New Zealand
The Graeme Dingle Foundation is one of New Zealand’s leading child and youth development charities, with a vision to make Aotearoa the best place in the world to be young. Through their programmes, the Foundation helps young people aged five to 24 build the confidence, resilience, and skills they need to overcome obstacles and thrive. It's a mission that takes dedicated people, time, and resources. And when you're a charity that runs programmes for nearly 30,000 participants a year on lean budgets, every dollar and every hour counts.
Claire Whittle, National Operations Manager at the Graeme Dingle Foundation, shares how MyHR has helped bring a national organisation together with a unified approach to HR, and how MyHR helps their mission as an active supporter and donor.
Organisation: Graeme Dingle Foundation
Industry: Not-for-profits, youth development and education
Location: New Zealand
Team size: 100+ employees
Dispersed trusts, inconsistent processes.
Before engaging MyHR, the Foundation operated as a number of separate regional trusts, each with its own way of managing its people and HR. Bringing those trusts together meant aligning their HR practices and creating consistent rules and processes for the entire organisation.
With people spread around the country, no dedicated HR team, and a tight budget, the Foundation needed a system that was powerful, reliable, and cost effective.
Standardised HR processes, with real human expertise when it matters.
The Foundation solidified all of its HR practices with MyHR. Standardised documentation now sits behind everything the team does, and the platform streamlines every process, from recruiting a new team member and producing their employment agreement to onboarding them. It's all there, in one place.
Just as important for Claire is knowing the Foundation can access MyHR’s team of real employment experts whenever they need to, all included in the service.
For MyHR, the relationship goes beyond simply providing a best-in-class HR platform. MyHR is proud to support the Foundation’s work as an active donor, and MyHR CEO Jason Ennor contributes his time as a mentor.
"The Foundation’s focus on real outcomes and its empathetic approach aligns closely with our own values. We love what they do."
— Jason Ennor, Co-Founder and CEO, MyHR
Consistency, efficiency, and more time to focus on the mission.
HR at the Graeme Dingle Foundation is now consistent across the whole organisation, with a single set of processes replacing what used to be many. MyHR lightens the load for Claire and the team while providing a cost-effective way to manage HR.
Most importantly, the time and money saved can go towards what the Foundation is there to do: supporting young people.
Recruiting, contracting, and onboarding employees follows a clear, consistent framework.
Documentation and processes are standardised across all regions.
Less time and money spent on HR means more resources are available for youth programmes.
HR operations that empower the Foundation's mission.
For Claire, MyHR has been invaluable. For charities with lean budgets and people spread across multiple locations, the combination of easy-to-use software, consistent processes, and expert HR support means more time and money for the mission that matters.
"If you've got a charity and people are spread around and no HR team, give it a go. For us, it's been so invaluable, and I think just the results will speak for themselves."
