Piecing together HR before TriNet
The Denver-based manufacturer previously managed their HR functions with an internal controller and an administrative services organization that didn’t sponsor or offer any healthcare benefits to their employees. As a result, mcSquares had to sponsor their own small group plan and take on the considerable benefits administration responsibilities. “As we're growing and looking to hire more people, that group plan became more and more unsustainable,” said Ian McConville, Director of Operations at mcSquares. “We wanted to be able to attract and retain good talent at costs that made sense and could help us grow.”
An HR solution to optimize retention and growth
TriNet came highly recommended by one of their angel investing groups which spurred an analysis of multiple PEO (professional employment organization) options. “TriNet came out on customer service; the amount of support they gave us in the phase of getting started on the platform and the continuing support have been really impressive,” said Ian. mcSquares’ HR consultants at TriNet continuously help Ian with employee relations issues such as promotions, retention tactics, new workplace policies and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s super nice to have somebody that has our back and makes sure that we're following all the regulations that are coming out, that we are providing our employees with all the right information and that we keep them as safe as possible,” said Ian.
With TriNet, they’re able to offer a range of premium level benefits to their employees that fit their individual financial and life situations. “From an employee attraction and retention standpoint, it's been a game changer for us,” said Ian.
TriNet technology supports the entire employee lifecycle
The small yet growing team at mcSquares appreciates the comprehensive and easy-to-use TriNet technology platform, including the ability to see and compare pay details. “The platform is exhaustive, which I love as a numbers and operations guy, but also allows us to drill down and figure out where we need to quickly find things,” said Ian. “The foundation is there as we are defining more and more of a standardized hiring and training process.” The TriNet platform provides support across the entire employee lifecycle, including recruiting, onboarding, development and performance management.
HR isn’t Ian’s only responsibility. His charter includes managing functions ranging from production and shipping, to supply chain logistics and more. “With TriNet, we have to think a lot less and worry a lot less about HR, payroll and benefits,” said Anthony. “It’s made Ian’s life a lot easier which essentially makes our entire company more productive.”
“TriNet has changed the game in how we recruit and retain talent, has made it simpler to manage payroll and added hours back to my plate,” said Ian.
