The Solution
Integrated HR Enables More Efficient Operations
Using Paylocity empowers AUDIENCEX to develop more effective practices for onboarding, employee reviews, compensation, and data analysis.
Soon after arriving at AUDIENCEX, Alejandro made the call to move to Paylocity. “We wanted to move fast with our transition to Paylocity. I knew from experience that Paylocity would be ready on time. Their service is exceptional, especially the data extraction team, and we went live on the timeline we wanted, which was fantastic.”
Streamlined Workflows Remove HR Headaches
With Paylocity, AUDIENCEX has replaced manual work with smarter processes. Paylocity’s Onboarding tool eliminates spreadsheet-based tasks, provides guidance to new starts by sharing company culture and welcome messages from leaders, and keeps HR and managers updated on their progress. Paylocity’s Benefits Administration helps the company manage benefits enrollments and automatically notifies HR about eligibility errors. AUDIENCEX also offers employees quick, easy access to HR documents via Paylocity’s Employee Self-Service, removing the need for HR to print, pack, and mail paper forms.
Unified Data Helps Track Performance and Engagement
Paylocity also simplifies data analysis and reporting, giving AUDIENCEX one location for all HR information. “Paylocity is my source of truth. I feel that I can trust the information and the visualizations,” notes Alejandro. With Paylocity’s Insights & Recommendations, the company can take a deep dive into data such as headcount and retention levels, and monitor key culture and DEI&A metrics, including gender representation. To measure employee sentiment and satisfaction, AUDIENCEX uses Paylocity Surveys to run regular pulse surveys.
Proactive Feedback and Development Improve Talent Retention
Paylocity’s Performance tool facilitates 360° feedback through employee reviews, enabling AUDIENCEX managers and employees to provide transparent feedback and to discuss accomplishments and future goals. HR leaders also use Paylocity’s Compensation solution to analyze pay for each employee to ensure fairness. “Reviews help us identify high performers and those that might consider leaving for roles elsewhere. We can then rethink how we compensate them to ensure we retain our best talent,” adds Alejandro.
The Results
Becoming an Employer of Choice for Digital Marketers
Paylocity empowers AUDIENCEX to cut costs, optimize HR processes, and attract and retain world-class digital and creative talent.
A Consolidated Platform Unlocks Major Savings
With Paylocity, AUDIENCEX has successfully transitioned from disjointed point solutions to a single, integrated HR platform for managing the entire employee lifecycle. Alejandro notes: “Paylocity gives us everything we need for HR in one place. All the tools are always available to us online and on mobile.” By replacing the older systems, Alejandro estimates AUDIENCEX has generated cost savings of more than $1k per employee, which can be redirected to support strategic HR initiatives.
Smarter Ways of Working Boost HR Productivity
By streamlining labor-intensive processes, AUDIENCEX is also saving countless hours of time. As a result, the HR team spends more time focusing on its real purpose: serving the business, connecting with talent, and helping people to grow and develop. “Every manual process we cut saves time and resources,” adds Alejandro. “For example, most companies still mail out W-2 forms. With Paylocity, we just let people know the documents are available via Employee Self-Service.”
Deeper Insights Enable More Inclusive Culture
Higher-quality data in Paylocity also improves accountability and supports more informed decision-making at AUDIENCEX. During regular audits by external investors, the HR team can quickly source data to throw light on trends such as attrition rates and labor costs. And rich DEIA metrics enable the company to develop more inclusive policies for hiring, compensation, and rewards that minimize the risk of unconscious bias. For example, AUDIENCEX has taken steps to ensure equitable gender representation, and is tracking its progress to this goal through Paylocity. Alejandro concludes: “The way that Paylocity is constantly developing ways to bring in information to enable better-informed decisions surpasses any other vendor we’ve worked with. It will help us to optimize our processes across HR and support our ongoing growth journey.”
