Customer story
How Calvert Lakes Improved HR Management with Evalu-8
Calvert Lakes is an activity centre for disabled people, operating a 24/7 service where employee information, rotas, absence records and HR reporting need to be clear, accessible and reliable
The Challenge
- Key HR information was managed through spreadsheets, with employee files only accessible to one person.
- Line managers relied on HR to record absence and access employee information.
- KPI reporting was time-consuming and not always accurate.
The Solution
- Evalu-8 HR provides one central place to manage employee information, absence records, and reporting.
- Line managers have better access to the information they need, reducing their reliance on HR.
- Less time spent on administration, with easier access to KPIs, absence information, and employee records.
Why teams choose Evalu-8
Less time on admin
Reduce time spent updating spreadsheets, managing absence records and preparing monthly HR reports.
Greater manager independence
Give line managers access to the information they need without having to go through HR for every update.
Clearer HR reporting
Access accurate HR data, track absence trends and produce KPI reports more easily.
SIMPLER ABSENCE MANAGEMENT
Giving line managers a clearer way to record and monitor absence
One of the biggest process improvements for Calvert Lakes has been sickness absence recording .
Previously, line managers needed to contact HR to share absence information, which created extra admin and took time away from more strategic HR work.
With Evalu-8 HR, line managers can upload sickness absence information directly into the system.
HR is then notified when absence information is added, helping the team stay informed without relying on manual updates or repeated calls.
The HR team can also run a monthly report to check that the right actions have been completed.
This has created a more efficient absence process for managers and HR, while giving the business better visibility of absence information.

The recording of sickness absence from line managers has been the most efficient, as line managers upload the information, HR get notified, and I run a monthly report to ensure all action has been completed.”
FASTER KPI REPORTING
Turning time-consuming KPI reporting into minutes, not hours
Before using Evalu-8 HR, KPI reporting was time-consuming and not always accurate.
With employee data in one system, Calvert Lakes can access the information needed for HR reporting much more quickly.
Instead of spending hours pulling information from spreadsheets, KPI reporting can now be completed in minutes.
Evalu-8 HR has also helped the business gain better insight into people management trends.
By analysing patterns, HR can see where managers are managing their people effectively and where issues may need attention.
This helps the team move beyond day-to-day admin and use HR information more strategically.

My KPIs are done in minutes rather than hours.”
