Covid-19 recovery

Through our software and services, we have been able to support our customers (and their local communities) to adapt to the new ways of working imposed by COVID-19. The web-based nature of our solutions meant customers could still access the software remotely to pay employees accurately and on-time, and employees could be engaged through system communications.
Our product design team responded promptly, releasing functionality to assist customers with calculating and reclaiming payments under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. All developments were completed and delivered at no charge to customers.
We also offered free-of-charge online advice and guidance sessions on key topics such as:
• the remote mobilisation of workforces
• changing government legislation
• furlough and holiday leave extension
Our Managed Payroll Service continued to operate as normal, delivering payrolls with normal high levels of accuracy, and emergency payroll services to support customers who needed it.
All implementations were, and continue to be, conducted remotely, ensuring the safety of both our clients and our employees, and that crucial HR and payroll operations continued and employees were paid on-time. We have multiple technologies to support this including Microsoft Teams, Skype and WebEx, to ensure we can continue all communications with no delay to the project.
Internally at MHR, we operated as BAU, with no employees placed on the furlough scheme and instead creating new employment opportunities for our local community.
We take the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees very seriously and implemented several initiatives and procedures to ensure they remained comfortable and happy during this challenging time. (E.g. MHR employees have access to 7 trained Mental Health First Aiders, an Employee Assistance Programme and the Smart Health GP App. We also kept in regular contact with our employees through our HR dashboard, promoting virtual baking clubs, competitions etc.)

We do not treat applicants unfavourably based on their Protected Characteristics, ensuring that there are equal opportunities at all stages of the recruitment/promotion processes.
