Overview

  • CompanyMirius
  • LocationUnited Kingdom
  • IndustryManufacturing

Explore this case study if:

  • You manage a large, shift-based manufacturing workforce operating across multiple teams or production schedules.
  • You rely on separate systems, spreadsheets or manual processes for HR, attendance, rotas and employee management.
  • You need accurate clocking data from shop-floor employees, agency workers or subcontractors.
  • You want greater control over absence, overtime, working hours and labour availability.
  • You want one HRMS covering workforce management, HR compliance, talent and performance.

Mirius Global Hygiene Solutions

Mirius Global Hygiene Solutions is a leading UK manufacturer of professional, retail and healthcare cleaning and hygiene products.

Established in 1963, Mirius operates a 24-hour manufacturing facility in Coventry, trades across more than 80 countries and has the capacity to produce more than 2 million bottles every week.

Running an operation of that scale requires more than accurate timekeeping. Mirius needs clear visibility across shifts, attendance, leave, employee records, compliance, recruitment, development and performance.

As the workforce and operation developed, managing these processes through disconnected systems and manual administration created unnecessary work for HR and operational managers. Mirius needed a single HR platform capable of supporting the workforce from the factory floor through to wider people management.

Mirius' Challenge:
Managing a 24/7 Workforce Without Adding More HR Admin

Mirius needed HR software capable of supporting the operational demands of a 24-hour manufacturing environment while giving HR and managers greater control across the wider employee lifecycle.

Rather than adding separate systems for different HR processes, the business needed one source of workforce information that could support day-to-day operations and longer-term people management.

The key challenges included:

  • Complex shift scheduling. Managing rotas, leave, absences and workforce coverage across 24/7 production.
  • Accurate time and attendance. Capturing working hours and overtime across permanent, agency and subcontracted workers.
  • HR compliance and records. Keeping employee documents, policies, training information and compliance records accurate and accessible.
  • Talent and performance management. Managing recruitment, onboarding, objectives, reviews and employee development within one system.
  • Workforce visibility. Giving managers clearer insight into attendance, absence, working patterns and employee data.
  • Reducing HR administration. Replacing manual data entry, paper records and disconnected processes that increased workload and the risk of errors.

One HR Platform Across the
Manufacturing Workforce

HR Duo gave Mirius one connected HR Platform to manage workforce operations, HR compliance, employee development and performance across its 24/7 manufacturing environment.

Control time and attendance across the factory floor

HR Duo time-tracking hardware and digital attendance management help Mirius capture working hours accurately, with clear visibility across teams and shifts.

Manage complex shifts, leave and workforce availability

Digital rotas, shift scheduling, attendance and leave management give managers a clear view of workforce availability and make changes easier to manage in one system.

Keep employee records and HR compliance connected

Employee records, documents, policies, contracts and compliance information sit within the same HR Platform, giving HR one central source of employee information.

Manage agency workers and subcontractors

Mirius can manage hours, documentation, workforce information and compliance requirements for different worker types within the same platform.

Connect recruitment, onboarding and performance

Recruitment and onboarding remain connected with ongoing performance management, one-to-ones and objectives, creating a more consistent employee journey without fragmented records.

Turn workforce data into useful HR intelligence

Workforce reporting gives HR and operational managers clearer insight into attendance, absence, working hours and employee trends to support better decisions.

HR Duo has given us one place to manage so much more of our workforce. From time and attendance and shift scheduling through to HR compliance, employee development and performance, we now have much better visibility across the business.

 

For a 24/7 manufacturing operation, having everything connected in one system has made it much easier for our managers and HR team to stay in control while reducing the administration involved.
