Employees are able to effortlessly input and upload all required information using the software, resulting in a seamless onboarding experience. Reviewers highly commend the ELMO software for its intuitive interface and positive impact on organizational training efforts, benefiting both new hires and existing staff members. Organizations have utilized ELMO to overcome challenges related to recruitment and onboarding processes, HR compliance management, and centralizing employee data. Since implementing ELMO, they have been able to standardize recruitment processes, decrease administrative time, make data-driven people-related decisions, and increase efficiency. Employees appreciate ELMO as a valuable tool for managing performance review cycles, coordinating feedback, and sharing information. It is also used for self-development, company training, maintaining compliance transparency, and managing career opportunities within the organization. Overall, while some users have noted areas for improvement such as the 'leave' function being less user-friendly compared to other features, the software has proven to be an essential solution for streamlining HR processes and enhancing organizational effectiveness.

Compass is an outstanding tool to help a manager organize the team's objectives, accomplishment measurement, training needs and evolution. The concept of self-evaluation and later revision by the manager is appealing. The whole approach is easy to learn and follow even for an untrained employee, and has been a great improvement over the previous spreadsheet-based evaluation system. It is yet to be seen how the performance links with remuneration.

Maybe creating 2 separate training modules for the basic tradesman employed by Stowe and one more in-depth for the responsibilities to be taken more seriously by the management team, who often are just experienced workers (only because of the time they spent working for Stowe other than for having undertaken more comprehensive educations and courses on Health and Safety)

Ideal for learning and development purposes. Sometimes glitches are in progress but it has apparently been due to the trainer's error, not the system necessarily. Not great for performance review. Locked into questions that may not have any relevance to a particular job.

Good to have all the HR stuff related to my job in one place. Great to have the record of PD all in one place. Good that I can update my own personal records to ensure the organisation has my latest contact information etc... The leave processes were not that user-friendly and for whatever reasons we no longer use these forms via ELMO Software.

The performance review process is clear and easy to complete, for both employee and manager. I have experienced this in both roles, with my own staff, and undergoing my own review with my manager. I haven't experienced scenarios where it is less appropriate, I think our HR department customised the software well to our needs.

We use it for variety of purposes especially I like it because of the performance review cycles that are assigned and workflow associated. Its pretty easy to manage with a clean and nice interface and less of a clutter which makes life easy and quick. It is very easy to get the lead feedback and coordinate as well. I really like using it

ELMO is easy to use if you are a company with lots of office workers. If you have staff that do not have frequent access to a computer then it is less appealing for staff to access regularly.

ELMO is good for recording learning but needs a more comprehensive or flexible reporting system that does not require downloading a cvs file for adjustment/formatting.

ELMO has ease of setup for Onboarding/New Starters and performance reviews.

Our industry is heavily regulated and as such we have hundreds of policies, procedures and other documentation that needs to be part of our Learning Management System. ELMO allows us to set these up in 'assignment rules' so that an employee is allocated the correct training on commencement, without the administrative burden that other systems had.

ELMO is a very suitable HRIS for mid-size organisations: it is affordable (from a budget perspective) and has a wide range of most relevant modules (e.g. Payroll, Learning and Development, Performance Management, HR Core, etc.). The support desk team is just amazing: very responsive and resourceful; a great asset to the company.
