The first HR system we finished implementing

Employees look up their own time off balance, their own documents and their own handbook instead of emailing me. I reckon that removed thirty or forty interruptions a month, and each one used to break whatever I was doing.

Pros

Implementation a small team can finish without a consultant

Cons

Custom reporting means exporting to a spreadsheet

Time off arguments simply ended

The mobile app is genuinely used by our field staff, which I did not expect. They request time off from their phones and approvals happen the same day.

Pros

Permissions model managers and HR both trust

Approval chains and custom fields hit a ceiling

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

Headcount and turnover reporting comes out of the box. Our board asked for twelve month attrition by department and I had it in about four minutes rather than the day it used to take.

Managers see their team and nothing else

Accrual and carryover rules match our policy exactly, including the cap, and the calendar shows the whole team. The arguments about who booked what and how many days are left are gone. That was worth the subscription on its own.

Pros

Employee self service that genuinely reduces HR interruptions

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

New hire paperwork used to be a folder of PDFs, a week of chasing, and an I-9 I was never fully confident about. Now they get a link, complete everything themselves before day one, and it is signed and filed. We hired eleven people last year and it stopped being an event.

The first HR system we finished implementing

The employee record is the quiet win. Compensation history, reviews, documents, emergency contacts and certifications in one place with real permissions. We were running that across a shared drive and a spreadsheet and I did not appreciate the risk until it was fixed.

The first HR system we finished implementing

Managers see their own team and cannot see compensation for anyone else. Getting that permissions model right is why HR was willing to put real data in it.

We had failed at two HR systems before this. The difference is that we actually finished implementing this one. It was live in about three weeks with our own team, no consultant, and people used it without a mandate.

The price climbs quietly as you hire

Pre sale the responses were immediate. Post sale it is a ticket and a day or two, and the first answer is usually a help article. Nothing has been urgent yet, which is the only reason I am not angrier about it.
