Learn how Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens uses Hire2Retire to automate employee lifecycle management and enhance security while improving the experience of over a million visitors.
Few things represent summer fun more than a trip to the zoo. Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens, a 122-acre facility with over 2,000 exotic animals and 1,000 plant species, attracts over a million visitors annually. However, managing employee profiles for such a large operation became a burden for their HR and IT teams. Manual processes for syncing employee data and provisioning system access resulted in delays, security risks, and a poor “First Day at Work” experience for new hires.
To address these challenges, Jacksonville Zoo turned to RoboMQ’s Hire2Retire, a no-code automation solution. Hire2Retire automates the synchronization of employee profiles between Paycom and Active Directory (AD), ensuring up-to-date, accurate data and eliminating the risk of unauthorized access. The automated system enables faster provisioning for new hires and timely removal of access for terminations, ensuring security and compliance while enhancing overall operational efficiency.
With Hire2Retire’s employee lifecycle automation, Jacksonville Zoo can focus more on delivering excellent visitor experiences while reducing manual overhead. The automated solution helps the zoo keep its HR and IT processes streamlined, allowing staff to devote more time to their core mission, making every zoo visit a perfect adventure.
