As organisations grow, HR functions must evolve beyond administrative processes to provide consistent governance, workforce visibility and scalable people management practices.

Barbeques Galore partnered with Certitude Australia to review, design and implement a contemporary Human Resources operating framework that would support the organisation’s continued growth. The engagement included workforce processes, governance arrangements, policy development, capability uplift and Human Resource Information System (HRIS) implementation.

As a result, Barbeques Galore established a stronger foundation for effective workforce management, improved organisational consistency and enhanced employee lifecycle management.

The Challenge

Operating a national retail organisation requires consistent and effective people management practices across multiple locations, leaders and workforce groups.

Like many growing organisations, Barbeques Galore recognised opportunities to improve how HR services, people processes and employee information were managed across the organisation.

Furthermore, leadership wanted greater consistency in workforce processes, stronger governance and improved visibility of people-related information. The organisation also required supporting systems capable of streamlining manual activities and improving workforce administration.

Importantly, the solution needed to balance compliance requirements with practical day-to-day business operations.

The Solution

Certitude worked closely with key stakeholders to design and implement a comprehensive people and systems improvement program.

Human Resources Framework Development

The engagement commenced with a review of existing HR processes, policies and operating practices.

Certitude then developed an enhanced HR framework designed to provide greater consistency across workforce management activities, improve governance arrangements and support scalability as the organisation continued to grow.

Human Resources Information System (HRIS) Implementation

A key component of the engagement involved the introduction of a Human Resources Information System (HRIS).

The implementation supported more effective management of employee information, workforce processes and reporting requirements. Furthermore, the HRIS created opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce administrative burden and enhance workforce visibility.

Policy, Process and Governance Uplift

Certitude also supported the development and refinement of HR policies, procedures and workforce management practices.

As a result, the organisation established greater consistency in how people-related activities were managed across the business while strengthening compliance and governance outcomes.

Change and Adoption Support

Successful implementation required more than systems and documentation.

Therefore, Certitude worked with business stakeholders to support change adoption, process implementation and capability development, ensuring new ways of working became embedded within the organisation.

The Outcomes

The partnership delivered a broad range of people, process and technology improvements across the organisation.
