McDonald’s improves employee management, decreasing reliance on HR team

Who They Are

McDonald’s New Zealand opened its first fast food restaurant in 1976 in Porirua. Today, there are 152 McDonald’s restaurants across New Zealand, drawing in one million visitors per week.

What they need

A central repository for process and form information, consistency across restaurant locations and process mapping software to reduce reliance on busy HR teams.

How they did it

Tapped Nintex Process Management as a process management tool and an accessible central storeroom for process information.

Nintex Process Management helped the restaurant chain manage its New Zealand employees and store process information

Despite having a dedicated tool for managing employment issues, McDonald’s New Zealand lacked dedicated processes. The absence of processes caused issues for the human resources team, which had to balance requirements for all 152 New Zealand restaurants and the daily needs of 9,000 employees. It was also difficult for the company to keep up with the extensive documentation necessary for compliance with regulations for hiring, dealing with misconduct and other issues. McDonald’s HR team needed a way to develop processes and simplify regulation compliance. The solution had to be simple to ensure adoption at every location, so McDonald’s turned to Nintex Process Management.

Improved Process Management Eases HR Burden and Simplifies Compliance Tasks

The human resources team at McDonald’s New Zealand implemented Nintex Process Management to improve employee management processes. The simple software allowed McDonald’s to keep processes, work instructions and relevant documents in one location. Nintex Process Management also acted as an easily searchable repository for all process-related information, including full process history and change logs with details about each revision.

Nintex Process Management enabled McDonald’s to respond nimbly to legislation changes across its 152 New Zealand locations. The process management software enables real-time process changes online, which is beneficial for legislation changes. Nintex Process Management has improved efficiency across every McDonald’s location, opening access to process information, decreasing reliance on HR teams and simplifying legislation compliance. While Nintex Process Management was originally implemented for employee relations, its success has made the software likely to expand into other HR applications within McDonald’s New Zealand.

As we know, sometimes processes can be very, very complicated. Some of the cross functional process maps can go beyond pages. The adoption of Nintex Process Manager definitely helps staff to understand these maps a lot easier. And now we utilize those process maps, not only in various projects that we do, but also in daily operational life because they utilize these maps as a working manual.

Nintex [Promapp®] Process Management works because it shows the information in a simple way, compared to a complex flow chart that makes the brain switch off. We‘ve seen that in action, especially when staff are covering for those on leave.
