GreyStone Power Corporation, a vital part of its Georgia community for nearly 85 years, has a clear mission: “Making Life Better.” This philosophy guides every aspect of their work, from serving over 133,000 customers to fostering a workplace culture prioritizing employee well-being.

Known for its exceptional employee retention—nearly half the national average turnover rate—GreyStone Power’s commitment to its workforce is unparalleled. Competitive benefits, including 100% employer-paid medical and dental premiums, reflect their dedication to supporting their employees as much as their community.

“Having one company that hosts our system and supports all the companion products is invaluable. Net at Work ensures everything works seamlessly together, and there’s never any finger-pointing —just solutions.”

But behind this success is a commitment to modern HR practices and technology. With nearly 300 employees and plans for continued growth, GreyStone Power turned to Net at Work to build a robust HR technology stack that could keep pace with their needs while streamlining operations.

Energizing Success

When Rita Wilson joined GreyStone Power as HR Manager, she saw an opportunity to transform the HR department into a proactive, strategic force. She partnered with Net at Work to implement Sage HRMS, hosted on the Cloud at Work platform, along with companion tools like Sage Alerts & Workflows, training and recruiting solutions, and HR Analytics.

“These tools have allowed us to stay ahead of our responsibilities and focus on what matters most—our people,” Wilson explains. “Net at Work introduced solutions that eliminated manual touchpoints and kept tasks moving.”

Using Sage Alerts & Workflows, GreyStone Power has automated notifications for key compliance tasks, like I-9 recertifications, DOT physicals, and employee milestones like birthdays and work anniversaries. This automation frees up valuable time for the HR team and ensures nothing slips through the cracks.

Real-Time Insights Drive Informed Decisions

HR Analytics has become an essential tool for GreyStone Power’s leadership, providing real-time reports on workforce diversity, retirement eligibility, and succession planning. These insights empower managers and executives to make informed decisions, ensuring the organization is prepared for the future.

“Our analytics tools allow us to see the big picture while staying on top of the details,” says Wilson. “It’s a proactive approach that keeps us aligned with our goals.”

This integration of technology and strategy has made a significant impact, allowing GreyStone Power to maintain a lean HR team of just five full-time employees while managing nearly 300 staff members and planning for growth

A Partnership that Delivers

Hosting Sage HRMS on the Cloud at Work platform has further enhanced GreyStone Power’s efficiency by reducing IT workload and ensuring secure, reliable access to their systems. “Having one company that hosts our system and supports all the companion products is invaluable,” Wilson notes. “Net at Work ensures everything works seamlessly together, and there’s never any finger-pointing—just solutions.”

Together, Net at Work and GreyStone Power form a true power couple, seamlessly blending technology and service to empower employees and drive operational excellence. Wilson praises Net at Work’s responsiveness and deep expertise. “Their team constantly asks how they can make things easier for us. They’re more than a vendor; they’re a partner we can trust to support our goals.”
