CIPHR, a leading UK provider of SaaS people management solutions, has joined forces with HR tech start-up OurPeople to help organisations communicate even more effectively with their workforce.
The new partnership will particularly benefit organisations in industries that employ large numbers of frontline, deskless staff, temps and seasonal staff, or gig workers, such as health and social care, hospitality, leisure, retail, logistics, utilities, manufacturing, and local government, among others.
Linking CIPHR’s powerful HCM platform, CIPHR Connect, with OurPeople’s intuitive communication and engagement app ensures that all relevant employee details are updated across both systems. For example, any changes to records in CIPHR HR, such as new starters and leavers, are automatically reflected in OurPeople’s data, so any vital company messages and broadcasts, including images and files, sent via the app (or SMS) reach the right people at the right time.
Megan Hope, partner manager at CIPHR, comments: “I’m delighted that CIPHR is entering this exciting partnership with OurPeople. Our two businesses already share a number of mutual customers across multiple sectors and, as hybrid and remote working continues to be the norm for many workers in the UK, I expect our joint proposition to become increasingly popular.
“Deskless workers – from nurses and delivery drivers to supermarket staff, make up a significant part of the UK workforce. But they don’t always have access to the same levels of day-to-day management communication and knowledge sharing as their desk-based colleagues. And, if employees don’t feel included, they often don’t feel connected or engaged or part of the wider team.
“Good communication really is key to improving team connectivity and boosting engagement levels, which, in turn, aid staff retention and productivity, and help build long-lasting success. That’s why it’s so crucial to have the right tools that enable organisations to communicate with their people quickly and clearly.”
