altHR x MyFundAction: Empowering NGOs to Create a Better World

The digital era is truly here, and along with the multitude of benefits come a series of challenges for employees, employers, and organisations as well. These include the difficulties of adjusting to digital tools, adapting to a new way of working, and other cultural changes that we’ve seen across the world of workforce management in 2022, 2023, and beyond.

To overcome some of the obstacles of this transitionary period, Malaysian companies have had to adopt a digital-first approach, one that relies on the right digital tools and services. In the digital era, apps like CelcomDigi’s super app, altHR, have become absolute must-haves for businesses of all sizes in Malaysia. 

This includes NGOs, such as youth-run MyFundAction — whose workforce management recently underwent digital transformation with CelcomDigi’s super app: altHR.

The Customer: 

MyFundAction

MyFundAction is a non-profit organisation run by Youth that embraces love and passion through volunteerism and entrepreneurship.

Previously known as Yayasan Dana Kebajikan Muslim Malaysia (YDKMM), MyFundAction is funded entirely through the business and voluntary support of millions of people and organisations worldwide, aiming to alleviate the burden of low-income groups, underprivileged, and senior citizens communities.

The Problem

Prior to the switch to altHR, MyFundAction only used digital platforms to track payroll and leave entitlements — without having an app to handle the end-to-end of their HR. 

This led to key decision-makers at the NGO on their search for an all-in-one solution to help solve:

Attendance-tracking

To help maintain discipline on attendance, MyFundAction required a secure, reliable, and accurate system to track employee attendance

User-friendly UI & UX

For employees, it was crucial for the app to be easy to use, while remaining comprehensive and powerful

Manual work for admins

With a number of separate systems in place previously, they required a solution to reduce the manual work for administrative staff

“We need one platform to automate certain things. And altHR had the full range of modules that we wanted — not many other systems are as complete as altHR.”

The Solution

Many employers and HR professionals deal with similar challenges associated with adopting the right digital tools and technologies, as well as inevitable growing pains. 

By leveraging off the altHR team, along with the available resources (including the altHR Resources blog and altHR Library), MyFundAction was seamlessly onboarded to altHR. Employees found it to be an easy transition, with the well-designed UI making the transition smooth and seamless — for both admins and employees.

Less paperwork

There is now a significant reduction of manual, repetitive tasks for admins.

Minimal disruption

Employees were able to quickly acclimate to the altHR system from legacy systems and processes with no disruption to the day-to-day. 

The Outcome

MyFundAction’s HR operations are now future-proof and digitally resilient, allowing employers and employees to focus on what matters most. 

With its comprehensive suite of features, altHR has proven that powerful does not need to be complicated

“The best part about altHR is that it’s easy and compact to use. We’d recommend altHR to other organisations — particularly if it’s your first time undergoing digital HR transformation.”
