Easier access to information: Leave, documents, and job reports are easier to find.

ANNUAL LEAVE AND APPROVALS
Making annual leave easier to request and approve
One of the biggest improvements for Brebners has been the ease of requesting and approving annual leave.
Previously, annual leave was documented in Excel. This meant information could be harder to manage, harder to locate, and less clear for employees and managers.
With Evalu-8 HR, annual leave can be requested and approved through one system.
Employees can clearly see their annual leave days, how much leave they have remaining and the information they need without relying on spreadsheets.
This has made leave management more straightforward for both employees and approvers, reducing the need to search through disconnected records.

Probably the ease of requesting and approving annual leave. We previously documented this within Excel, and so now having the functionality to clearly see annual leave days, how many remaining etc has been a big improvement.”
VISIBILITY ACROSS THE COMPANY
Giving the team a clearer view of where people are working
Brebners has also found value in being able to see where people are working across the company.
With Evalu-8 HR, the team can more easily see who is in the office, who is working from home, who is at a client site, and who is on annual leave.
This gives the business a clearer picture of employee availability without relying on manual updates or checking different places.
Brebners has also found value in having job reports in one place.
Previously, these were managed through Excel, which could become messy when trying to locate the right information.
By bringing this information into Evalu-8 HR, the team has a more organised way to access key HR information and reduce reliance on disconnected spreadsheets.

It is also now very easy to see who is in the office, who is working from home, who is on annual leave, etc across the company.”
THE OUTCOME
HR software that helps bring everyday HR information into one place
Evalu-8 HR has helped Brebners bring key HR information into one central platform.
Annual leave is easier to request and approve, and employees can see their allowance and remaining leave more clearly.
Job reports are easier to locate, and the team has better visibility of who is in the office, working from home, at a client site or on annual leave.
For Brebners, the key benefit is having a clearer and more organised way to manage HR documents, leave requests, job reports and working location information without relying on multiple systems or messy spreadsheets.
