Case Study: County of Renfrew achieves paperless onboarding with Workzoom

County of Renfrew onboarded 32 hires in 3 months with Workzoom

The County of Renfrew, Ontario's largest county, faced significant challenges with its outdated, paper-based HR processes. The public sector employer of over 900 people struggled with time-intensive onboarding, recruitment bottlenecks from manual resume handling, and decentralized data across multiple systems. To address these issues, the county partnered with vendor Workzoom to implement its HR and payroll platform.

Workzoom's solution replaced paper forms and spreadsheets with a fully digital platform, deploying modules for recruiting, onboarding, time off, safety, and performance. The implementation enabled a hybrid onboarding process that brought on 32 new hires in just three months without increasing HR headcount. Workzoom also provided built-in Canadian payroll compliance and public sector reporting, consolidating all operations onto a single, connected platform.
