About PeopleWerksHR
PeopleWerksHR was created in 2005 in direct response to a school district’s efficiency problem with its personnel data. At the time, all personnel data was kept in multiple spreadsheets across various departments, often duplicating the same information, and none of it was accurately maintained across the organization. As a result of working directly with the Director of HR, the Personnel Assistant, and others from the fiscal department and the Superintendent’s office, PeopleWerksHR was created to centralize common functions for managing human resource data.
Over the years, with input from our users, PeopleWerksHR has undergone many major updates to meet the evolving demands of managing personnel data. Throughout this evolution, the primary goal of managing any data about any person who works in the organization has always remained the focus: doing so easily and efficiently. Today, PeopleWerksHR is the only human resource management solution for K-12 education that truly captures the entire personnel data record, from time of hire to time of exit.
About Kiza Solutions
Our founders Bill & Amanda moved to Rwanda in 2013 with their young family with the broad and ambitious goal of engaging with the developing world for good.
Amanda accepted a legal fellowship with International Justice Mission, and then launched the non-profit Pure & Faultless Rwanda (https://pureandfaultless.org/) to help support children in Rwanda who have survived sexual assault and who are now raising children of their own. She also co-authored the book, In Defense of the Fatherless about orphan care.
Bill leveraged his experience as a software engineer to help Rwanda Trading Company work more effectively and extend its positive impact with local coffee farmers. Inspired by the success of this initial engagement, Bill and Amanda began hiring and training local software developers in order to take on additional clients.
Now headquartered in the U.S. in Cincinnati, OH, Kiza Solutions continues to have an office of developers based in Rwanda while the team has expanded to include developers in other African countries as well.
