Access PeopleHR
About Access PeopleHR
Small and medium businesses need to do all the same HR tasks that large-scale enterprise businesses do – but without the large HR team to do it.
Access People HR exists to solve this problem.
Time and time again, we are contacted by business owners, operations leaders, and finance managers who are spending time (and money) managing holiday requests, scheduling interviews, and preparing monthly reports on their key HR metrics. And it’s just not what they went into business to do.
Our team of experts get a buzz out of helping people like you automate your manual HR tasks, giving you back the time to do whatever it is you love, whilst giving your employees the great experience that they expect.
So, whether you’re a small 10-person business with no HR department or a growing business looking to implement a market-leading HRIS, we’re here for you.
Let’s delve a bit deeper into our specific modules and features.
*Features*
The employee records feature allows companies to store and manage employee information in one centralised location. This includes personal information, employment history, and other relevant data.
Our performance management feature helps you track employee performance over time and provides tools for creating performance reviews, setting goals and tracking progress.
We also have a recruitment feature which allows you to manage the entire hiring process, from posting job listings to tracking applications, and scheduling interviews.
Time tracking and absence management is also a feature available to users. Time tracking software offers a flexible way to record timesheets and track attendance, allowing you to manage employees’ time in a way that works best for you. And absence management software gives users a holistic understanding of employee absence.
Workflow management software (Ripple®) is also available for customers on our ‘Elite’ package. This feature allows users to build personalised workflows that encourage collaboration, save time and automate once difficult tasks for smoother work processes.
We also offer a multitude of payroll services, from payroll software to a payroll outsourcing bureau, giving customers a simple and reliable way to ensure their staff get paid correctly. In 2022, we acquired Paycircle - a cloud-based, collaborative payroll platform for modern payroll bureaus – giving more depth and flexibility to our payroll offering.
*Pricing*
Access PeopleHR provides a flexible, and affordable, three-tier pricing structure. Our basic package starts at just £5 per employee, per month, and £9 for our most advanced solution.
*Focus on what’s important*
If you’re a small to medium-sized business looking to improve your HR efficiency and scalability, Access PeopleHR is for you. With us in your corner, you can focus on growing your business, safe in the knowledge that your HR needs are being taken care of by a reliable and effective system.

A very happy customer!
Reviewed on 28/08/2019
Pros
That they take on board the feedback from users and are pushing out really good updates. Most recently, the updated features of the logbook designer, which are fantastic from the perspective of helping to automate processes and create a better audit trail for HR/Line Managers. I can't fault the customer service, who have always come back to me whenever I have had an issue.
Cons
The performance module is a bit clunky and isn't as customisable as other areas of the system, and could do with having the ability to reword the manager's sections. That being said we have adapted the logbook function with something simpler as this better suits the needs of our business.
Reasons for Switching to Access PeopleHR
The system set up and admin. The usability for employees is so simple which is helpful with staff who aren't so tech-savvy.- Industry: Logistics & Supply Chain

Shocking privacy risks
Reviewed on 20/07/2020
Pros
Easy to use, easy to set up. Fine for a company which wants unbridled access for all staff, but serious concerns around internal company privacy and security with some of the new features. Good for small, single office companies where everything is open.
Cons
The product was looking good and then they released an app which allows the entire company to join a group chat. As a company with very careful data handling controls and locked down teams we were absolutely shocked they would roll this out. This means self service has to be disabled and renders the product almost useless. Very unsettling that a company would just role these features out without thinking through the consequences.
With the planner individuals can see their managers planner and all their team mates - which may be great for a small office but a bit of a privacy breach for many people and companies. Very surprised we can't turn off planner access for their team / department colleagues.
Customer service is generally intercom, intercom chat bot and links to articles so a bit hit and miss.
Response from The Access Group
Thanks for reviewing People HR.
We appreciate your wish to disable chat in certain scenarios, but we have decided against developing this option.
This is partly influenced by our research around engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. But fundamentally, we believe communication is key in most organisations, and we don't want to put barriers in the way of that. Instead of building limitations, we encourage sensible use for work-related purposes.
We're proud of the security our chat offers: TLS1.2+ to encrypt the messages in transit, and AES256 to encrypt the messages at rest. Our chat also helps users to guarantee they are messaging colleagues, instead of untrusted recipients. The functionality is GDPR compliant, and if you have any concerns then our Data Protection Officer will be happy to discuss them.
I have a call with your colleague tomorrow, and hope to discuss this matter further during that conversation. I hope this helps.
Kind regards

People HR Saves me valuable time, it generates reports easily and gives me the confidence my records are secure and GDPR compliant.
Pros
The cost and scale-ability was our immediate reason for shortlisting People HR. It was very important the employees could correct their own data. We like the mobile app for the team so that employee can upload expenses on the go or book a holiday at any time. As the Administrator I find the software very user friendly and bulk uploads save me many hours of work. When we first uploaded our data it was a really simple process. I use this for 3 companies with different account levels and it works perfectly for each company.
Cons
I would like to be able to use the recruiter tools and the performance management but the permanent cost to upgrade outweigh the time they can save me when operating a small company.

The real strength of people is its people! It's refreshing to find a company that walks its talk on culture and employee brand. They are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and VERY long suffering and patient with non-technical customers! From the sales team to the help desk team - I cannot praise them high enough.
Pros
The features are very good - wide range and very good value for money
Cons
Very little really . The only criticism is that some of the administrative features are accessed direct from employee records instead of in background settings like you would expect. An example of this is adding a new document - you have to open an employee record, and go to the add documents - and you are then given an option to create a new template. This is not very intuitive. There is an excellent logbooks facility in which you can create custom logbooks for every conceivable record you might want - this also was accessed from an employees record but they have just moved this to its own section in admin settings. They need to do the same for the other areas as well.
