Case Study REGINA MARIA Healthcare Network
REGINA MARIA manages HR analysis and budgeting processes with Senior Software’s solution
The solution enables us to have a better control over salary costs and budgeted positions, to work with multiple budget versions, to communicate easily with managers, with the Controlling Department and to increase the performance of our HR managers. All information may be seen in a structured manner, such as position, division, department, cost center, month / year or expenditure. For us, the most significant aspect is that the software, because of the way it was designed, allows us to take a unified approach to all salary costs.

HR department challenges prior to implementation:
Objectives pursued after the implementation:
The HR budget was initiated by the Department of Human Resources in the last month of the year, by exporting the existing salary costs up to that point, being a laborious process of dividing costs at the level of employees and location. Following initialization, each location and division manager worked on the salary budget using an Excel spreadsheet model.
Once the budget editing was completed, a file was saved for each version of the budget, validated following the revisions in the budget flow. Aggregating budget data was a time-consuming process, as final data checks and validations were done by phone or email. At the same time, the KPI managerial analyzes were performed in Excel by punctual processing of each file and of each key performance indicator. Monthly checks and validations required a lot of time and attention.
Go Live: October 2018
The implemented budgeting process is customized according to business needs and the system interface is intuitive. The software allows us to budget the positions in the structure and the related salary expenses, giving us the possibility to view all the information in a structured manner, at the level of position, division, department, cost center, month / year or expense. The costs are calculated automatically based on formulas introduced in the application, which facilitates the work of all users.

The system gave managers more control over budgets and allows them to track closely the goal achievements, which has resulted in a significant increase in the organization’s revenue over the last 3 years.
Excel spreadsheets have been replaced and the HR budget is based on a pre-existing situation in the Analytical & Budgeting System. Currently, each manager operates the budget, and the aggregation of data at the department, division and company level is done natively. Access to budget-related information occurs in a very short period of time and budget revisions are very simple to manage and track.
Employee costs are integrated very quickly in the financial report of P&L (Profit & Loss) of each location, by cost categories, depending on the position occupied by the employee (doctor, nurse, collaborator, non-doctor). In order to support the collaboration, the employees have access to the chat and can use functions like report distribution and automatic e-mails. Furthermore, the platform can be accessed from anywhere, encouraging remote work.
The transition to a software that allows us to automate these steps required by budgeting processes was an important leap for us. The CPM solution has significantly contributed to streamlining the process by avoiding calculation errors and shortening the time allocated before centralizing data at the Group level, of the analyzes and of all the stages required to obtain the final budget version.

The most important changes registered after the implementation:
In terms of data accuracy, operating errors have decreased considerably, thanks to the option of implementing some conditions and limiting the level of operation, which has resulted in a better control of the process.
Furthermore, the fact that the platform can be accessed from anywhere, with an Internet connection, is an advantage, particularly for those who have a mobile work location and must adhere to a strict calendar during the budgeting process.

KPI Analysis & Interactive Dashboards:
With the HR performance management system, managerial analyzes are available in a series of intuitive dashboards where values, evolution or variations in key performance indicators (KPI) are tracked. With the assistance of the operator system, an analysis of two categories of indicators, respectively qualitative KPIs and quantitative KPIs, is performed:
