Property giant Cushman & Wakefield nets a better HR system

Global real estate solutions company Cushman & Wakefieldís has chosen to replace its existing HR system with Vizual Business Toolís HR.net solution.

Focused on providing maximum opportunities for property owners, investors, occupiers and the broader community, Cushman & Wakefield employs over 11,000 people across 192 offices globally. With its emphasis on recruiting, training and retaining the most experienced and talented professionals, it needed a powerful, scalable and multi-lingual HR system with rich, flexible functionality.

After a phased rollout across the UK and Europe during 2007, Cushman & Wakefield will use HR.net to automate its core HR processes, to provide a centralised view of training needs and accreditations and to streamline and automate graduate recruitment. Sam Woodhouse, associate director of human resources at Cushman & Wakefield said, ìIn a busy international HR department like ours, an easy to use system that immediately liberates us to concentrate on the most valuable work is vital. We chose HR.net because its browser based user interface is simple, intuitive yet rich, it is ready to use out of the box and its inherent process automation capabilities meet our need to automate best practice.î

HR.net is a single system covering the entire HR function, from employee hiring, on-going care and interaction, through to exit management. It allows users to automate any business process, helping to reduce their administrative burden and to focus on business-critical tasks. It is easy to implement and works across multiple locations and geographies, helping the entire business work more efficiently.
