Industry-leading. Fully-configurable. The HR platform your business deserves.

We don’t believe in tying you down to features you won’t need. Youmanage gives you the flexibility to choose the functionality you want, without compromises.

Core HR

People are your organisation’s most valuable resource. Unlock the potential of this resource with Core HR by capturing relevant information and making it easily accessible by HR users, managers, and senior executives at the point of need.

Your employee data is secure in Core HR. Our data centre is ISO 27001 accredited which, combined with our industry-leading security features, ensures that your data is in the safest possible place.

The Core HR module can help you record, update, analyse, and report on employee data in an efficient, cost-effective way. As a cloud-based system, it will help you to streamline processes and reduce paper trails, as well as reduce administrative costs and dramatically enhance the accuracy of your organisation’s HR function.

 

Personal Data

In line with their security profile, people managers, HR users, and employees can easily access information within the HR system. All information is captured as a natural by-product of HR users or managers carrying out their day-to-day activities.

Content Management

Security is managed at the physical level by our ISO 27001-certified data centre, and at the logical level with industry-leading HA firewalling, and virtual machine separation. At the application level, Youmanage features SSL session encryption, user access control, and database level data separation.

Case Management & Workflow

Powerful workflow engine ensures that the correct processes are upheld and followed in each area of people management, facilitating more effective collaboration between different users throughout your organisation.

Tasks & Notifications

Lead users through key management activities ensuring that important tasks are completed in the right way and on-time. Prompts, timely reminders and escalation rules ensure users complete tasks in line with relevant company policies and legislation.

Employee Hierarchies

Each employee has a ‘Reporting To’ manager relationship defined within the HR system. One or more ‘Dotted-line Manager’ relationships can be set up for any employee, which is useful in matrix management situations.

User Permission Sets

Providing extensive flexibility, each user can be given one, some, or all of four access levels: Administrator, HR User, Manager, and Employee. The Permission Sets determine what they are allowed to see and do.

Reporting & Analytics

In the Core HR module within our HR software, you can configure your own reporting dashboards by choosing tiles containing various critical pieces of HR analytics.

Easily create beautiful and in-depth custom reports based on whatever information you need, and choose who has permission to view them.

Automated report scheduling delivers information to the right users at the right time, allowing information to be distributed efficiently and consistently.
