PROJECT: GOJO Benefits Team

CATEGORY: CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

NOMINATOR: Katherine Leckrone
SPONSOR:

LEADER: 8209

PROFILE:
Describe the situation or event related to the individual's or team's performance.
The team worked cohesively and collaboratively to deliver a great result - the online
portal for employee benefits information and transactions. They also added value
by having the transactions flow to the payroll system, Kronos, electronically and
eliminating manual tasks (keying) and maintaining a history record. The other value
add was giving employees a digital portal to keep track of life insurance
beneficiaries and the ability to make changes electronically in the future. This
replace a completed paper/outdated process.

The team clearly demonstrated the value of the GOJO NWow Technology and
Tools in improving the employee experience.

Competencies demonstrated included Planning, Functional and Technical Skills,
Informing, Managing Through Systems, Learning on the Fly, and Technical
Learning. Data needed to be scrubbed to properly import the files to the 3rd party
and to make a clean file transaction back to Payroll. This is truly working in a
modern, digital way that fits with an innovative organization.

Describe in detail the individual's or team's notable behaviors.
This team managed to complete the implementation on time, and in time for Open
Enrollment. The team delivered a tool that is valued by GOJO employees and is
not just a "practitioners" tool. The data integrity auditing, and data scrubbing was,
while tedious, essential to make this project go forward and keep employee trust
when viewing their data as accurate.

What were the results of the individual’s or team’s behaviors?
Part of the GOJO strategic initiatives include:
5.4 Build and deploy digital expertise throughout the enterprise
5.5 Ground business decisions in better data and analytics, exploiting the digital
revolution.
5.6 Challenge legacy paradigms and processes to root out non and sub-production
expenditures and eradicate value-diluting busy work.

This project hit all three initiatives and achieved an enhanced way of working for a
digital GOJO.
