Case Study: Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association (CLIA) achieves streamlined HR, payroll and benefits with Rise People

How Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association Raises the People Management Bar with Rise

The Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association (CLIA) is a small, five-person Regina-based organization that manages liability insurance for law firms. As the team scaled, CLIA’s Administration Manager, Sheila Gyorgy, needed to stop relying on outsourced payroll and scattered spreadsheets for time-off and HR tasks so the team could focus on people rather than processes.

CLIA implemented Rise’s all‑in‑one HR platform, integrated with Sun Life benefits, which Rise set up with a fast, low‑effort implementation. The result: payroll is processed in about five minutes biweekly with next‑day fund transfers, benefits premiums sync automatically, time‑off is tracked digitally, and administrative HR requests have dropped—freeing Sheila and the team time and delivering clear time and cost savings.
