noopener\">Shona Joy<\/a> is a fashion label renowned for its timeless, hand-painted prints and nostalgic silhouettes that speak to Australia\u2019s coastal style. Since its founding in 2000, the brand has evolved from the backdrops of Bondi Beach and Paddington Markets into a globally recognised fashion label. But as the company grew, so too did its HR and payroll challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 250 staff across design, head office, retail and warehouse operations, Shona Joy\u2019s People and Culture Manager, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adriana-nedic-1314981b3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adriana Nedic,<\/a> knew that their manual processes couldn\u2019t scale with their ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cOur HR system was entirely paper-based<\/em>; <em>we had printed leave forms, physical folders for documentation, and handwritten time<\/em>sheets<em>. It was incredibly time-consuming and difficult to manage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Administrative complexity was affecting efficiency across the board, and it was clear that a change was needed. Fortunately, Adriana had used Employment Hero in a previous role and was confident that the platform could solve Shona Joy\u2019s HR pains \u2013 she led the charge to bring Employment Hero on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The HR and payroll landscape before Employment Hero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before implementing Employment Hero, the HR team at Shona Joy was bogged down in paperwork. Leave requests had to be printed, signed and physically filed. Timesheets were written by hand and walked between offices for approval. Onboarding new team members involved multiple emails and printed forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cWe were spending so much time on repetitive admin tasks \u2013it was unsustainable. We needed to move from folders and forms into a digital future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shona Joy\u2019s Accountant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/haomin-shen-cpa-2802028b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Henry Shen<\/a>, faced similar inefficiencies on the payroll side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cI had to walk around the warehouse to get our casual employees&#8217; timesheets signed<\/em>. <em>Then I\u2019d manually enter everything (hours, pay and tax details) into our payroll system. It was prone to errors and incredibly inefficient.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no automation, no central system and no real-time visibility for employees, the manual setup was creating bottlenecks that affected productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The new way: One system. Everything employment.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything changed when Adriana introduced Employment Hero. The platform now powers Shona Joy\u2019s HR, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/solutions\/onboarding-software\/\">onboarding<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/products\/payroll-software\/\">payroll<\/a>, compliance, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/solutions\/performance-management-software\/\">performance management<\/a>, time tracking, and reporting &#8211; all from one central dashboard. Adriana calls it \u201c<em>a complete people management system<\/em>\u201d and says that the impact has been nothing short of transformative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employment Hero has also revolutionised Shona Joy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/solutions\/onboarding-software\/\">onboarding<\/a> process. New hires receive their login credentials via email and can complete all necessary documentation, contracts, policies and forms online before their first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cWhen we bring on temporary warehouse staff, I just enter their email and the system takes care of the rest. For returning casuals, previously entered details are saved, making re-onboarding a smooth and error-free experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A seamless and transparent employee experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since implementing Employment Hero, the experience for both employees and managers has completely changed. Through the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/products\/work-app\/\">Employment Hero Work app<\/a>, the entire team now has access to their leave balances, payslips, contracts and onboarding documents right from their phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cMost of our staff have the app downloaded and they use it regularly to check leave balances or submit requests. It\u2019s made things so much easier, faster and more transparent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For managers, the platform provides a central dashboard where they can oversee their teams, approve leave and recognise employee achievements with shoutouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\">\u201c<em>The visibility we now have across our teams is incredible<\/em>,\u201d Adriana added. <em>\u201cManagers can see everything they need at a glance, which helps with engagement and oversight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payroll that stitches it all together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fashion industry often involves casual and part-time workers, which can make payroll processing especially complex. With Employment Hero <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/products\/payroll-software\/\">Payroll<\/a>, Shona Joy has drastically simplified these processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cNow I just check the submitted timesheets and click once,\u201d <\/em>said Henry. <em>\u201cThe system calculates gross pay, net pay, PAYG and super \u2013it\u2019s all automatic. It\u2019s amazing how much time we\u2019ve saved.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employment Hero\u2019s redundancy pay feature has given Shona Joy confidence in their compliance and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cPreviously, I had to manually calculate redundancy payments by going to the ATO website and checking rates. Now, the platform does it all for me, it\u2019s accurate and fast.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No looking back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shona Joy\u2019s journey with Employment Hero highlights the power of digital workforce management. By moving away from fragmented, manual systems, they\u2019ve created a connected, transparent and future-ready workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote\"><em>\u201cEmployment Hero has helped us streamline so many of our processes, we haven\u2019t looked back. It\u2019s convenient, secure and compliant.\u2019&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make work easier with Employment Hero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in creative, fast-paced industries like fashion, Shona Joy\u2019s experience is an example of how modern HR and payroll tools can eliminate inefficiencies and boost engagement.
