who were then able to effectively manage all of the global system requirements with a high level of understanding and knowledge of the system.

TESTIMONIAL
“We started working with ReThink HR when we wanted to introduce a global HR system for our business. We operate in 6 territories across the world and, at the time, had no consistent and accurate way of managing our people data.
ReThink HR ensured that we had detailed selection criteria which took into account the need for a new system to work well in every country we operate in and also had a clear focus on employee engagement. We have a young workforce and we knew that having the ability to communicate and share good news on a new HR system would be of great benefit for the business overall.
Having reviewed a range of vendors we chose to implement HiBob and the ReThink team continued to work with us to provide additional resource for the implementation, as well as the project management and systems knowledge that our team needed to make it a success.
We have now rolled out the system to every country and added some new acquisitions along the way, all of which has been so much easier than it would have been with our previous system. HiBob has been really well received by the team and the sheer number of posts from employees globally shows that engagement with it is high.
