Personio vs. Skyward HRMS

This software could be of great help to many companies to keep an orderly manner and in the same control panel, all the management of their employees. Perfect for human resources departments that want to automate tedious tasks, with the guarantee that they will be well executed.

For a medium sized company I believe Skyward is an acceptable and not too complicated system. I do not work with the back end so I am not aware of the reporting capabilities which would be a deciding factor for some companies. For K12 Education it seems to check all the boxes

Incentivized

• Allows automatic posting of job offers on different sites and portals to find the perfect candidates for available vacancies.
• It has employee tracking tools, such as attendance and absence tracking, as well as time monitoring of working hours and overtime.
• Payroll management is very complete and is done quickly and almost automatically, as it enters hours worked, overtime and absences, with an accurate calculation to avoid errors.

Incentivized

• Skyward is superior in tracking and submitting PTO
• Skyward is accessible in the cloud so 24/7 access
• Menus and screens are fairly easy for non-technical users to navigate

Incentivized

• Some processes could be more automatic or with fewer clicks, for example, role-based authorization, which, although a security feature, could be simplified.
• It is a fairly intuitive and navigable software, but because it is so complete, it has different modules, tools, and functions that can make its learning curve steep.
• Some attributes at the time of payroll cannot be changed or customized.

Incentivized

• The Captcha screen can be needlessly complex or hard to guess due to letters overlapping
• Then time off screen defaults to 0 hours when creating a new entry and the zero does not get replaced... turning 8 hours into 80 hours unintentionally

Not part of the selection process, but the new Skyward system is fr easier, user friendly and full featured than previous systems I have used

Incentivized

• This program is complete, so it allows to have all the human resources management in the same panel, along with all the information of the employees, which streamlines the activities of the department, making us more productive. Employees feel more satisfied with our performance, and we have considerably lowered payroll complaints.

Incentivized

• Previously we had multiple systems for licensed and unlicensed staff, Skyward brings it all together creating a same experience for all users
