Case Study: Oliver Winery achieves a 30% increase in employee engagement and streamlined HR operations with Paylocity

How Oliver Winery Transformed HR Operations with Paylocity

Oliver Winery, a Bloomington, Indiana retail and hospitality company with about 100 employees, struggled with a clunky legacy HCM and manual HR processes that left its small team overwhelmed handling payroll, onboarding, compliance, and employee engagement. To address these challenges, Oliver Winery adopted Paylocity’s unified HR platform to replace multiple systems and reduce administrative burden.

Paylocity implemented automation for onboarding, payroll, benefits and compliance, consolidated four disparate systems into one, and added self-service and engagement tools like Community and Recognition & Rewards. The change delivered measurable impact: a 30% increase in employee engagement, more than 20 hours saved per week for HR (including over 12 hours monthly saved on payroll), and improved efficiency and scalability to support future growth — all achieved with Paylocity’s platform.
