Systems Implementation

Helping your business implement the right HR systems

HR System Implementation

Implementing a new HR system can transform the way your business manages people, processes and employee data — but only if it’s set up properly from the start.

At The Fractional HR Department, we help businesses successfully deliver HR system implementation projects, ensuring the platform works seamlessly with your processes and delivers real value from day one.

We specialise in HiBob implementation and Breathe HR implementation, two powerful HR software systems for growing businesses designed to simplify HR management, improve visibility and support scaling teams.

The Systems We Implement

HiBob is a modern, highly configurable HR management system designed for growing and scaling businesses. It enables businesses to manage employee data, performance management, time off, workflows, engagement and HR reporting all in one platform.

With the right HiBob system implementation, the platform becomes a powerful operational hub that supports HR teams, managers and leadership across the business.

Breathe HR is an intuitive and easy-to-use HR software system for small and medium-sized businesses. It helps businesses manage employee records, holiday tracking, HR documents, approvals and core HR processes in one simple platform.

With a structured Breathe HR implementation, businesses gain clarity, consistency and improved visibility across their HR processes.

A successful HR software implementation is about more than simply turning on new software. It requires thoughtful planning, clear processes and the right configuration to match how your business works.

Our HR system implementation service supports you through the entire process, ensuring the system is designed around your business needs.

Scoping & System Planning

We start by understanding your existing HR processes, business structure and operational needs. From there we define the scope of the HR system implementation project and ensure the system is configured to support how your business operates today — and as it grows.

HR Process Audit

If required, we carry out a HR process audit before system implementation to identify opportunities to simplify, automate and improve workflows.

This helps ensure your HR software implementation supports efficient, scalable processes.

Process Mapping

Before implementation, we review and map your existing HR workflows and processes — including onboarding, approvals, absence management and document storage.

Where needed, we redesign processes so they work effectively within the HiBob or Breathe HR system.

System Configuration & Setup

We configure the system, set up workflows, structures, permissions and data, ensuring everything is ready for launch and aligned with your business requirements.

Manager Training

A successful HR system rollout depends on adoption. We provide manager training and system guidance so leaders understand how to use the platform confidently and manage their teams effectively.

This ensures your HR software investment delivers long-term value.

Solution Design

Using our expertise in HR systems implementation, we recommend the best way to configure the platform to support your business structure, reporting needs and HR processes.

This ensures the system delivers practical value rather than simply storing information.

Go-Live Preparation

Before launch, we test the system and ensure everything is ready. Your HR system implementation will be fully prepared for go-live, allowing your business to begin using the platform immediately.
