Zelt is the perfect OKR tracking, all in one HR platform for Spotted Zebra

Mark Chalmers, the Head of People, faced a daunting task. With the team size rapidly approaching 60 members, relying on individual spreadsheets and separate systems to manage HR processes was becoming unsustainable. Mark needed a comprehensive platform that could manage employee information, track absences, conduct engagement surveys, facilitate performance evaluations, and offer easy data exporting. The platform also needed to integrate seamlessly with tools like Workable for onboarding, equipment management systems for IT purposes, and systems for automating background checks.

Zelt emerged as the answer to Mark’s challenges. Beyond merely being an HRIS, Zelt consolidated various functionalities, thus eliminating the need for multiple systems. With Zelt, Mark found himself saving considerable time and effort, handling everything from storing employee contracts to sending out engagement surveys, all from a singular platform.

One of Zelt’s standout features, as highlighted by Chief of Staff Patrick Davis, was its capacity to handle OKRs efficiently. Davis appreciated that the tool permitted employees and line managers to establish and monitor OKRs with minimal intervention from HR or leadership. Gone were the days of cumbersome spreadsheets; now, with a growing team, Zelt made the OKR process straightforward and integrated.

A critical element that set Zelt apart, especially when compared to competitors like Humaans, was its holistic approach. As Davis emphasized, having a shared calendar feature for time-off information was instrumental in facilitating teamwide meetings. The platform’s all-encompassing nature meant that employees were already familiar with it for tasks like checking holiday schedules or verifying pay. Chalmers, handling multiple HR tasks single-handedly, found the unified platform to be a game-changer, making his workload more manageable and efficient.
