Their services are of an indisputable quality.
There is no doubt that EmployeeConnect really stands out among the other companies that can be found in the area of human resources, I do not regret having worked with them, their services are of an indisputable quality.
CONSI really do not have any complaints to give, on the contrary, I'm very happy with the results and I will definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Words from a Newbie to the System
It has been an amazing journey to get up and running and we are not finished yet. While we are in and working there are still some modules to go before we are fully functional. Our support teams from Employee Connect know their stuff and it's a bit frightening when they appear to read your mind! It's been fun and frustrating at the same time, you need to take the time to get the inputs right to be able to get the outputs you're looking for. We have learned a lot along the way. As we do put more modules on we will see why having a one-stop shop was worth the effort. We had thought the time zones would be a problem but they in fact work well for us - we do in the day and cross with Australia which means answers in our inbox the following morning; while working with [sensitive content hidden] in his time zone was just as good - he worked while we slept and vice versa so responses were there ready when we started our day.
PROSIncorporating the modular format to encompass HR system and Health and Safety in an easy to use platform.
CONSSome of the reporting functions we had been use to we will need to look at how best to create in Employee Connect.
Reason for choosing EmployeeConnect
EmployeeConnect appeared to be an option that would be simpler to use for our frontline staff and offered the modular format which meant we didn't need to purchase a system that had bits we would not use. The Recruitment option to automate that massive task and the ability to pull through from Seek was very important.
Reasons for switching to EmployeeConnect
Updated technology and some inability to do things we wanted to in the old system. They were great but not quite ready for our next steps.

User friendly, fantastic system!
Excellent!
PROSThe platform itself has everything in a HRIS system that we were looking for and more! One of the best parts about partnering with EmployeeConnect is the time and support we have received from the team throughout the whole journey. From the initial engagement and trial to implementation, they are very responsive and always there to help in all stages of the process. EmployeeConnect have been able to tailor their platform to our businesses individual needs in all core modules.
CONSThe only thing I can think of is the small number of limitations with the way it integrates with Xero.
Reason for choosing EmployeeConnect
Integrated with our payroll system, excellent onboarding abilities, you are able to customise the platform to align with our company branding and most of all it is very easy to use for all employees. We could also integrate with Go1 out e-learning platform.
Vendor Response
Hey Georgia, thank you so much for your kind and positive review, your support means the absolute world to us and we look forward to continually supporting you in the future. Matt.

User friendly, super easy to implement with very little training required
Overall, the experience has been highly positive. The service provided by our CS manager, especially during the implementation of the Performance management module, has been exceptional and has outweighed any frustrations caused by platform or integration issues. It is encouraging to see that ongoing improvements to the system's functionality are being made.Considering its value for money, the system is deemed to be a good investment.
PROSThe customer success managers have provided exceptional technical support and service during the implementation process. Their patience and understanding with our changing requirements have been greatly appreciated. Despite being busy with multiple clients, our CS manager consistently goes above and beyond to deliver the service we need.The system itself is highly user-friendly and effortless to implement and train employees on. We particularly appreciate the ability to customise the system according to our specific needs. Overall, the system offers good value for money.
CONSThere are some limitations in the integration with Xero and the processing of leave requests and balances. The effectiveness of lodging tickets to address these issues has been limited, leaving uncertainty about whether it is an integration problem or a platform limitation.While the system's customisation capability is a positive aspect, it's important to consider the additional costs associated with customisation, which can accumulate depending on the extent of customisation required.
Reason for choosing EmployeeConnect
Adaptability/flexibility of the system. Functionality. Cost
Vendor Response
Hey Louise, thank you so much for your positive review, we pride ourselves on our customer service, hearing this sort of feedback makes us very proud. If there is anything we can do for you, we are always open and available to support in anyway we can. Sheryll.

Employee Connect Review
We have improved our process of Onboarding new employees - from at least 2-3 days down to 20 minutes. We no longer have to work with extensive papers, printing or sending forms via post to new employees and then wait for them to send these forms back signed. During Covid we all had to work from home, and Employee Connect was a great tool to use to be able to send online to everyone policy sign offs, workplace health and safety procedures and other forms necessary to keep the company compliant with legislative changes.
PROSOnboarding module; Recruitment module; Performance Review module; HR Core Module and Reporting function plus dashboards are all fantastic. As an Administrator of the System and a busy HR Manager, with 80+ people in the organisation Nation wide, I find that I wouldn't be able to manage time and efficiency in HR without Employee Connect.
CONSThe learning and development module could be improved to cater for say training to be taken via videos, although you can integrate systems like Go1 or Moodle with Employee Connect which can be advantageous. You can only provide links to third party providers for employees to do training.
Reason for choosing EmployeeConnect
Employee Connect had all the right modules in one platform for us to use immediately.
Vendor Response
Hey Libby, thank you so much for your support. We appreciate your kind review, it is an absolute pleasure working with you and your team and we hope to continue the ongoing relationship for many years to come. EmployeeConnect integrates with GO1, Moodle and Litmos. We are exploring options as to how we can bring online content in-house. - Sheryll

All your HR needs in one place
We mainly use Employee Management (onboarding, offboarding and movements). We have templates in the system and it's easy to select the changes from a few drop down menus and apply the changes. The onboarding process for employees is also great, allowing digital signatures & monitoring of onboarding completion. It's great at empowering employees to have the ability to change their own personal information securely and confidently as well as the ability to apply for leave. We will be looking to implement more features in the near future.
CONSSome of the system management functionality can be difficult to find and there is limited access to update business processes that we can change ourselves. EmployeeConnect only integrates with KeyPay overnight, would prefer integration occurs more often or even instantly, however, saying that you can force integration manually.
Vendor Response
Hey Tara, thank you so much for your amazing review. We will continue to work on the products functionality, but thank you for your honest feedback. I hope you continue to love working with and using employeeconnect. Thank you!

A great HR system
EmployeeConnect is a user friendly system and an effective one stop shop for all our HR needs so that we don't need to use multiple systems/platforms. We are also given friendly and quick support by the team.
CONSThere are no significant cons that I can identify. Every system has its limitations so just stay realistic.
Reasons for switching to EmployeeConnect
We were looking for a better and more user friendly platform for users and a tool that could be used well for multiple HR functions.

Hey Rebecca, thank you so much for your review, we truly appreciate it. We are glad you cannot find any cons haha, the team will be over the moon with that feedback. We will continue to support and assist as best we can. Thank you!

EmployeeConnect - A positive impact to the way we work.
Overall, we feel that EC is going to have a positive influence over the way we work. Getting started with setting up with our system certainly identified areas in which we needed to improve/build on. We were looking for a way forward, a program in which allowed our business to improve the employee’s experience, move with the times, be able to closely monitor employment history and terms and conditions, and as a company we also pride ourselves with our goal to be the best, so this certainly gives us that point of difference to our competitors within the industry.
PROS- Ability to share company’s documents – AMAZING- Being able to have Subcontractors recorded within the system too- Being able to have multiple companies set up- Moving forward the new way to handle our team’s information and track changes etc- Workflows – being so customisable- Being able to customise the system to the way we work – IT team/Development Team setting up additional alerts for us
CONSMobile App - ability to have within the app would be good. Some minor integration costs that weren't noted within the contract. Inability to merge electronic signature onto signed/accepted docs.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your review, Julianne. We really appreciate the time you took to not only help us improve, but say the nice things you have said.

EmployeeConnect Review
The EmployeeConnect team played a pivotal role in assisting us with the redesign of our employee lifecycle programs and experiences, they took the time to understand our business needs and collaborated with us to tailor the product to align with our requirements.
PROSThe EmployeeConnect software has significantly enhanced our employee lifecycle programs, resulting in heightened process efficiency through workflow automation and a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use and navigate. Would highly recommend!
CONSThe integration with KeyPay requires continued development, with ongoing efforts aimed at automating the workflow for employee lifecycle changes. Once this is finalised it will create a seamless connection between HR processes and payroll functions.
Vendor Response

Let this program replace several of your others
This program lets you replace a few of your others which will become obsolete now that you have EmployeeConnect. This lets you keep all of your files and resources for human resources in one easy to use program and can be accessed very easily on the road or on the go. This program has helped us save countless hours of employee time but automating some processes and making things much simpler.
CONSSometimes it can seem like there are too many subscription options available and it can be a chore deciding which one is right for your business. Just make sure to check all of the benefits of each and what is included. We started with the free trial and then have slowly been upgrading as we go. You may be better off just jumping in and getting the highest plan from the start.

All in one HR software if you need a lot of options
When we first tried this software we liked that there were so many options to choose from. This ended up being the reason we did not continue with it becuase we were paying for more than we needed. If you want a lot of options than this is the right software to use.
CONSThis software seemed a bit complicated for the average user to use. It was not something that is plug and play ready as there is a lot of little things that need to be set up.
