Communicating Your Move to HR Command
Why the Change
We’re moving to HR Command, a modern HR platform that gives every employee easy access to their HR information in one place. It’s secure, simple to use and built to help us manage employment records, policies and training more efficiently.What Will Change
You’ll now be able to:
- Access personal information, contract(s), workplace policies, employment-related documents and training records in one central location.
- Update your own details without waiting for forms to be processed.
- Receive automated reminders for compliance and training tasks.
- View company-wide policies directly from your dashboard.
What won’t change:
- Your pay cycle, entitlements and HR support contacts remain the same.
- The way you communicate with HR won’t change — you’ll just have more tools at your fingertips.
- Where you can find your pay slips and add leave.
Supporting Staff Through the Transition
Everyone reacts differently to system changes. Managers and HR should:
-
Communicate early and often.
-
Listen to feedback and address common questions.
-
Provide champions or early adopters who can help others.
-
Celebrate small wins and keep reinforcing the benefits.
