Lapland, Finland, 16th December 2024 – Christmas®, the undisputed world leader in toy manufacturing and delivery, chooses Cezanne’s HR software suite to help support continuous improvement in a challenging and extreme business environment.
Christmas® introduces Cezanne to support its ‘Three Zeros’ philosophy
Located in the very north of Europe, Christmas® has been at the forefront of bulk toy manufacturing and 24 hour worldwide delivery since the 3rd Century. It enjoys an outstanding track record for timely toy delivery to all the nice children and adults of the world and is considered the undisputed leader in its field.
However, despite the company’s unmatched reputation, it recently underwent an internal review process with the aim of streamlining HR and payroll processes across both its production and logistics divisions.
“The demands of timely production and delivery of high quality customised goods to 2 billion customers in 24 hours puts on our organisation are formidable” says Dr. S. Claus, CEO of Christmas®, “It’s a business which relies on its people to thrive and, of course, deliver year in, year out. However, we were increasingly aware of how our people operations were rooted in the past, leaving us snowed under with inefficiencies. But now, with Cezanne supporting our processes, we’re dashing through our workloads with ease!”
Dr Claus is thrilled at how Cezanne has improved people management processes at Christmas
“We’re dedicated to our ‘Three Zeros’ philosophy: zero returns, zero waste, and zero delayed deliveries. In a nutshell: total quality. Achieving this ambitious vision requires more than just determination – it demands the ability to adapt swiftly to ever-changing customer preferences. That’s why we rely on a team of highly skilled, motivated professionals, backed by an exceptionally efficient Elfish Resources (ER) department. This ensures our people are supported, empowered, and always ready to deliver.”
“Now with Cezanne’s comprehensive HR software solution, we can sleigh potential issues in staffing or competence mismatch as soon as they arise. This means our amazing Elfish Resources and payroll teams can focus on decking the halls with strategic objectives, instead of getting lost under paperwork!”
Perfecting performance for all
Mrs Claus, Head of Elfish Resources at Christmas® said that the ample functionality in Cezanne’s Performance Management software and its ease of use have also enhanced their internal processes.
Mrs Claus has also been impressed by Cezanne’s performance management software
“Leveraging the power of the Cezanne Performance Management module, we can now complete the performance appraisal process just 3 weeks after Christmas, rather than by late spring as was the case. This allows the top management to act on the results and plan training of Elves well in advance, thus resulting in overall better results, both in quality of service and in the satisfaction of our employers.”
Meanwhile, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Christmas’s Head of Logistics added that “Cezanne’s Recruitment software module has been a true Christmas miracle! It’s allowed us to streamline the selection process for reindeer and elves alike, ensuring we’re not dashing through the snow trying to fill roles at the last minute. The result? Faster processes, better hires, and a sleigh team that’s always ready to shine, no matter how foggy it gets!”
Everyone at Cezanne is thrilled to be part of such a wonderful partnership, and would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
