Got us off spreadsheets at last

The self service means people stop coming to my desk for every little thing. That alone was worth it.

Cleared out our HR admin

We rolled it out to the whole team in an afternoon and adoption was instant. Sickness and holiday tracking is spot on.

Cleared out our HR admin

As a non HR person I needed something obvious. It handles holidays, documents and reviews without a manual.
