I use it to stay up to date about the new laws in The Netherlands. Additionally, when I have HR related questions for other European countries I research for information on the platform as a base to know what to look for to get the right information.
  • Sending updates via email about new HR laws
  • providing information in an organized way
  • giving webinars
  • International law
  • providing templates in English
  • focussed email alerts to the right sector
How to write an improvement plan for an associate. They were very helpful in the steps to take and providing several templates.

Less appropriate is when I need to know exactly the law about holidays in belgium.

To check labor law clauses and to look for examples clauses.
  • Knowledge documents covering the entire subject.
  • Examples for contract clauses.
  • Case law to get interpretations of law.
  • More examples than the ones you find everywhere.
  • Sometimes important details are missing when you have a specific case.
On a short term you have a good overview of a topic. It helps also a lot that you can get examples of clauses, agreements etc. They are very useful when you must draft such ones for your company. This is even more important when new topics have to be implemented due to, for example, new legislation.

XpertHR is used as a resource for the HR team. It provides good detail on HR subjects and additional resources such as training presentations and template letters. The content is relevant to people working in various areas across HR, including Learning & Development, Policy Development, and Employee Relations. It provides ready access to reliable information and documents that are easy to download and ready to use.
  • Provides content on topical issues.
  • Provides useful templates.
  • Has a well structured site.
  • Integration with other systems e.g. Microsoft Teams to provide easier access.
  • PowerPoint presentations updated to be fully accessible.
  • Provide eLearning templates.
XpertHR is well suited to providing a good starting point for introducing a new policy or reviewing an existing one. The content organization helps reduce the risk of overlooking relevant considerations. A section on Trending topics provides a helpful prompt to keep current on current issues. The regular email alerts are sound, too, flagging up new resources.

We use XpertHR regularly for policies, training, and advice with regard to legal issues and changes, especially those coming this year. It is like a library of information that is easy to access and, most of all, trustworthy.
  • Policy preparation and explanation about its use.
  • Salary review data and surveys.
  • Changes in law the impact and the advice needed to work around the issue.
  • I have found it very easy to use and find more than what I actually needed.
  • I cannot think of any improvements as we are very happy with it.
  • Perhaps sometimes downloading charts has been challenging.
It is perfect for policies, and it follows through with policies on other helpful information that you might not have thought of, such as training screens and further research on the topic. It also refers to global information, which is useful when working in an international company. I cannot think of anything that is less appropriate as we get everything we need from it.

XpertHR is a fantastic tool to rely on when working through HR queries and new processes. It is used throughout our wider HR team, whether it is an employee relation query or something more Reward-related. It has a wealth of information and includes hints & tips with up-to-date on-trend issues. It is a one-stop shop for HR professionals and a firm favorite within our organization.
  • New and updated processes.
  • Benchmarking
  • I don't feel like there is anything missing.
  • This satisfies my HR needs.
It is very well suited to Performance, annual leave and holiday pay, and contract of employment.

We use XpertHR globally in our offices as an HR tool. Unfortunately, it's limited in Hungary, but it has a lot of useful articles and help pages for our UK entity. It can be helpful if you have questions regarding local labour laws and if you just want to double check on something as well. Hopefully, it will have more articles in other regions soon too.
  • Tips of contracts
  • Employee right articles
  • Termination articles
  • Add more countries for global companies
  • Add option for suggestions
  • User interface update
It's great in the UK, but eg. not available in Estonia, where we have an office. Because of this, some of our employees are not able to utilize the tool unfortunately.

XpertHR is a great tool for getting the latest updates on policies, procedures, letters, and advice - both from a template perspective and also in terms of answering the odd questions that often come into the query inbox of HR. It's a fantastic tool and one I use with my team for education and development in their knowledge of employee relations and employment law. In addition, the legal advice line allows you to clarify your thinking and answer the 'grey' questions which often come from difficult or challenging people related situations. Overall its a great tool, and its my go-to for any support or advice. I'd definitely recommend its use!
  • Updates on employment law.
  • Liveflo Tool - for training and development purposes
  • Breaks down search for documents, guides, templates, or commentary on specific topics
  • International guides, contract examples, or quick guides to help understanding of international HR.
  • Benchmarking examples of great practices across organisations via case studies.
For generalist HR teams, or employee relation teams, working on specific cases or change management exercises. For new people in HR to build up their knowledge on specific topics. Less appropriate, if you are building an HR strategy. It's very much focused on the day-to-day running of HR teams.

  • Responsive legal law line.
  • A comprehensive suite of policy templates and other documents.
  • Sometimes the legal advice is quite generic and risk averse.
Well suited: straight-forward legal issues, using templates for standard ER case work and policy development. Less well-suited: When you have a very complex legal situation or when you need a more pragmatic approach to resolving an ER issue.

I use xpert HR to ensure i am following legal compliance for each state as we have employees all over the US. I recently used expert HR to research a presentation topic and there were so many articles i did not expect to be on the platform. I personally have not yet ran into any problems with the site.
  • State by state guidance
  • staying up to date on new developments
  • articles on topics i run into for employee situations
  • sometimes it takes me a while to find the correct guidance on how long a non resident can work remotely from a different state before having to pay that states taxes
  • Loading the web page takes a while but that may be our internet
  • I would like to see the home page be more personalized
Xpert HR is well suited for HR professionals. I do not see it being a heavily used resource outside of HR. When i was researching a presentation topic, i enjoyed how many articles i found that gave very detailed information regarding the topic i was presenting on. I do feel like when i need a quick answer, Xpert HR is not always my first resource because I do tend to have to do some digging to find the answer i need on the site.

  • Brings current issues to attention.
  • Covers every legal topic from SOX controls to discipline laws by state.
  • Easier customization of topics of interest so I don't get so my emails.

We have employees in different States with State-mandated regulations that we need to comply with. XpertHR provides information that we need in order to comply with those States. In addition, XpertHR has information for all States based on different regulations. We also have access to their training presentations that we can revise for our needs. Their policies are reviewed and updated by an outside law firm, which our company also uses. It also provides daily alerts of changes in the regulations, and it helps our HR team to be proactive when it comes to regulations. XpertHR also provides Federal/State-mandated posters.
  • 50-State Charts.
  • Federal/State 50-State posters.
  • PowerPoint Training Presentations.
  • Using outside law firm that our Company uses.
  • Would be easier if you had sub-tabs for all 50-States required compliance posters for easy access. Please be advised that I don't normally access the portal always. This may have been completed.
We have employees outside California, and researching each State's employment laws in one platform is very helpful, i.e., a one-stop shop for everything we need. This is where XpertHR comes in handy, and this is why we continue to subscribe to them.

I use it for policies, line manager training and letter templates. It has helped us to implement up to date and consistent policies, all in same format and can easily be adjusted to suit your own business.
  • Up to date policies - concise, covering all needed for a fair process
  • Simple training - for line managers and HR professionals
  • Legally compliant letters - letter templates which are easy to use and adapt
  • the search function does not always bring up what you need first time
  • XPert HR works brilliantly for UK but we were disapointed in their offering for UAE
I just use it as my HR bible as it is always up to date. There is a wealth of policies. The template letters are easily adapted and easy to use - all are legally compliant and available quickly. There is a catalogue of basic training available in both word and powerpoint formats.

  • FAQs
  • Case studies

I have found articles and guidance documents on the XpertHR webpages to be a great starting place when considering complex employee relations situations in the workplace, and it often relieves the need to get legal aid, as the examples included include legal case studies to provide rationale on the guidance.

XpertHR is used widely across the People Team, particularly the employment law updates notifying the team of legislative updates, providing relevant templates, policies, guidance and documentation.
  • HR Policies
  • Employment Law Updates
  • HR Letters and Templates
  • Create more of an XpertHR community linking clients
  • Reduce the cost of the additional functionality such as benchmarking
XpertHR is particularly helpful for more junior members of the HR team that haven't yet developed the employment law experience or had exposure with certain Employee relations procedures.

Template policies. News. Employment Law Updates. Template documents.
  • Topical articles
  • Template documents and policies
  • Employment Law Updates
  • There could be more information about 'ill health capability' - this is something I wanted to get some templates on but couldnt find this category on the templates / ER matters
  • Webinars
  • maybe more filters on search bar
It has helped when wanting to look at topical conversations, or recent concerns that have come to light. It has been useful when trying to find relevant templates of letters, formatting, and policies.
It has been less suited when I am looking for information specifically about ill health capability, and ill health dismissal, I was unable to find anything on that topic on the site, and if it is on the site, it wasn't easily findable becuase I didn't find it when looking.

I love XperHR! It's such a valuable tool for my everyday need. I use it as a tool to educate my leaders on legal issues. I love that I have access to all the states, I can easily compare the different laws in comparison with the state I support. There are so many different articles to help in any topic you are interested in learning about. You can look at any law by the state. It provides detail summary and supportive charts and article to help you. You can even download the chart as an excel sheet and compare and go more in depth in your particular topic of research. XperHR even allows you to even see upcoming legislation law and the date they will be implemented. This is a really great tool, and I am happy with using XperHR.
  • You have access to all states law and legislation at your finger tip.
  • This tool allows you to stay ahead of the latest legislative changes and how it might impact your role/state.
  • It provides HR the tools to deal with any situation
  • I don't have any areas of complaints
These tools allow me to stay on top of the employment law changes not only in my state, but I have access to all the states. It helps me to better educate my leaders on employment law and stay in compliance with the law. I also like how easy the website is to navigate. I like how we are able to download the charts in an excel sheet to do a deeper dive.

Xpert HR provides standard letters, policy and legal guidance as well as case law updates and line manager training material. All of which is incredibly useful. This service enabled our HR team to get timely information and support.

  • Regular up to date case law articles
  • Useful policies and guidance documents

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.

We use XpertHR to find reliable, current information for clients. Specifically, I love the 50-state charts as these are easy-to-use, up-to-date spreadsheets that address a variety of issues that vary on a state-by-state basis.
  • Synthesize complex amounts of information into useable formats
  • Provide 50-state charts that are meaningful and timely
  • Provides policy templates and pre-written formats
  • Add more 50-state charts as the legal landscape on a state-by-state basis continues to grow
Well suited for any company with multi-state issues/concerns. Useful for human resources teams as well as consultants as the information is current and reliable, as well as easy to use

I have used XpertHR now for a number years including their benchmarking tool Cendex. We predominantly use XpertHR for legal updates, updating our policies, and reading articles relating to best practices. We also use the legal service for us to remain informed and to get advice on complex matters. We feel XpertHR helps us create great debates within the HR team from the articles and policies we read which has led to us reviewing our internal policies and updating them where necessary.
