Ease of use - we want to support the team with an easy to use platform that can support the knowledge they already have and be a place to educate with new information. We want them to quickly be able to get in and find the information they need to support them, usually in those moments of pressure.

It's great and mostly user friendly. Some of the team have skipped over great information in there as the site was not as intuitive as expected, e.g. finding particular templates.

XpertHR helps me tackle the more unusual problems that I come across both as an HR Business Partner and in my former role as a Senior HR Advisor. There is useful advice on the website including upcoming changes in employment laws, tribunal rulings, sample letters. I often register for the webinars which I find interesting.
  • Webinars
  • Sample letters
  • Advice
  • Searches being back too many options and not always relevant to subject
The dashboard option is really useful and provides regular updates on areas that you have indicated are of interest.
The News and Updates section and the Trending area highlights important and up and coming changes.
I refer to the TUPE section whenever there is a potential TUPE in or out that I am dealing with.
I've not used the Tasks area - I don't see it being a benefit for me, but I'm sure it's invaluable to others
  • Mitigated risk
  • Saved time on research as everything in one site
Sometimes the search results don't return anything like I am looking for
  • Dashboard which shows interests

I have used XpertHR in the business since I joined in 2009. The product covers a wide range of HR tools. Mainly, I use the site for law updates to ensure I am keeping my CPD up to date. I also frequently make use of the Legal Advice which is quick and user friendly to access. I also frequently use the site for document templates. These cover every topic that you can think of needing in HR from policies to template letters. You can easily edit and adapt them to your needs but, they take the time and effort away from needing to draft them from scratch and gives you the confidence you are compliant. I often engage with the surveys as the benchmark data is fantastic for KPI's and assessing business performance against the market place. My only feedback is the search function can be clunky but, there are ways round this in terms of process work flows so you can always find a way to easily source the information you need. As a HR professional I would highly recommend XpertHR!
  • Legal Advice
  • Template Documents
  • Law Updates
  • International Law
  • Search functions
As previously mentioned, the legal advice is great. Sometimes we can all second guess ourselves and so being able to quickly ask for clarity or validation on a simple HR legal matter is great. The response time is usually within an hour. I've used the templates to create and update our policies. For instance when GDPR was introduced I was able to update all policies to reflect this and also quickly create a Privacy Policy that was legally compliant. It takes the time out of such tasks and create efficiencies.
  • Cost saved on internal resources due to time saved
  • Mitigates legal risks
  • Reduces HR legal spend
XpertHR means that we can react to change driven by legal updates and case law quickly and efficiently. This ensures that we are compliant at all times. The legal updates ensure that I am educated as a HR professional and therefore the advice I am providing is accurate and fair.
We regularly review KPI's such as absence, turnover, HR ratio's etc. We are able to develop our HR strategy around trends that impact the business. We use the data contained within XpertHR to benchmark ourselves and develop strategies around this. I would not suggest XpertHR goes beyond what I have already stated for compliance.
I've not used many other systems in my career other than free resources. I frequently use HR Ninja's to seek advice and offer advice. That platform offers a collaborative HR community approach and is highly valued. CIPD do also offer limited guidance but, XpertHR feels more comprehensive as a one stop shop for all needs.

I use the platform daily to get information or insight plus to obtain template letters or other documents I can then adapt for my use. The platform is a one stop shop which has extensive resources which allows me to upskill myself in new or less familiar subjects (e.g. TUPE), obtain information about particular aspects of employment law in the UK to supplement my existing knowledge, or to obtain documents for use. It is the most reliable and effective form of knowledge provision.
  • UK employment legislation compliant clauses for contracts of employment
  • Knowledge and insight into complex employment law areas such as TUPE
  • Extensive policy documentation
  • Nothing comes to mind
Recently I was supporting a SLT on the subject of TUPE and whether they proposed takeover of another company would have TUPE apply. I was able to search XpertHR to locate specific information about the matter of TUPE applying, and went on to extract critical and clear information with examples of caselaw around the subject of TUPE . This was to presented to the SLT for their information and to invite them to review and consider carefully. TUPE is such a complex area of the law, but the information on the platform is well constructed and set out, so sharing that with SLT was useful. It gave them an opportunity to consider the options without the need to engage a costly lawyer.
  • Savings with time
  • Mitigation of risk
  • Reduced legal costs
It has improved the HR compliance of our organisation and, in turn, what we are advising our clients on as a result. We are able to take elements from the platform and rework to suit the needs of the client which, in turn, aides them to remain compliant, practical and commercial.
The regular updates on the platform and the notifications are so important for us managing HR compliance. We are busy doing the day job so having the assurance that the ever changing HR landscape for compliance is clearly set out on the platform and so easy to access. It allows us to do our jobs better.
The other platform was not as intuitive as XpertHR so searching was troublesome. The documents on the other platform would have typos and could be out of date. There was no assurance the documents were legally checked before publication as they are on XpertHR. The overall experience was less positive and did not promote engagement. The price difference was significant, but overall XpertHR has been worth it.
