HR software FAQs

HR software is a type of software designed to streamline and automate various aspects of human resource management within an organisation. It serves as a centralised platform to manage a wide range of HR functions, such as payroll processing, time and attendance tracking, recruitment and onboarding, and performance management.

The best human resources software for you will depend on your organisation's specific business needs, so start by considering your current requirements and goals to identify a solution with the right features. For smaller businesses, software specialising in core HR functions might be enough. Or you might want to consider a more advanced system with additional tools and capabilities to help you manage performance and improve employee satisfaction.

Human resources software is suitable for any business that employees staff, or has a growing team. Sage HR is ideal for both small and medium-sized businesses with up to 250 employees, as well as those with more complex business and HR reporting needs. This might also include businesses which have recently grown, or are continuing to recruit new talent. 

Sage People is ideal for mid-sized, global or multi-locational organisations. It enables organisations to transform the way that they attract, manage, engage, and retain people, wherever they are. Sage People is highly flexible and pricing is dependent on the number of employees, functionality, configuration and other factors.

Sage HR software resources are easy to use, flexible, and allow you to access your data anywhere, anytime.

HR software can help your business in several ways:

  • Reduces admin for HR managers and teams by streamlining all processes, from booking and approving holidays to performance reviews.
  • Improves staff engagement with surveys and announcements.
  • Helps you make better decisions with reports on metrics such as staff absence, performance, and employee retention.
  • Provides better data and GDPR compliance by allowing you to manage and store personal data in one place with secure, controlled access.
  • Keeps all your policies in one place up to date, ensuring all staff have access to the latest versions.
