How The Energy Collective’s Employee Experience Manager unified HR across three countries

The Challenge

As The Energy Collective expanded rapidly across Australia, New Zealand, and India, a small HR team without a digital platform found it hard to keep up. Spreadsheets and third-party tools made it difficult to manage compliance, culture, and consistent employee experiences across regions.

The Solution

To unify HR across regions and support their people-first culture, The Energy Collective chose Bob. Localised policies, engagement tools, and people analytics enabled a consistent experience at scale while automating core processes.

The Results

Bob provided a single source of truth across all countries, enabling compliance, visibility, and a culture of transparency. Teams are now more connected, and HR supports 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.
