How IGF reduced HR admin time by 90 hours per month
The 50skills system is simple, user-friendly, and evolving to meet our needs. It’s transformed our HR processes, saving us time, reducing errors, and improving employee satisfaction.
INTRODUCING ÍSLENSKA GÁMAFÉLAGIÐ
The client
Íslenska gámafélagið is a leading Icelandic company employing around 350 people across nine locations, representing 14 different nationalities. The HR team consists of four specialists managing HR, payroll, and training functions. The company’s HR department plays a critical role in implementing new solutions to strengthen digital capabilities and improve operational efficiency.
BUSINESS GAPS
The challenge
Given the scale and diversity of Íslenska gámafélagið, managing HR processes manually was a cumbersome task. The company needed to streamline its HR operations to improve employee experience, reduce errors, and create time for more strategic projects. The existing manual systems were slowing down the HR team, leading to inefficiencies, inconsistent communication, and high administrative workloads.
50SKILLS
Our solution
The HR team at Íslenska gámafélagið turned to 50skills for a comprehensive automation solution. With the system’s user-friendly interface and powerful automation features, the team was able to optimise key HR processes such as onboarding, offboarding, grant applications, employee requests, reminders, notifications, and event registrations. The 50skills portal enabled HR professionals to easily manage and monitor employee data, reduce manual errors, and significantly speed up processes.
50skills enabled Íslenska gámafélagið to:
- Automate onboarding tasks, reducing setup time for new hires.
- Improve document management, making files accessible to both managers and employees in one central location.
- Reduce manual work and email communication, allowing HR staff to focus on strategic initiatives.
- Provide transparency with real-time updates and notifications, ensuring efficient follow-ups.
BUSINESS IMPACT
The results
Since implementing 50skills in February 2025, Íslenska gámafélagið has seen impressive time and cost savings:
- The onboarding process has been streamlined, saving around 90 hours per month.
- Onboarding time per employee has decreased from an average of 3 hours to 2 hours, with plans to reduce it further to 1.5 hours through increased automation and AI.
- The 50skills platform has saved the HR team time by reducing manual input and errors, improving document handling, and reducing email communication.
- With the system’s simplicity and ease of use, employees and managers can now handle HR tasks independently, leading to increased employee satisfaction.
BUSINESS BENEFITS
Driving continuous improvement in HR
The automation process has not only saved time and reduced errors but also enhanced the overall HR experience for both employees and managers. The 50skills platform’s continuous evolution ensures that Íslenska gámafélagið can keep improving its HR operations. With plans to expand automation further—such as integrating AI-powered agents for employee questions and adding new HR processes to the portal—the company is looking forward to continued innovation and cultural change.
“We are constantly exploring how we can use 50skills even better,” says Chantal Ösp van Erven. “We’ve seen how the system evolves and adapts to our needs, and it’s been exciting to work closely with the 50skills team to customise our processes.”
Íslenska gámafélagið is focused on integrating even more HR processes into 50skills, with a special emphasis on increasing employee and manager engagement with the portal. Future developments include AI-driven analytics to identify HR trends, a manager-specific portal for easier access to key information, and continued system integration with other platforms. The team’s long-term goal is to transform their HR department into an even more efficient and accessible resource for employees, while fostering a workplace culture driven by innovation.
