How Silvera for Seniors Simplified HR and Payroll with Workzoom
Caring for seniors across 36 Calgary buildings
Silvera for Seniors required better workforce management for 400 employees. Their HR and payroll tools were fragmented across multiple systems with primarily manual processes. As a non-profit focused on senior care, administrative burden diverted attention from resident support. Workzoom consolidated these functions into a unified platform.
Silvera is a Calgary-based non-profit offering affordable housing for seniors across 36 buildings, serving over 2,300 residents with independent and supportive living options.
Too much manual work, too many disconnected tools
For a non-profit organization focused on resident care, every hour spent on administrative processes is an hour not spent supporting staff and seniors.
Too Much Manual Work
Every task consumed excessive time, from onboarding to time tracking.
Scheduling Was Hard to Manage
No built-in shift planning or real-time hour tracking capability existed.
Too Many Disconnected Tools
HR and payroll information scattered across separate systems with no centralized management.
Limited Time and Budget
As a non-profit, cost-effective solutions without added complexity were essential.
One platform that connects it all
Workzoom brought HR, payroll, timekeeping, and scheduling into a single connected system, reducing manual effort and giving Silvera's team more time for what matters most.
One Connected System
HR, payroll, timekeeping, and scheduling integrated into a single platform, eliminating the need to manage multiple disconnected tools.
Less Admin Work
Onboarding, timesheets, and approvals handled through built-in workflows, significantly reducing the time staff spend on administrative tasks.
Self-Serve Tools for Staff
Employees access pay information, request time off, and update information independently, reducing dependency on HR for routine requests.
Accurate Scheduling and Pay
Shift planning directly connects to payroll systems for transparency and accuracy, ensuring staff are paid correctly every cycle.
Before Workzoom, we were buried in spreadsheets and paperwork. Now our HR tasks are so much simpler. We're spending less time on admin and more time supporting our staff and residents.
