Case Study: Crohn’s and Colitis Canada achieves paper-free people management and an improved employee experience with Rise People

How paper-free people management helps a Canadian charity focus on what matters most

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is a national, volunteer‑based charity focused on funding research and supporting people living with inflammatory bowel disease. With rising IBD rates in Canada, a lean administrative team and dispersed staff, the organization struggled with paper‑based, manual HR and payroll processes, slow time‑off approvals, and fragmented candidate tracking that ate into time for mission‑critical work.

They implemented Rise in stages—Payroll, HR, Time & Attendance and Recruiting—moving pay stubs to automated delivery, centralizing employee records, giving staff self‑service access to leave balances, and consolidating recruiting and collaboration tools. The result was a much simpler, more intuitive employee experience, significant administrative time savings, an affordable ROI, and the ability for the charity to spend less time on paperwork and more time on its programs and fundraising.
