How the Employee Experience Manager at The Energy Collective unified HR across regions

The Challenge

With a small HR team and no digital HR platform, The Energy Collective grew quickly across Australia, New Zealand, and India. Spreadsheets and third-party tools made it difficult to handle compliance, culture, and consistent employee experiences across regions.

The Solution

The Energy Collective selected Bob to connect HR across regions, automate core processes, and maintain their people-first culture. Using localized policies, engagement tools, and people analytics, Bob created a consistent experience at scale.

The Results

Bob provided The Energy Collective with a single source of truth across all countries, delivering compliance, visibility, and a culture of transparency. Teams are better connected, and HR can now enable growth with minimal overhead.

Because of complex regulatory requirements, our business runs an administrative model in India where the HR team is very hands-on. But in Australia and New Zealand, we run a self-service model where managers are empowered to support their teams with minimal intervention from the people team. We needed an HRIS that could do both, customized for each location. Bob did all of that easily.
