How the Employee Experience Manager at The Energy Collective transformed their global HR operations

The Challenge

With rapid expansion across Australia, New Zealand, and India, The Energy Collective relied on a small HR team and no digital HR platform. Spreadsheets and third-party tools made managing compliance, culture, and consistent employee experiences across regions difficult.

The Solution

To unify HR across regions and automate core processes while supporting their people-first culture, The Energy Collective selected Bob. Using localized policies, engagement tools, and people analytics, Bob delivered a consistent experience at scale.

The Results

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