Great system with lots of support
Really good. [sensitive content hidden], who help gone through all of build and training with us has been absolutely fantastic, could not have been better. He is so helpful and patient and always there to answer any questions we have. [sensitive content hidden] has gone through the whole build and upload with us in a simple, logical way, showing us how to do every step which has meant that going forward we will know how to make any changes etc. We have received lots of regular support and help where needed and the system is great and easy to use.
PROSEase of tracking employee changes and team changes. Integration has been really good and we have had a lot of support. For us, information linking to payroll has been key.
CONSOnly tiny things which we will add to the suggestions tracker, e.g the ability to only send weekly digest to certain people
Reasons for switching to People First
We needed more functionality including payroll

Hi Kingsley. Thanks for the feedback and we're really pleased you've had a positive experience. We are starting some development work on WFM that will include the addition of a recipient code, which will allow you to allocate time to a code. Hopefully, this will help. Thanks - Lydia.

Frustrating, basic product, limited capabilities of modern-day HR systems
PROSThere are some common features you would find on most HRIS products e.g. recognition, communities. I am unsure what I am missing from other reviews that appear on here.
CONS- Inability to customise lots of things- Sign up and onboarding flow is not user friendly- Onboarding flow is barely even a flow, it's just people assigning themselves a password...- General interface is not intuitive - You aren't able to store documents on people's profiles without having to create a 'Card' on their profile, which either means documents are disorganised or not in one place. Still using local file system as it's easier.- I have yet to find an automation I can use to reduce admin of my job- Consistent problems with employees signing up, signing up and then having to resign up at a later date- Customer support is limited, if you want their help, you either have to find it yourself or it gets 'credited' out of your allowance. Bizarre. - The data exports are really limiting and non-customisable. For example, if I want salary, job role, email address, and address in one sheet, I have to collate various different ones.
Vendor Response
Hi Barney. We're sorry you've not enjoyed using the software to date. We've got some feature-led information below that will hopefully help: User Sign Up - The journey can depend on what you are using as an IDP. If you have your own, then it's not something we control. If you are using ours, I agree it is clunky and something we plan to address next year. Documents - Document attachments are available on most cards, this way you are attaching a document to the context and therefore simple to find. There is no need to create cards to store documents as standard document attachments are available. Exports - We are currently working on a tool that will be available later this year to allow you to manipulate and create your own reports. We've escalated your feedback to our Head of Product and if you are still a customer, we would love to discuss your feedback in more detail and tell you about our plans. Please get in touch directly via simon.davies@mhrglobal.com. Thank you - Lydia.

People First has made my life as an HR manager so much easier!
People First is quickly facilitating HR admin and is ensuring that managers have the information they need to support their teams.
PROSPeople First facilitates our ability to gather HR data that informs business decisions. Employees are able to undertake regular HR processes easily; and the focus on engagement and communication allows us to improve information exchange and celebrate achievements. In short, it's made my life as a standalone HR manager so much easier!
CONSAs an administrator of the system, tasks are not as useful as they could be since it is not possible to receive notifications. From an employee perspective, feedback suggests that navigating the tabs and pages is sometimes difficult.
Reason for choosing People First
I was impressed by the focus on employee engagement and the commitment to listening to customers needs.
Vendor Response
Hi Jo, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted that People First has made your life as an HR manager easier! We are currently in the process of introducing a series of navigation changes in response to feedback from our customers. These changes are focused on simplifying the News feed, employee profiles, and promoting your Teams content, with the aim of making it as intuitive and straightforward as possible for employees and line managers to find and execute actions. We would be more than happy to share the new designs with you if you reach out to your Account Manager. Please continue to provide feedback on your thoughts and ideas to the team; it is highly valued. Thanks - Lydia

People First
Overall we are very happy with People First. Everyone at MHR is so helpful and so willing to listen to ideas, no matter what it is we ask for or suggest. Working with MHR feels like they are part of our business in some respects and that they have desire for us to be successful by using People First in the best way possible.
PROSIt has improved our internal communication, given us one central point for team information and allowed us to manage the whole recruitment process using one system
CONSIt's difficult to pick something that we like least. Some of the options regarding the management of the news feed could be improved
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a software review of People First, Alan. Please continue to share any feedback or ideas for improvement with your account manager and the product team here at MHR, either in your usual channels or on the People First Customer group on LinkedIn. It is so valued. Thanks.

Improved business processes for QMS and employee engagement
The People First software and the team at MHR have helped us to streamline and revolutionise our internal processes for Quality Assurance and HR. The product allows for flexibility in its use, and the people behind the product are more than happy to help you find ways to use the system to meet your business needs. The social side to the product has enabled us to share product information and business updates in a modern way that meets the behaviour of people today, encouraging engagement and interaction between departments.
PROSThe employee engagement features allow us to share business updates across the company, as well as allowing employees to share insights "from the bottom up". HR processes for managing leave and booking and recording training are streamlined.
CONSSome data can not be interrogated within the system and we would like to see additional reports available (data can be exported for use).

People first is the way to go
My overall experience had been great. I would recommend this product to any company as it is a well thought out software.
PROSI love just about everything. I have been using this program for the last 5 years at my company. Doing my time sheets, taking time off, doing trainings and even checking my performance ratings are all simple. I never have to worry about not finding what I need because everything is easily accessible and labeled clearly. I can find everything in one place without having to use muliple software and have multiple usernames.
CONSThere isn’t much I can say about not liking this program as I’ve used it here for the last 5 years. Sometime the software goes down and takes awhile to come back up but it doesn’t happen much. Other than that I have no real complaints.

Excellent Team and Customer Service behind a Solid Product
We're only starting out with the software, and it's already looking very promising for us. The team at PeopleFirst has been absolutely first-class in attending to my needs and requests for support. They've gone above and beyond to make sure that the product is fitting in well with us. I'm absolutely blown away by how forthcoming they've been in helping us!
PROSThat I could create sub-communities that is open to my entire community, yet also have them self-organize to create interest/project groups to facilitate collaboration and communication(s). This helps me great deal by facilitating communication between members and facilitates collaboration between people in my community.
CONSThat, I keep getting logged-out and need to sign-in after a period of extended inactivity. I know it's for security purposes... (but I'm just lazy!)
Reason for choosing People First
Pretty much because of the team and person behind it. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is the rockstar making things happen for us! He walks the talk in putting People First (pun intended)!

People First Review
People First provides us with a platform to bring together our international teams. Now staff all over the world can interact with each other, and better understand each others roles within the organization. The interface and fun and user-friendly which appeals to staff at all levels. People First are constantly making improvements and the communication about these is great.
CONSThe logic of the system is not always 100% clear to someone that has not worked with the HRMS before. That being said, I have been able to learn to use the system quite quickly with our fantastic implementation partner at People First.
