Riga, February 10, 2012. Company Premier Restaurants Latvia, McDonald’ s representative in the Baltic States, has selected personnel management system HRB Portal to automate the HR business process of its restaurants network. A key factor in the decision making became functional options of HRB Portal – web application that allows remote operations and involves line employees to work with the personnel management system, thus reducing the work load of HR department and accounting department.

In addition, the HRB Portal enables editing, thus allowing users to customize the specific HR-processes without the involvement of external consultants.
