What is an HR database?

An HR database is a software or application used for overseeing HR information, including employee details, right-to-work information, payroll data, and any other critical data related to HR operations. It is typically operated by HR professionals, stored in a secure and compliant manner, and offers a streamlined system for maximising HR data and fulfilling company objectives. 

The HR database system itself is a digital equivalent of a traditional HR filing cabinet. It sits within your HR software and allows you to manage large amounts of employee information without trawling through piles of unreliable paper documents.

Mismanagement of this critical employee data can result in a loss of privacy, employee distress, and severe financial losses. By implementing the Access PeopleHR staff database, all data is held to high GDPR compliance and security settings, helping your business to remain compliant at all times.

Enhanced employee self service

Enhanced employee self service

Having one, centralised location for your staff data changes the lives of your HR department. But it also means employees get access to their own records, so they can easily self-serve. They can upload, edit and find their own information, all from the desktop or mobile app. And with the ability to request holidays, and absences and manage their tasks, your people will become champions of self-sufficiency.
