Meet Regal Partners: Modernising for a Scalable Future

Regal Partners is a leading Australian investment manager, known for delivering strong results across public and private markets. With a growing workforce and a strong operational culture, Regal recognised the need to bring HR into a new era—moving away from manual processes and towards a centralised, digital-first way of working. They had already selected their HRIS platform and were looking for a partner who could deliver a structured, value-driven implementation—one that balanced compliance, speed, and employee experience.

The Challenge: Going Live with Confidence

While Regal had chosen their HRIS platform, they knew that selecting software was only half the battle. The real challenge was ensuring the system was set up properly, adopted smoothly, and could start delivering value from day one—with limited resources dedicated to the project. 

Their key goals for implementation included: 

  • A smooth MVP launch with the core HRIS functionality required to support immediate operational needs 
  • A structured onboarding experience to ensure employees and managers felt confident in the system 
  • Clean data migration and configuration aligned with the needs of a financial services environment 
  • Foundational compliance and document workflows to replace manual processes and reduce risk 

To achieve this, they engaged Digital Directions as a dedicated implementation partner to guide the project, accelerate onboarding, and support internal alignment. 

The Solution: A High-Value, Hands-On Implementation focused on a realistic MVP

Our role was to lead the implementation from planning to go-live, ensuring each stage was strategically aligned with Regal’s internal capacity, compliance needs, and employee experience goals. 

Here’s how we supported Regal: 

  1. Fast Start, Clear Roadmap

We kicked off with a series of deep-dive sessions to align on MVP scope, critical workflows, data requirements, and onboarding timelines. With compliance and operational readiness front of mind, we developed a tailored implementation roadmap spanning 120 days. 

  1. Configuration & Data Migration

We managed the system configuration and data preparation to ensure a clean and accurate build. This included aligning document storage workflows, org structure setup, and manager self-service functionality tailored to Regal’s operating model. 

  1. Engaging Onboarding Experience

We worked hand-in-hand with Regal’s internal team to design a thoughtful onboarding experience that would give staff and managers clarity, confidence, and quick wins in the new system. 

  1. Training & Change Support

Alongside structured training sessions, we provided tailored guidance to support system adoption across the business—ensuring HR leaders and end users had the tools and support they needed to succeed. 

The Outcome: A Confident Step Into the Future of HR

By project close, Regal Partners had successfully launched their new HRIS MVP—on time and with clear momentum. 

Key results included: 

  • Successful MVP Go-Live in 120 Days: The system was live and operational within the agreed timeframe, focused on foundational HR functionality. 
  • Streamlined Core Processes: Leave management, onboarding, and employee records were transitioned to the new system with strong user engagement. 
  • Compliance-Ready Workflows: Key HR documentation and approvals were centralised and digitised, reducing manual overhead and risk. 
  • Positive User Feedback: Employees and managers reported a strong initial experience, with minimal friction and clear communication throughout onboarding. 

A Trusted Implementation Partner for Long-Term Success

Our engagement with Regal Partners was a focused, execution-driven partnership—built around delivering value from day one. By coming in post-selection, our role was to ensure that the investment Regal had already made in their HRIS platform paid off through a successful implementation and adoption process. Together, we laid the groundwork for Regal’s people operations to continue evolving with confidence, clarity, and control.
