Tanya Moskovakis, National HR Director at Polygon Group, explains how the integrated SIGMA-HR suite meets the challenges of optimizing HR management, in particular by centralizing HR information and streamlining processes for better file tracking.
Polygon Group is a group of companies whose activities are all related to fire protection:
- Polygon Security for centralized corporate management and services
- Viking Fire Protection for the design of fire protection systems right through to installation on construction sites
- Polygon Fire Protection for the protection of multiple buildings worldwide
- FireFlex Systems for the design and manufacture of innovative, patented fire protection systems
- SCS Canada for the distribution of specialized fire protection products and equipment
The company has over 1,000 employees across Canada, spread between offices, manufacturing workshops, warehouses and construction sites (around half the workforce), with frequent business travel.
A Fully Integrated HR Solution: A Key Selection Criterion
Tanya Moskovakis looks back at the main criterion that led her to choose SIGMA-HR: “The ‘integrated’ aspect of the solution was a key criterion in our choice. We were looking for HR software capable of interfacing with the payroll software used by our Group and transferring information to it, without having to perform double data entry. We then used additional modules, for interviews, for instance, to build up a truly integrated system that met our different needs and enabled us to work as a team.”
Today, Polygon Group takes full advantage of the functionalities offered by SIGMA-HR to streamline its HR management and facilitate the work of HR managers, working with:
- the Core HR Module
- the Workplace Accidents and Occupational Diseases Software
- the Talent Management Software (recruitment, interviews, training)
Tanya Moskovakis highlights the key benefits of the solution as follows:
- Time savings thanks to integration between SIGMA-HR and the payroll software used by the Group, avoiding double data entry.
- Faster, simpler access to information.
- A user-friendly Performance Review Module for HR managers, allowing them to create and integrate dynamic questionnaires for the performance appraisals of around 500 Polygon Group employees.
- Workflows to ensure continuity of follow-up, both for HR supervision and for employees.
- Advanced reporting capabilities, with automatic reporting on a wide range of topics.
- Customization capabilities.
- Granular management of file access, ensuring security.
This integrated approach streamlines Polygon Group’s HR management, saving time and improving the quality of follow-up.
Automation, Customization, Security: Key Advantages
Automation
In its day-to-day use, Polygon Group particularly appreciates the SIGMA-HR Personal Assistant for automating recurring tasks. Each module also enables the creation of automated reports, providing better access to information and improved visualization.
Customization Capabilities
The ability to configure the user interface according to business needs or user preferences is also a big plus. “We’ve set up many customized screens over the years to meet the specific needs of our business,” says Tanya Moskovakis.
All these features have made it easy for Polygon Group managers to learn how to use the solution, which is particularly intuitive, and to integrate it into their work processes.
Security and Granularity of Access
SIGMA-HR not only fulfills businesses’ expectations regarding the security and protection of personal information (“Law 25”), but also allows them to monitor and precisely regulate who can view which files.
High-Quality Assistance and Ongoing Optimization: True Value-Added
With no reservations, Polygon’s head of human resources affirms that SIGMA-HR exceeds her expectations, as well as those of her team. She consistently recommends the service to other organizations. Tanya Moskovakis highlights the exceptional support and SIGMA-HR’s capacity to incorporate improvement suggestions: “We have noticed that SIGMA-HR is consistently committed to improvement and maintains a vigilant eye on both the market and legal factors. Having a partner who can meet our evolving needs without us having to look elsewhere for other solutions is extremely valuable.
