Challenge
Most of Orora’s human resources functions were operating smoothly, but HR leadership recognized it still had a few gaps. Orora’s Vice President of Human Resources identified three key areas where the HR function could add more value and be more strategic in meeting the company’s business goals:
Talent Acquisition
Compensation Analysis and Strategy
HRIS Optimization
Solution
Talent Acquisition: Because talent acquisition was an urgent need and priority among the company’s HR managers, the VP of HR initially engaged Bright Talent to fill active openings. Bright Talent was ready with an immediate talent acquisition solution and introduced a remote contract recruiter to support the project and fill the open positions.
After the success of these early hires, Orora’s VP of HR, as part of the long-term strategy, envisioned the creation of an internal talent acquisition department to better service the business. Bright Talent responded with a Talent Acquisition Consultant to provide strategy, planning and oversight and provided three additional contract recruiters to help meet the company’s recruiting goals.
Compensation Analysis and Strategy: In partnership with the VP of HR, Bright Talent also assisted Orora with a comprehensive compensation analysis and the development of a clear compensation strategy to enhance the company’s hiring and retention efforts. To ensure the success of these efforts, Bright Talent’s senior compensation consultant provided support to meet the seasonal and strategic needs of the project.
HRIS Optimization: Orora made the decision to invest in new systems to improve HR operations. They turned once again to Bright Talent for project management support. Bright Talent’s HRIS Project Manager supported Orora’s internal project team and acted as liaison with the various systems vendors. Bright Talent’s project manager provided both advisory and technical support, with data analysis and configuration, integration, reporting and change management elements.
Results
Talent Acquisition: The performance data from Bright Talent’s talent acquisition program support enabled Bright Talent to create a proof-of-concept for the VP of HR to justify the creation of an in-house talent acquisition function. With this mandate, Orora went on to hire an in-house talent acquisition leader while Bright Talent contract recruiters remain as ongoing, as-needed resources to flex with the ebb and flow of recruiting demands.
Compensation Analysis and Strategy: Bright Talent’s expert consultant worked closely with HR and business leaders to review current-state compensation practices. Utilizing market data, they established a set of new practices with a road map to improve the company’s salary structure. From there, the Bright Talent consultant helped Orora’s HR team create a project plan for developing and implementing improvements, which the company put into operations.
HRIS Optimization: After a complex implementation, Orora successfully launched two new HR systems that streamlined their operations. This enabled Orora’s HR leadership to better implement their strategic goals and helped the HR staff spend less time dealing with technology and more time dealing with people.
Bright Talent’s partnership with Orora embodies the mission of Bright Talent: to provide the right experts and the right time across the different disciplines of human resources.
