See what happened when these organizations opened up consumer-grade technology to their teams below. ![National Trust Applaud HR UI](https://www.applaudhr.com/hubfs/case-studies/NationalTrust-StackWEB-Square-468.jpg) ![National Trust](https://www.applaudhr.com/hubfs/images/homepage/nt.png)     **The compromise of current systems** As a business built on its people, The National Trust needed a HR system that would empower its 12,000 employees, not limit them with complex, inaccessible, disjointed experiences. **Transforming systems to power people** Connecting to their current system, Oracle MYplace, Applaud maximized their initial investment, transforming experiences across the full HR journey, from recruitment to self-service. **Engaged employees, candidates and managers** Delivered a ROI within the first year, increased the number of candidates applying for jobs, reduced the time for hire and won a nationwide award.

Critically, when COVID-19 hit MEWA were well-positioned to communicate efficiently and quickly with their entire workforce. **Modernizing Self-Service and Mobile Apps ** MEWA were able to shut down Oracle self-services with new and improved versions on their Applaud platform. With 100% adoption on their desktop platform, mobile apps are now being phased in.  **Efficient and Satisfied Employees** Employee satisfaction with the system was 90% within the first 6 months. Employee efficiency improved throughout the Ministry with cleaner, intuitive navigation and easy-to-use services.

It sought to advance its digital innovation strategy, improve the user experience for its employees and expand its digital services for users. **Supporting administrative and front-line workers with next-gen technology.** Applaud helped HR increase its level of support for its front and back-end workers by simplifying its HR support system and offering one place for all their employee and manager needs.  **Achieving savings of over £1 million.** This project has been a huge success, with Applaud saving the hospital between £1 million and £1.5 million.

HR was also burdened with repetitive, transactional tasks, limiting their capacity for strategic initiatives.  **Offering a best-in-class onboarding experience** Leveraging Applaud's creator platform, ten processes (including background checks, IT asset allocation, E-sign) associated with onboarding were rebuilt and automated using the powerful workflow engine.  **80% reduction in onboarding enquiries** After launching the project, AngelOne saw 80% reduction on onboarding enquiries and a 9.1 onboarding score.  [Full case study](https://www.applaudhr.com/case-studies/angel-one-creating-a-seamless-onboarding-experience) ## Bringing the worlds of consumer and employee technology closer together The Applaud HR platform gives employees the same exceptional technology experiences at work as they expect in their everyday life, as consumers.
