Est. Read Time: 3 min.
The workplace is quickly evolving and the HR function at Groupe Rocher, an international cosmetics and beauty company, is having no problem keeping up. Groupe Rocher wanted to provide a more modern employee experience so they looked to PeopleDoc’s HR Service Delivery platform to transform their processes. In the video below, hear from Daniel Gottselig, Director, Compensation & Benefits/Integration HR Group, Groupe Rocher, on why he chose PeopleDoc and how the platform is creating productivity gains for HR and ease for employees.
Becoming a more modern employer
Ensuring an effective and efficient onboarding process for new hires is difficult, yet crucial as it sets the tone for an employee’s overall experience at an organization. When evaluating the onboarding process at Groupe Rocher, one that consists of many individual and often nuanced processes per employee, Daniel realized the need to modernize, which led him to PeopleDoc.
Onboarding was once an admin-heavy process that spanned weeks, but with the implementation of PeopleDoc, it’s now completed by HR in about 15 minutes. Not only has efficiency improved, but Groupe Rocher is now “a much more modern employer,” says Daniel.
Real impact for HR—and beyond
Improving the new hire experience and increasing HR productivity was what Groupe Rocher had hoped for when implementing PeopleDoc’s solutions—and now, it's reality. “PeopleDoc gave me the opportunity to rethink completely how we deal with administration in the company,” Daniel explains. “We now have the opportunity to centralize all of the needs and exchanges between employees, future employees, HR directors, and the whole organization.”
More than a vendor
HR teams support their company’s employees in immeasurable ways, and it was important for Daniel to find a technology partner that provided the same level of support for his own HR team. “With PeopleDoc I have partners that are really listening to my needs. They’re very open-minded and agile people, and we really enjoy working together as they’re very present—not only in our HR family, but also toward our employees. PeopleDoc is more than a vendor, [they’re] a partner.”

Yes, You Can Measure Employee Experience. Here’s How.
Companies want to offer their customers an excellent experience. Part of doing that is offering employees an excellent experience. There are two reasons for this. In many industries, job candidates are also customers. An example is the person who loves dining at a restaurant and decides to apply for a bartender job there. The last thing organizations want to happen is to lose both a candidate and a customer at the same time. The second reason is that employees are responsible for delivering the customer experience. The way they do that is by having their own excellent experience.
Does Your Organization Have an Employee Service Philosophy?
Most organizations have customer service philosophies. Examples include “Put yourself in your customers’ shoes” and “Put your customers’ needs first.” A customer service philosophy is defined as a group of shared principles that guide every customer interaction. Often, they are linked to the organizational mission, vision, and values. Customer service philosophies include references to honesty, respect, empathy, and making customers a priority. In thinking about external customer service philosophies, it raises a question. Shouldn’t organizations also have an employee (aka internal customer) service philosophy?
How 2020 Upended the Employee Experience Model As We Knew It
In a 2019 survey, Deloitte found that 84% of business and HR leaders viewed improving the employee experience (EX) as important—and 28% considered it urgent. In the pre-pandemic world, with low unemployment and rising turnover rates, providing a positive EX was an essential talent attraction and retention tool. Then COVID-19 hit.
