Product Details

What is Sympa?

Sympa's goal is to free HR professionals from restrictive technology so they can focus on developing their people. Companies can use Sympa’s complete, global core HR solution to make the data-driven, smart decisions that lead to HR functions that support every person across their organisations.

Sympa offers companies:
  • Software that gives a clear view on all people data​
  • A system that supports all HR processes​
  • Unlimited integrations to other systems​
  • Reporting & analytics ​
  • Automating routine HR tasks
Sympa lets users keep processes and HR data in one place. From this central foundation, the user can build more effiicent and transparent HCM processes. The HR core team and company management, as well as employees, can save time when they have a single location for all things HR.

When it comes to information, Sympa offers a clear, aggregated overview of people data, and lets users manage it in a single, global solution – from hire to retire. With Sympa, HR no longer needs to act as the middle man when people need to access everyday information. Instead, every employee can access their own data and can see relevant information related to their own development.

For team leaders, Sympa offers full insight into their team’s status, happiness, and absences, as well as the opportunity to track their team member’s skills and development. In short, it lets them understand where they can make the most impact with the support they give. With Sympa’s performance management tools, users can closely follow the development of people from the onboarding process all the way through to the end of their employment.

And to ensure organizations have the right people in the right positions with the right shared expectations, Sympa helps run motivating discussions and consistent, standardised appraisals that support two-way dialogues. Sympa saves appraisal discussion information in the system, so users can jointly follow up on agreed steps with each employee, and help them reach their personal and company-wide goals.

Sympa’s reporting and analytics tools support data-driven and smart decision making. Sympa offers access to the information needed to create tangible reports based on any data stored in the system. Build a real-time overview of absences, sick leaves and holidays, then save it as favourite report on a personal, customisable front page. The front page also shows open approval requests from team members and also the status of a team in one overview.

Sympa helps visualise the impact of HR investments with analytics and reporting tools. With access to the right information, making correct decisions about people becomes easier. Sympa offers integrations with more than 50 systems through pre-made connectors. The core HR function can be customized by connecting all HR related software with Sympa. These integrations allow users to store data in Sympa, enabling them to create visual reports also based on data from any connected HR systems.

Sympa’s HR dashboards give access to key HR metrics. These fully modifiable dashboards can be adjusted to show the most important for the organisation, so as to better navigate ever-changing demands and spot possible trends.

Sympa aims to support a fast and effortless implementation, boasting a clear and detailed customer onboarding plan to help users get up and running in no time.

We use Sympa as a custom HR Portal and it houses a wealth of information for staff members. Personally, I used it heavily to guide me during my onboarding with set tasks that were assigned to me. It's also where I update my quarterly quota numbers and enter my yearly PDP details. I can also look up our entire org chart and find contact details and employment info for all our employees - especially helpful since we're a global company. It's also used for PTO requests making it simple to track your available days off that remain.
  • Customized interface.
  • Global Org Chart/Employee lookup.
  • Onboarding tasks.
  • Updating and reviewing personal goals, quotas, and PDP.
  • Loading speeds have been a bit slow at points.
  • Our customized interface is easy to use but beginning to feel a bit dated (could use a refresh).
  • Minor user-interface features could be added to take it to the next level.
In my usage of Sympa, I find that it's very useful for onboarding, goal management, and organizational structure lookups. I haven't yet experienced any areas where it doesn't work well or isn't appropriate. We have many other software systems that work in tandem with Sympa.
