Colchester, UK – 30 January 2013 – Property law specialist J B Leitch LLP is looking to improve its HR processes and communication with staff with the introduction of a new human resources and payroll solution from Access Group (Access). J B Leitch are Access’ 51st customer in the legal sector.

With the business growing substantially over the past few years the HR Department saw a need to invest in a new HR & payroll solution. Andy Hull, Performance Manager at J B Leitch, said, “As the company grows it’s become increasingly important to tighten up our processes and procedures, and improve the lines of communication between all staff. With all 85 employees using SelectHR’s self-service module we’ll be in a better position to regularly connect with our entire team.”

Many paper-based processes will now be automated, with all information centrally stored. “With HR & payroll seamlessly linked we’ll only have to make any changes once, this combined with automated workflows will contribute to a huge reduction in the administration burden,” continued Andy. J B Leitch will be introducing automated workflows for their new starter processes, appraisals, reviews and objective setting.

J B Leitch viewed various systems but really liked the Access product. “We were impressed with the user interface and the development plan that Access had in place. We spoke to a number of businesses that already use the system with very positive results, including other law firms, which is a sector where Access is gaining real traction.”

“We like to build lasting relationships with our business partners, and we feel that Access and their team is a business which shares our values and a desire to innovate and integrate our numerous IT systems. The sales consultant we dealt with comes from a CIPD background and demonstrated a clear understanding of the challenges we face and the needs of our organisation,” concluded Andy.

Access has over 50 customers in the legal sector including Hill Dickinson, Boodle Hatfield, and Harbottle & Lewis. For more information on Access, its consultancy and software solutions contact Dave Richardson on 0845 345 3300 or visit http://www.theaccessgroup.com.
