Situation

In 2002, a trio of trailblazers had a bold vision to revolutionize the fitness industry. They founded Self Esteem Brands LLC with a mission to make health and wellness accessible to everyone anytime, anywhere. With innovative concepts like Anytime Fitness, they shattered the traditional gym model and empowered individuals to prioritize their well-being on their own terms. Today, Self Esteem Brands LLC is a prominent franchise company, home to multiple cutting-edge brands such as The Bar Method, Waxing the City, and Basecamp Fitness, catering to diverse needs and lifestyles.

Struggles and Pains

As SE Brands, a global conglomerate, expanded its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, it witnessed rapid growth in its employee base. From its inception with just one brand and a handful of employees, SE Brands has acquired multiple brands and established offices in various regions, resulting in a workforce of hundreds of employees spread across 39 countries and all the seven continents (including Antarctica).

Now, with this huge workforce, SE Brands was bound to face many challenges if it relied on manual interventions of every employee lifecycle event update. And that’s what was happening. As SE Brands started expanding and acquiring new brands between 2005 and 2015, synchronizing employee data, and managing accounts, access privileges, and profiles became cumbersome and time-consuming. The existing HRIS, and IT access management systems – UKG Pro and AD were not equipped to handle the scale and complexity of managing employees across different locations, roles, and organizational structures.

Resolution

To address all the challenges associated with employee management across various silos, SE Brands turned to RoboMQ, a leading API and data integration solution provider that enables businesses to connect their applications, data, and devices across different environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid. In 2021, RoboMQ helped SE Brands with its flagship Prepackaged Integration Product (PIP) Hire2Retire. The automation solution helped the company streamline its employee lifecycle management processes while offering several other benefits-

It provided a centralized and standardized approach to managing employee data, access privileges, and profiles, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance across the organization.

It optimized the onboarding processes to reduce administrative overheads and enhance employees' 'First day at work' experience.

The offboarding process was also streamlined for on-time management of access privileges and security groups, ensuring stringent compliance with required regulations.

The automated approach to employee management also supported SE Brands' expansion into new markets and regions, enabling seamless integration of new acquisitions and consistent employee management across the organization.
