Before Workstream, Dunkin' faced significant inefficiencies in their hiring and payroll processes. Like many businesses, they relied on large national payroll companies such as Paychex and ADP. Despite their reputations, these platforms presented challenges: fragmented processes, manual data entry, and the need to constantly switch between different systems for various HR tasks.
For Dunkin', this meant duplicating efforts, re-entering information across multiple platforms, and dealing with the headaches of manual errors. The inefficiencies were not just time-consuming but also prone to mistakes, impacting both the back-office staff and the overall hiring experience.
Dunkin' needed an all-in-one solution that could streamline their HR operations from application to payroll. Workstream stood out as the perfect partner. What made Workstream unique was its comprehensive platform that seamlessly integrated all aspects of the hiring process. From application and interviews to onboarding and payroll, everything was built into a single, cohesive system.
The decision to switch to Workstream was driven by the platform's ability to handle the entire hiring process smoothly and efficiently. Unlike other providers that offered patchwork solutions, Workstream provided a fluid experience, eliminating the need for multiple systems and reducing the chances of errors.
One of the most significant advantages of Workstream for Dunkin' was the seamless integration from application to payroll. Previously, Dunkin' had to manually transfer information from one system to another, creating multiple opportunities for errors and delays. With Workstream, this became a thing of the past.
Applicants could apply through various platforms like DunkinDonuts.com or Indeed, and their information would automatically flow through the entire hiring process. This included interviews, scheduling, onboarding, and ultimately, payroll. The automation eliminated the need for manual data entry, ensuring accuracy and saving valuable time for the HR team.
Manual data entry is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Dunkin' experienced this firsthand with their previous payroll providers. With Workstream, the process was automated, significantly reducing the chances of mistakes. The platform’s ability to integrate data seamlessly meant that once an applicant's information was entered, it flowed through the entire system without the need for re-entry.
This automation was a game-changer for Dunkin'. It meant less time spent on administrative tasks and more focus on strategic initiatives. The reduction in errors also meant a smoother onboarding experience for new hires, which is crucial in maintaining a positive employer brand.
In today's fast-paced world, a mobile-first approach is essential, especially for hiring hourly workers. Workstream's mobile-first platform provided Dunkin' with the tools needed to attract and retain top talent. Applicants could easily apply, schedule interviews, and complete onboarding tasks directly from their mobile devices.
This convenience was particularly important for Dunkin', as many of their potential employees are always on the go. The mobile-first approach not only made the application process more accessible but also improved the overall applicant experience. It demonstrated Dunkin's commitment to leveraging modern technology to provide a user-friendly hiring process.
Switching platforms can often be challenging, but Workstream made the transition smooth for Dunkin'. One of the standout features of Workstream is its excellent customer support. Dunkin' experienced firsthand how the support team was always available to assist, ensuring that any issues were promptly resolved.
Moreover, Workstream is committed to continuous improvement. The platform is constantly evolving, with new integrations and features being added regularly. For Dunkin', this meant that their HR processes were always at the cutting edge of technology, further enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.
