2024: A Memorable Year for Cezanne

The year 2024 has been nothing short of exhilarating for Cezanne. From groundbreaking product launches to dynamic events, every month brought unique challenges and triumphs. Join us as we recap the standout moments that defined the past twelve months!

January: The Year Kicked Off with Insight

The year began on a high note with the release of our provocative investigative report, “It’s All HR’s Fault.” In collaboration with the innovative HR Ninjas community, this report delved into the longstanding issues facing Human Resources and how they contribute to HR’s negative reputation. The findings were alarming but essential reading for HR professionals everywhere:

• 77% of HR practitioners feel that their role is misunderstood.
• 62% reported challenges in changing this perception.

This profound insight resonated widely, leading to record downloads and extensive media coverage both in the UK and internationally.

February: A Month of Learning

In February, we launched our new Learning Management System (LMS), designed to enhance training accessibility and engagement. With features such as an intuitive content creator, a rich library of ready-made materials, and innovative automation, the LMS allows organizations to elevate employee development. This system is:

• User-friendly and mobile-compatible, allowing access anytime, anywhere.
• Integrated seamlessly with Cezanne’s existing HR suite.

Additionally, our system release included substantial updates driven by user feedback. Noteworthy enhancements featured duplicable onboarding portals, streamlined documentation processes, and improvements in compensation planning features. You can read more about these updates here.

March: Growth Through Digital Learning

March marked a pivotal moment with our Learning and Development Manager, Grace Meritt-Hall, participating in a panel discussion hosted by The HR World. This webinar focused on how digital learning tools can revolutionize employee training. You can catch the discussion through this link.

We also rolled out a significant system update. The enhancements were aimed at improving the user experience with features like automated document generation, SCIM integration for secure user management, and enhanced mobile app security. More about the release can be found here.

Spring Festival Season: Connecting with the Community

Spring heralded the festival season at Cezanne. We showcased our innovative solutions at the HR Technologies Show held at London’s ExCeL Arena. Our new stand attracted a large audience eager for hands-on demonstrations and insightful consultations about our platform. Attendees also enjoyed sweet treats to enhance their experience!

Our Head of Customer Success, Peter Hall, conducted a well-received workshop on mastering HRIS implementations. He shared best practices for businesses preparing for system upgrades, emphasizing essential pillars for successful integration.

In a lighter moment, our London office enjoyed an outing to Swinger’s Crazy Golf, fostering camaraderie and friendly competition, with the Customer Success team claiming victory!

May: Payroll Revolution and Recognition

May was another remarkable month with a significant system release that introduced our in-house Payroll software. This tool merges people and payroll data, granting organizations the insights needed for compliance and informed decision-making.

Alongside this development, we achieved FSQS registration and certification, ensuring secure operations for sensitive payroll data. These milestones contributed to our growing reputation as a trustworthy HR partner.

In addition to product accomplishments, we received a TIARA Talent Tech Star Award nomination for Customer Service for the second consecutive year. This award recognizes outstanding client service within HR technology, and we were incredibly proud to be acknowledged for our commitment to excellence.

June: Robust Engagement and Celebration

In June, we returned to London for the prestigious 2024 CIPD Festival of Work. This event buzzed with energy as our team engaged directly with attendees through professional demonstrations and vibrant discussions on current HR trends.

Additionally, we hosted our Summer Sync Up event, allowing our London and Glasgow offices to collaborate while delving into future developments. The two-day gathering featured workshops, sneak peeks at upcoming system enhancements, and an engaging panel discussion with our clients.
