Congratulations to the winners of the 2019 Top Rated HR Management Software award!

What is HR Management Software?

Human Resource (HR) Management software provides users with the tools needed to conduct traditional back-end HR functions such as payroll, benefits administration, employee tracking and record keeping, workflow transfers, and employee self-service. These products may also be called ‘Core HR’ or ‘Human Resource Information Systems’ (HRIS). More recently, vendors have started attaching additional ‘strategic’ HR modules to their solutions and referring to them as Human Capital Management (HCM) suites. Talent Management, also still a software category in its own right, is one of the recent additions to many HR Management solutions. It typically includes talent acquisition and retention, recruiting & ATS, onboarding, learning management, employee engagement tools (e.g. surveys), succession planning, and performance management capabilities. Workforce Management is another ‘strategic’ HR module that many vendors have integrated into their HCM suite offerings. It generally includes workforce tracking and analytics, time tracking & attendance, and leave management capabilities.
