Introducing the new breed of HR

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.

Negative HR experiences limit Barnado’s positive impact
Barnado’s strive to donate as much as possible to their front-line work with children, so needed HR systems that increase efficiency and empower people across the organization.

Transforming current systems without costly disruption
Applaud integrated with Barnado’s existing Oracle ERP system, transforming the HR experience with a focus on data quality, mobile adoption, and self-service.

Engaged employees and improved performance
All 8,000 employees and 22,000 volunteers can now manage and control their data quickly and easily across any device, increasing workplace efficiency.

Underwhelming, Confusing UX
As one of the nation’s leading business solutions provider to manufacturers and retailers, Advantage Solutions needed to modernize their workforce’s experience across Oracle’s HCM mobile and desktop apps.

Modernizing Self-Service and Mobile Apps
Applaud transformed the user experience of Oracle’s desktop and mobile interfaces, streamlining journeys and increasing productivity with new Employee and Manager Self-Service features.

Uniting Worlds of Work: From Workday to Oracle
This success meant that when Advantage Solutions acquired Daymon in 2018, they replaced Daymon’s Workday solution with Applaud and Oracle HCM - a decision that benefitted over 95,000 employees.

Seamless HR Experience
MEWA migrated 120 HR Services into their new Applaud environment, including absence and leave booking, overtime logging and approvals and also business travel. 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.
