Challenges
The primary concern for the client was statutory and compliance management, as any lapse in PF, ESI, gratuity, or wage-related laws could expose the company to regulatory penalties and reputational risks. Additionally, designing a competitive insurance plan that balanced cost-effectiveness with comprehensive coverage was a key requirement, as the client wanted to ensure employee well-being without overburdening operational costs. Another major challenge lay in the execution of the transition itself, ensuring that 270 employees were smoothly onboarded without payroll delays, communication gaps, or disruption in business continuity.
Solution
TeamLease addressed these challenges through a carefully coordinated approach led by a dedicated task force who oversaw the end-to-end transition. The team worked closely with internal stakeholders to ensure that statutory processes were mapped accurately and implemented without errors. Compliance frameworks were reviewed and aligned with labour law mandates, guaranteeing timely contributions and filings. Parallelly, a competitive insurance plan was designed and rolled out, offering enhanced financial and healthcare protection for employees. To build trust and smooth adoption, TeamLease conducted employee engagement sessions, ensuring transparency in processes and clear communication about the benefits and support systems in place.
Outcome
The transition proved to be highly effective, with all 270 employees successfully onboarded under the TeamLease system with zero disruption to operations. The client achieved 100% statutory compliance, eliminating the risk of penalties and safeguarding its reputation. Employees benefited from a stronger insurance package, boosting their sense of security and engagement with the organisation. The seamless handling of payroll, compliance, and employee benefits reinforced the client’s confidence in TeamLease, freeing up management bandwidth by around 30% to focus on strategic business growth while relying on TeamLease for efficient workforce management.
