From Excel to HR system in Kynningsrud

It all started with Pål Kristian Eggen in 4human contacted Kirsti Finsal in Kynningsrud and told her about a system that could follow up on sick leave digitally online. Kirsti was used to working in a simple database and Excel spreadsheet. This working methodology was not very efficient and not very user-friendly.

Kynningsrud implemented absence monitoring to 4human in 2015. And today, Kynningsrud has expanded the system to also include performance appraisals, personnel follow-up and competence, in addition to sick leave follow-up.

Helge Tangen and Kirsti Finsal used to work in the same position, but in recent times the position has been split in two. Kirsti is now HSE manager and Helge now works as HR manager at Nordic Crane Kynningsrud.

“It is not easy to get all managers who work with many other systems, different backgrounds and work experience to familiarize themselves with management and HR tasks in addition to their daily work tasks,” says Helge. He adds that – 4human serves as an aid to all managers, through templates for performance appraisals and follow-up plans.

Kynningsrud currently uses the absence module actively in relation to NAV and he says that the follow-up plan and electronic submissions to NAV work very well. It increases efficiency and simplifies the work of the company's managers. Kynningsrud also uses the competence module extensively to ensure that certificates and courses do not expire.

When you have many managers in many departments, you need a system that is simple and effective. You get that in 4human , with follow-up and performance reviews.”

4human is getting more and more under the skin of the many managers in Kynningsrud and the system ensures higher efficiency and better overview for the individual managers. Helge also says that it is easy to find documentation and personal information in the system.

In the long term, Helge wants to use the employee portal and employee interviews for the entire company, to increase efficiency and profit through simplified work tasks. 

Weekend roses 4human his support department, he has been in some contact with, among others, Milica at 4human and he brags a lot about the support 4human offers. Technical support works very well, he says. He adds – I have submitted a few cases recently and have received quick responses.

"Technical support works really well, I've submitted some cases recently and have gotten quick responses."

He also likes to be sent user guides that he can use to solve the issue himself without being burdened by hourly work.

Nordic Crane Kynningsrud and 4human has had a good collaboration since its inception and implementation in 2015. It has been four years since this fruitful collaboration came to life and it will take new steps in the years to come, with new functionality to solve the many challenges that may arise.

We look forward to the journey ahead!
