Project setup

For the Port of Antwerp-Bruges (PoAB), we are conducting a Human Resources process optimization project with three main goals:

  1. Optimize both the functional and technical architecture of new and existing HR platform components.

  2. Increase the efficiency and digitization of the HR processes.

  3. Improve the employee HR and management satisfaction with regards to the HR systems and processes.

In a first phase, Trilations assisted with translating PoAB’s strategic objectives into a clear program structure. As a vendor-independent partner, we supported PoAB in selecting the right implementation partners for the program tracks/projects. During the second phase, the communication and collaboration with the external development partner was entrusted to Trilations. In addition to this we were charged with the business analysis, test coordination and cutover to the production of the developed solutions. In the final phase, we guided the internal adoption of the new procedures by delivering workshops and training.

In less than a year, we were able to reorganize the essential personnel and organizational data management flows (including ESS/MSS capabilities), redesign the (continuous) performance management solution and structure the underlying data sources, enabling easy recurring and ad hoc reporting.

Currently, we are optimizing the talent development life cycle (including the online training platform), rendering the time registration processes more efficient. On top of this we are working out an integral recruitment and onboarding process as well as tackling the mobility and SHEQ-platform implementations.

This ongoing project is set to completely rebuild and optimize the HR experience for the PoAB management team, the HR department as well as all the employees.
