People Lead Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Access People HR makes it easy" February 25, 2026 4.0 Access People HR is really clever, intuitive and easy to navigate compared to other HR software I have used. I like all the things you can set up to run in the background and creating reports is a breeze. Pros I think the new updates have really improved the overall service. Having help available at your fingertips on the actual portal as opposed to having to log in to an external portal has saved a lot of time. Cons There were a few glitches with the planner at first and I was having to do manual calculations whenever I had to update a log or a new starter would be created part way through a year, but this seems to have resolved with the updates. Switched from [BrightHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/151525/BrightHR/) I don't know. I was not in employment with the company at the time.

HR Officer Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "People HR review" February 25, 2026 4.0 There have been a few glitches following updates but the hope is that as we report these, they will be resolved Pros For employees using the service, it is very user friendly when looking to book leave and add items to the planner. Cons The automations are not as user friendly from an admin perspective. Using ripple and workflows is not a simple process for someone using this for the first time, even with tutorial videos.

HR Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Experience as New Customer" February 25, 2026 4.0 Overall we are very happy with the system in terms of its capability and output. It is user friendly from an employee perspective and we had minimal issues with launching and getting people using the software. Our onboard was not without teething problems however they were addressed quickly and happy with the customer service. Pros Overall the system is very user friendly and gives the functionality which we as an organisation require for our People Management. So far any issues we have encountered have been addressed promptly by our account Manager. Cons Some elements of the system setup is UK specific and does not reflect jurisdictional nuisances example being Maternity Leave. Some Title Headings are also UK specific such as MOT and Social Security Number.

HR Manager Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Access PeopleHR" February 25, 2026 4.0 Very good overall. It is a significant improvement on the HRIS we used previously. The mobile app is particularly useful and easy to navigate. Pros Easy to use with clear, high‑quality graphics. The cost reflects the package we selected, as we only needed a simple solution. However, there are upgrade options available, including payroll integration, though we haven’t used those features. Cons Initially, the support wasn't always able to answer our questions, but this has improved. Seems to focus quite heavily on the Care Home sector. We do not use the reporting to its full capacity, but the reports we use are good. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 26, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Geraldine.

Good helpful community page for common issues. Mobile app is easy to use for staff. Pros Reporting functionality and new AI tools. They share their product roadmap online so you can see upcoming developments. Cons You can't edit some features, some must be turned on for all or off for all staff. Perhaps an update in the future.

PCN Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall a good platform " December 17, 2025 4.0 Overall good and easier than the last HR portal we used as a company. There are always some improvements but overall happy Pros For each staff member you have clear tabs on what you need to find for them. How many days holidays they have to take and how much sickness they have had. Cons The drop downs on saving documents are not specific so where you may put a review etc may be different from another manager. Switched from [Bluestream Health](https://www.capterra.com/p/216698/Bluestream-Health/) Decision made by company and not by myself Review Source Response from The Access Group December 18, 2025 Thanks for your feedback, Kirsty.

This along with having recently upgrading licence to include the ripple workflows Cons Some of the new features under the access drop down and hub still don't make much sense and appears to be no plan.

GM Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Smooth HR platform " September 29, 2025 4.0 I have found People HR to be a very effective system. The planner provides clear visibility of staff holidays and availability, while the central library of documents ensures everything is stored in one accessible place. The logbook function allows accurate and transparent recording, and the process of reviewing and approving holiday requests is simple and efficient. Overall, the system supports smoother management and saves valuable time. Pros I appreciate Access PeopleHR's intuitive system which simplifies setup and user experience. The quick access feature for profiles, payslips, and holiday authorizations through the app is efficient and centralizes essential information. Additionally, the planner and document library improve organizational visibility and secure information access. The team likes the app's ease for holiday requests. Cons I would probably just say the interface. Probably could just do with a bit of a refresh. Just to bring it up to date, I guess the issue with that always is people know where everything is after a while. So as soon as you change it, it creates issues around people not knowing. So it's quite a complex task. But I guess, just the interface possibly, you could just do with a bit of modernization. It hasn't really changed over the seven years I've used it Review Source JM James M. IT Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great cloud based HR system" February 25, 2026 5.0 It was easy to implement and the support was really good through the setup process. Any issues have been quickly resolved and we love using it. Pros PeopleHR is a cloud based HR system that has a great interface and useful API as well as other features, to connect it up to other systems. It makes managing employees easy and the scheduled reports make it a breeze to stay on top of the users. Cons We've had to adapt with a few processes, as we are office365 based we had a problem with saving messages natively from Outlook, but with the aid of an additional tool we can convert to the required formats. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 27, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, James. It’s great to hear you’re benefiting from the cloud-based setup, API connectivity and scheduled reporting, particularly in helping you stay on top of user management.

People Advisor Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Overall a good system but could use tweaks. " February 25, 2026 3.0 The customer team is very helpful but we still have issues with the App after many case requests. Our contact \[sensitive content hidden\] is very helpful and gave us extra benefits for our loyalty to the program. Instant discounts is a great extra! Pros People Analytics is good tool for making graphs. It is easy to update employee details. I like that you can use the planner to see who is on leave. Cons The PeopleHR App has issues constantly - our staff often struggle to get in to the app or upload their receipts. The data / reports can be very basic and not use all the information.

HR Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest Review" February 25, 2026 3.0 Pros The system is good value for money and customer support responds fairly quickly. The system does everything we need it to do as a small business. Cons We do seem to have a few technical issues. Reporting could be better and more user-friendly. The system could also be a bit more user-friendly. Better guidance on how to use the system. More video tutorials etc... we purchased a new part of the system but were not shown how to use it. Had to pay an additional fee to be shown how to use. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 27, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Amber.

Assistant Manager Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND " February 25, 2026 1.0 Honestly not very food the Account manager takes ages to reply. The solution is to 'raise a ticket'. With the that much money the there's no Value. Pros Very basic system which makes it easier for the colleagues who are less comfortable with technology. Cons There's no way to run reports, to see advanced holiday date, no proper performance management tool. No automatic calculation. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 26, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Atika. We’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met expectations.

HR BP Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Useful HRIS" February 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, I had a great experience, which is mainly due to the support received during the set up phase. Pros Access PeopleHR is easy and intuitive to use. As an admin, I can get pretty much everything I need without contacting support. However, whenever I required help, I received it very quickly. There are a lot of useful features and they are constantly updated and upgraded. Day to day employee management is very straightforward. Reporting has handy pre-sets but it's also easy to create bespoke reports. Cons I would like an option to remove functions we do not use from the customer interface - i.e. expenses, performance Review Source Response from The Access Group February 27, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Orinta.

The carryover feature works well. Document storage is easy to use and access by users. Cons The lack of facility to set up different year templates for leave entitlement between years, i.e. 2026 template could only be set up from 1st January 2026 without also affecting the 2025 calendar view.

It provides a solid range of features for employee management, scheduling, and reporting, and it simplifies day-to-day HR processes. The system is easy to use once set up and delivers good value for money. It is quite a reliable HR platform for managing people effectively. Pros I like that it centralises all employee information in one place and simplifies absence and document management. It is generally easy to use, with a clear layout that makes employee management straightforward. The system keeps all employee records, documents, absence tracking, and performance information in one place, which reduces manual admin work. The reporting tools cover most standard HR needs, and the scheduling and leave management features are simple for employees and managers to navigate. Cons While the core features are strong, some areas such as reporting and system customisation can feel slightly limited if you need more advanced functionality. The interface could be more modern, and certain processes require multiple steps. Customer support is generally good, but response times can occasionally be slower during busy periods.

Executive Assistant and HR Operations Lead Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Helpful and user-friendly HR System" February 25, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with PeopleHR has been very positive so far, and I’m finding the system really helpful in managing our HR processes more efficiently. In particular, the dashboard feature stands out, it gives me clear visibility of the key figures I need for my monthly reports, which saves time and makes tracking much easier. Overall, it’s been a practical and user-friendly tool that supports my day-to-day work well. Pros PeopleHR is a really good HR platform, especially for growing businesses that want to simplify their people processes. It’s easy to use, automates a lot of the admin work, and gives employees a handy self-service portal for things like holiday requests and personal info updates. The all-in-one setup (covering performance, absence tracking, and reporting) makes it practical and good value for all businesses. Cons I’m currently unsure how to upload part-time workers into the annual leave section, although this may simply be a setup issue on my side. I still need to contact support, and I expect this will likely be resolved once I’ve spoken with them. Review Source TB Tanya B. Accounts and Finance Assistant Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great system and supportive customer service team" February 25, 2026 4.0 Overall we are happy, the support from trianing was good. Our adoption specialists were always bery helpful and responsive. Pros Overall the system is very easy to use, very user friendly. The holiday planner is probably our most used item thus far for employee holiday management but once we dive more into what can be utilised I am sure the value for money will arise. Cons Because the system is so in depth you can get a little lost in how to set up reports and working out all the little niggly bits. We had training before we launched the system, however this was very basic training so we have struggled sometimes with more indepth reports. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 27, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Tanya. It’s great to hear you’re finding PeopleHR user-friendly and that the holiday planner is already delivering real value for your team. We appreciate your comments around reporting setup and deeper configuration. As the system is quite feature-rich, more advanced reporting can take time to fully explore, so your feedback around training depth is helpful.

Looking to integrate our payroll system with PeopleHR in future to make best use of the HRIS. Pros The HRIS is user-friendly and intuitive. We use it for multiple functions including recruitment, expense processing, managing leave and performance management. It also has a handy self-service app to complement the desktop website. Cons The ATS could be more visually appealing - it is not as 'attractive' as other ATS in the market. Also, not able to submit expenses on the desktop website - can only do this on the self-service app. Review Source Response from The Access Group January 13, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Phong. It’s great to hear PeopleHR’s intuitive design and range of features are supporting recruitment, performance, expenses and leave management.

Customer support is fairly useful but as above, the platform in general feels a bit confusing or overly complicated at times. Other services have a much cleaner and easier approach. Pros The layout of the employees section is useful. It is easy to compare them and looking through salary and holiday data by flicking from one employee to the next. Cons Generating reports is far to confusing and difficult to do. More templates for common ones would be useful. Some other features are also overly complicated or just not clear and so we don't make use of them. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 27, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Sophie. It’s great to hear the employee layout is working well for you and that comparing salary and holiday data across profiles is straightforward.

Great way for us to manage our employees as we operate hybrid and a good tool for communication and keeping everyone together. Pros Really enjoyed working with \[sensitive content hidden\] and the wider team, always super helpful and friendly and willing to help.

Live in Care Co-Ordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Practical All-in-One HR Solution" February 25, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with Access PeopleHR has been largely positive. It provides a centralized platform for managing core HR functions such as employee records, absence tracking, document storage, and performance management, which has significantly improved efficiency and reduced manual administration. The self-service features are particularly helpful, as they empower employees and managers to handle routine tasks independently. The system is generally user friendly for day to day use, though some advanced features such as reporting and customisation can require additional time to fully utilise. While there are occasional limitations in flexibility and analytics depth, it remains a reliable and practical solution for small to midsized organizations looking to streamline their HR processes. Pros Its a HR system that doesnt require a PhD to navigate. Quite easy to use! All-in-one - everything in once place from Recruitment tracking, to performance reviews. Employees can update here info, request leave etc which removes the back and forth. It is all accessible! Cons If system is busy, can take a while to load. Updates can make it a bit difficult to navigate the changes. Review Source KK Kamila K.

January 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, our use of PeopleHR, our connection with the support team and the overall communications between parties, is easy to navigate. The overall cost of the system is competitive with other providers. Pros PHR is one of the most user-friendly systems enabling easy navigation between screens. The employee access is easy through the PHR App and ease of process to produce reports for payroll is simple to operate. The connection between PHR and PayCircle means less duplications. Cons Some of the processes (API Links for example) can be a bit clunky to set up and manage, but once the process is learnt then it becomes easy to use. Review Source Response from The Access Group January 14, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Martin. It’s great to hear PeopleHR’s usability, reporting and PayCircle integration are supporting payroll efficiency and reducing duplication. We appreciate your comments on API setup, which are helping inform further simplification work.
