The Challenge
In 2020, Amazing Transformations, a New Jersey Department of Education Approved Agency for school-related behavioral services, was experiencing rapid growth. Specializing in working with children and teens on the autism spectrum and those with various developmental and behavioral challenges, the company quickly outgrew its manual HR processes. With over 100 employees initially, Amazing Transformations provided critical behavioral services both in schools and at their headquarters in Voorhees, NJ. As demand grew, the company projected reaching over 300 employees by the end of 2024. To manage this expansion and improve operational efficiency, Amazing Transformations partnered with Lindenberger Group for HR consulting and strategic guidance.
The Solution
Lindenberger Group conducted a thorough HR audit to identify gaps in the company’s processes and develop a path forward. The focus was on implementing systems that would help the company manage its rapid growth while maintaining its commitment to quality care.
Key initiatives included:
- Implementing an HR Database: As the workforce grew, manual record-keeping and hiring processes became unsustainable. Lindenberger Group helped Amazing Transformations implement an HR database to streamline hiring, employee records, and internal communications. This system allowed the company to manage job searches and interviews more efficiently, preparing them for continued growth.
- Enhancing Employee Onboarding and Communication: Given the widespread locations of their staff, consistent communication was essential. Lindenberger Group helped develop a comprehensive employee handbook, ensuring compliance with New Jersey state regulations, while also automating communication systems to streamline employee onboarding and training.
- Supporting HR Staff Development: With a growing workforce, the company required dedicated HR leadership. Lindenberger Group facilitated the onboarding of a full-time HR manager, ensuring that Amazing Transformations had experienced HR leadership in place as they prepared for the school year.
