THE CHANGE JOURNEY MAPPER

A Practical Framework for HR Tech Adoption That Actually Works 

Why HR Tech Fails — Even When the Platform Is Sound 

UK organisations are investing in platforms like Employment Hero to streamline HR, payroll, and employee engagement. But many rollouts stall — not because the system lacks capability, but because the change journey was poorly mapped. 

Employees resist what feels imposed. Managers revert to old tools. Support tickets pile up. And what should have been a high-trust transformation turns into a low-use system. 

At Technoivity, we’ve seen this pattern too often. That’s why we created the Change Journey Mapper — a practical, people-first adoption model built around the real needs of mid-sized UK teams. 

What This Guide Will Help You Do 

• Understand why adoption breaks down — and where to catch it early 

• Align your Employment Hero rollout with daily workflows, not just system features 

• Plan your implementation in phases that support change, not overwhelm it 

• Build trust through involvement, not just training 

Three Common Mistakes That Undermine HR Tech Rollouts 

🛑 Going live all at once 

Most platforms have many modules. Launching them all at once creates confusion and fatigue. Start small. Sequence it. 

🛑 Training the system, not the job 

Employees don’t need to “learn Employment Hero.” They need to know how it supports their job — from logging leave to managing performance. 

🛑 Ignoring change fatigue 

Even helpful tools are resisted when change feels unclear or rushed. Without context, rollout becomes just another task. 

The 6-Phase Change Journey Framework 

This approach is based on our work implementing Employment Hero across UK SMEs. It’s grounded in how teams actually adopt change. 

1. Awareness & Context 

Identify what’s not working now — delays, duplications, frustrations. Then link these pain points to what Employment Hero can do better. 

2. Exploration & Involvement 

Bring people in early. Show what’s coming. Gather feedback. Get buy-in before go-live. 

3. Task-Based Learning 

Train by role, not by module. Help each person see how Employment Hero helps them, not just HR. 

4. Quick Wins & Support 

Start with small wins (e.g. paperless contracts, payslip access). Combine with simple, human support. 

5. Workflow Integration 

Make Employment Hero part of the day-to-day — not another tool people avoid. Build routines inside the platform. 

6. Evolve & Improve 

Use feedback, usage data, and team sentiment to refine the rollout over time. Continuous improvement keeps adoption alive. 

Who This Is For 

✅ HR, Operations, and People leaders rolling out Employment Hero
