Case Study: Youth Dynamics achieves improved workforce engagement, faster hiring, and 40% HR automation with Sage Intacct

Youth Dynamics heals workforce through Sage People insights

Youth Dynamics is a Montana-based nonprofit providing trauma‑sensitive mental and behavioral health services for children across 30+ locations, serving about 4,000 youth with a distributed workforce of roughly 600 employees and many high‑turnover part‑time mentors. HR was hampered by fragmented systems, manual data entry and inefficient recruiting and onboarding processes, which limited visibility into engagement, performance and retention.

By implementing Sage People with tailored workflows and integrations (including Broadbean), Youth Dynamics automated about 40% of HR processes, saved roughly 750 hours per year, and cut hiring time from 30 to 10 days. The HR team sped time‑to‑insight by 75% (eight weeks to two), increased survey cadence 4x with double the response rate, eliminated one FTE’s worth of manual work, reduced unemployment costs by 90% (saving $95K), and improved remote communication and manager effectiveness during COVID‑19.
