From fragmented systems to workforce transformation at Laguna Development Corporation
How do you sustain rapid growth without letting outdated processes and administrative complexity hold your organization back?
In this episode of HCM Minds at Work, host Melissa Glennon sits down with Andrew Gonzalez, financial analyst at Laguna Development Corporation, to discuss the organization's journey from a collection of disconnected workforce systems to a unified human capital management (HCM) and payroll strategy. As Laguna grew from just three employees to nearly 1,100, Andrew and his team recognized that manual processes, siloed data and inconsistent workflows could no longer support the organization's future ambitions.
Andrew shares how consolidating payroll, time tracking and workforce management helped improve accuracy, reduce administrative burden and create a more seamless employee experience. He also discusses the role of workforce analytics, continuous optimization and emerging artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in helping leaders make smarter decisions, strengthen retention efforts and support long-term growth. It's a compelling conversation about modernizing operations, empowering employees and building the foundation for sustainable success.
