  • Recording Personal Data
  • Logging of Overtime and LIEU
  • easily request Holiday leave
  • The UI could do with being more Up to date, i find it easy to use but is quite cartoon like.
  • More Details for skills is required, I have some certifications but the system does not recognise the Brand
  • Emails that are sent out could use an overhaul as they don't stand out as much as i think they should

  • PeopleHR before access, a few things - Access now - unfortunately can't list much
  • Communication - In my opinion, extremely poor customer service (including basic interpersonal skills etc), shocking response times, often just ignored.
  • Following on from above, very hard to get in touch with anyone by phone. Extremely long call answering times - have given up waiting many times.
  • Cost - used to be very competitively priced before Access took over, but prices keep going up. Supposedly because of new functionality but our business never benefited from any new features yet we were still charged more.
  • Lots of system issues - often we couldn't even log into the system because of system problems. Seemed like the system went down very frequently.
  • No dedicated account manager. It would be great to have a dedicated account manager who you could contact for any issues, instead trying to contact any central team within Access is a nightmare. See below.
  • I feel their Access Support Portal/ticket system is terrible. Rather than being able to talk through an issue with someone who have to raise a ticket through the portal but often i had reps trying to close down tickets before even resolving the issue.

  • Complex reporting is made easy through the reporting capabilities of the system. We have been using reports for the past year and absolutely trust the accuracy of the data produced. The reports are generated easily through the system and can be exported into an editable Excel spreadsheet which is great.
  • The self-service of data is great for freeing up HR time. Employees can update their personal information themselves quickly and easily.
  • The App is a great feature of People HR. A large proportion of our employees work in our warehouse and as such don't have their own computer at work. The app allows those employees easy access to the system on the go.
  • The system tends to be particularly slow on Monday mornings and sometimes can be down for a couple of hours at a time which is frustrating for employees
  • The naming of the tabs isn't as clear as they could be. For example, reports are called Queries. Makes getting used to
  • The org chart isn't very user-friendly, would be better to be able to export department by department

  • PeopleHR takes on board business case ideas to improve their software. The more customers that request the business case to be brought forward, the higher on the priority list it becomes.
  • The holiday / annual leave planner is great - it can log all instances of leave and has a built-in return to work form.
  • The applicant tracking system for recruitment is very easy to use and can integrate with your own company website.
  • The applicant tracking system still has room for improvement with integrating with external job boards like Indeed / Jobsite.co.uk / Directgov etc.
  • There is an option for creating forms with signatures but it doesn't allow for comments/feedback/changes/versions.
