How 'Eat My Lunch' used MyHR to create a smooth HR operation.
Company Profile
Eat my Lunch is a quintessentially Kiwi business, helping hungry kids across the country access healthy food. Their buy one, give one business model is simple; for every lunch purchased means Eat my Lunch gives a lunch to a Kiwi kid who would otherwise go without one. We spoke with Brett Pearson, National Operations Director, about how MyHR has helped the business since they adopted the platform in 2018.

Challenge
The Eat My Lunch school programme currently provides meals to over 14,500 children everyday, which presents logistical challenges for any company.
"We have a lot of people come and go through the business which means we are continually recruiting".
There are 150 employees spread across three sites in Auckland and Wellington so being able to onboard new employees quickly and efficiently is critical to the success of the Eat my Lunch programme.
There was a clear need for centralised people data that is easy to access, understand, and manage. Without dedicated internal HR, keeping on top of people management and staying compliant required a lot of time and admin.
According to Brett, MyHR's smart software combined with expert support has assisted him in creating a smooth onboarding process where employees can manage their data – leave, contracts, payslips - from a single, easy-to-use source.
Solution
Paperless Onboarding
Brett now spends less time worrying about HR and more time making sure the day-to-day function of the business runs smoothly.
"With more than 150 employees in Auckland and Wellington, with many people coming and going, we can hire new employees digital- ly and seamlessly. Electronic contracts save time and effort and mean we can spread the workload by self-training other managers."
Key onboarding features:
- Recruitment strategy and workforce planning
- Tailored employment agreements
- Complete employee self-service portal
- Onboarding & inductions plans for new hires
Data management
With so many people coming and going, most of whom are on casual contracts, the admin involved reviewing and creating cus- tomised documents can be time-consuming. The MyHR platform allows managers to view and manage team performance and data from a central location.
Key data management features:
- Complete employee overview from pay rates, leave and more
- Employee record and file management
- Custom reminders for key employee events such as work visas or trial periods and upcoming performance reviews
Expert HR support team
An all-in-one software and services platform provide an additional layer of HR expertise and on-demand help if you need it.
"You're not talking to a machine you're talking to a human," says Brett.
MyHR consultants provide ongoing training and HR support, "the ease of communication between the customer and the MyHR sup- port team gives you confidence in the team management."
MyHR advisors can help with:

Software integration
MyHR's software integrations have helped companies manage all employment-related matters from a single source. "The beauty of the Payhero and Xero integrations is that we can pay employees on time, create rosters and timesheets, and manage those teams in real-time."
"With more than 150 employees across the country, with many people coming and going, we can now hire new employees digitally and seamlessly."BRETT PEARSON
The impact
As MyHR takes the stress out of compliance, documentation, and people management, Brett can focus on what matters: feeding hungry tummies across New Zealand.
The platform is visually appealing and easy to find, Brett says. Not only has it reduced confusion within the team, but the simple soft- ware means everyone can manage their leave and onboard new employees with ease.
"This has led to a very engaged team and efficient processes."
"The ease of communication between the customer and the MyHR support team gives you confidence in the team management."
