Dawson Group - HR Software Dawsongroup plc is the parent company of 9 UK trading companies, which are supported by 36 locations throughout the UK and a further 5 subsidiaries strategically located in Europe. Its core business is 'high value asset rental' with the complimentary provision of used equipment sales. With a turnover of over £97 million and more than 450 employees Dawsongroup is an extremely successful company. Longstanding Customer Dawsongroup has been a customer of ASR's for over nine years, purchasing ASR for Windows in 1997 before upgrading to HR Professional in 2003. Sally Ellis has worked for Dawsongroup for over 10 years and assumed control of the HR function in 1999. Although Sally was extremely happy with ASR for Windows she realised the additional functionality in HR Professional improved reporting and automatic email triggers, would provide Dawsongroup with the benefits to manage HR processes even more effectively. ASR's HR Software Reduces Recruitment Costs One of the key challenges faced by Dawsongroup was to try and reduce the cost of recruitment. HR Professional has given Dawsongroup the tools to manage and control these costs. Via ASR's in built reporting tool Dawsongroup are now in a position to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of all their recruitment campaigns. Sally stated: "To reduce the Group's recruitment costs has been one of our main aims, particularly as the business expands and new vacancies arise. We didn't realise how much could be monitored and saved by being able to review the different methods of recruiting & seeing which media are more effective." ASR Case Study - Human Resources Software SystemAs with most companies the importance of managing absence is essential in maintaining competitive advantage. In 2005 a strategic effort was made by Dawsongroup to manage their absenteeism by running ASR's standard Bradford Index report notifying line managers of employees who have reached the Bradford Index 200 point threshold. Sally Ellis commented: "One of the key advantages of using ASR's HR Software is the fact that the product is so user friendly. The look and feel of the system allows the user to easily navigate around the system. Likewise the in built report writer has been designed with the HR end user in mind. The standard reports included with ASR's HR Software allow you to be able to run all of your monthly reports. However, even if you need to produce ad hoc reports the training ASR provides gives you the confidence and ability to write your own. Even if you do get stuck ASR's support desk is always on hand to help." The Dawsongroup is continuing to expand as a company and ASR's HR Software will be used to help manage this expansion. Sally mentions: "The great thing about ASR's HR Software is that it has the flexibility to evolve with us. After being involved with ASR for over 5 years Dawsongroup and I look forward to continuing our relationship with ASR."
