Aga Khan Foundation has played a vital role in improving living conditions and fostering sustainable development in marginalized communities across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The foundation's holistic approach toward bringing change aims to address the multidimensional aspects of poverty and enhance the quality of life for individuals and communities.
The foundation partners with thousands of communities in various areas including agriculture and food security, early childhood development, education, health and nutrition, civil society, climate resilience, and work and enterprise to help build a future where everyone can thrive.
The foundation needed to consolidate its human resources operations.
This was required to support its growth and global talent development efforts, operate more consistently and efficiently across countries, and enhance its employee and manager experience. The foundation also needed timely generation of reports, address gaps in reports, and improve data quality, for the management to make informed decisions. The existing reporting system was all paper based.
The Aga Khan Foundation, therefore, sought a robust and flexible human capital management system to manage employee data effectively across 18 countries.
The Aga Khan Foundation chose TCS as the implementation partner and selected Oracle Human Capital Management to address their requirements.
With over three decades of partnership built on shared values of co-innovation and delivery excellence, TCS and Oracle have been helping organizations apply innovation and technology to ride the waves of disruption.
TCS diligently gathered requirements using a comprehensive and integrated approach and utilized extensive testing scenarios to capture the nuances specific to the organization, owing to the large scale of operations.
An in-depth awareness of industry standards, regional regulatory compliances, and advanced technology specializations helped TCS implement an end-to-end, human centric, global human resources solution – Oracle Cloud HCM R13, covering core human resources, onboarding, absence management, time and labor management, talent management, employees and manager self-service, and offboarding modules. The solution standardized and integrated HR function for all 18 countries of Aga Khan Foundation’s operations, migrating historical data of three years for its 4,050 employees, while considering Aga Khan Foundation’s pain points, such as optimization of the budget and timeline of the program, adherence to policies, and change management.
The solution transformed the approach to data completely for Aga Khan Foundation with custom-built reports and dashboards. Integrated with Microsoft Azure AD, the comprehensive and unified platform is scalable enough to support Aga Khan Foundation’s growing user base. TCS utilized its contextual knowledge, hybrid project methodology, and Oracle Cloud expertise to successfully facilitate this transformation of workforce and data for Aga Khan Foundation.
The new integrated platform has enhanced employee experience, improved productivity, driven innovation, and increased Aga Khan Foundation’s agility to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing environment.
Some of the other benefits include:
A single version of truth for employee data, improved visibility, up-to-date availability of employee information, and streamlined position management
Access to reports, intuitive dashboards, and other tools to view and manage relevant human resources information, for employees
Enhanced employee experience and operations that incorporate the uptake of the latest features and unified reporting and analytics
A streamlined position management system to track and record employee transfers, flexibility to edit or add personal details through self-service, and managed time entries with elaborate time reports for the grants team
Targeted recruitment to ensure gender diversity while hiring, and access to the best human resources practices across 18 countries
Around 100% reduction in report generation time (eight days to two minutes)
With an in-depth awareness of industry standards, regional regulatory compliances, and advanced technology specializations, TCS implemented a trusted solution that improved efficiency, accuracy, cost savings, and the ability to make informed decisions at speed for the Aga Khan Foundation.
TCS partnered with the Aga Khan Foundation to design a global human resources transformation journey, leveraging Oracle Human Capital Management cloud. The solution facilitates the delivery of best-in-class systems and performance, creating a great work environment that enables everyone to thrive. We look forward to strengthening this partnership further as we move forward in our human resources transformation journey
