Pros:

We use a number of products from the Access Group with one of them being PeopleHR, as it manages our HR processes with ease. The level of support provided by Access is second to none - with any query responded to and resolved quickly. This represents great value for money, with very little time spent by the team on understanding bugs and issues, which the team at Access do on our behalf. Having over 400+ employees, this system manages everything from online collaboration, to holiday bookings and accruals and even the performance management processes.

Cons:

There's so much functionality that it takes a long time to fully grasp, but if you dedicate the time to learn, you will eventually reap the benefits.

Pros:

The recording of leave entitlement and usage is clear, concise and easy to navigate for users. 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.

Reasons for choosing Access PeopleHR

Best value for money and ease of access by users, filled all our needs

Thanks for your feedback, Amanda. It’s great to hear leave tracking, carryover and document access work well for your team.

Pros:

People HR is a great piece of software to organised employees data in one place easily. The system allows you to store data in a easy and confidential way, GDPR was easy because of this as it allowed us to go completely paperless

Cons:

Our company is 24 hours, so it was difficult for using the tap in/tap out system as this product works more on a traditional office environment. However, for the most part this was the only product we found which suited our needs

Great value software with more functionality then I currently use.

Positive, especially as I become more confident using the software. They have good customer service and support available. It can optimise workflows if time is taken to set these up and use Access PeopleHR to its full potential, if this was done it would save time during recruitment, employee management and payroll, so I hope to implement this soon.

Functionality

Pros:

Good customer support and communication. I like the report building function which can be amended as per my needs, saved as templates and easily exported. It is useful for employee management tracking an employee's lifetime with the organisation all in one place, including any supporting documentation which can be categorised. I use it to collate payroll information and run month-end reports to ensure nothing is missed.

Cons:

At times it can feel a little clunky to navigate, but recent improvements have helped ease of use to improve. Compared to other software options it does offer value for money, however I do not feel we use all of the functions available to optimise use, I wonder if this is down to time setting them up or training required.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback, Emma. It’s great to hear PeopleHR offers strong value, flexible reporting and supports payroll and employee tracking so effectively. We appreciate your comments on navigation and training, and it’s encouraging to hear recent improvements are helping as you continue to optimise your workflows.

Pros:

PeopleHR is easy to navigate and set up alerts for a variety of tasks. Both employee's and managers can view and update information they need to get quick answers on most questions that an HR team would usually get via email.

Cons:

There are some automations I would expect the system to have that aren't there. Which leads to a bit more admin than it should.

Reasons for choosing Access PeopleHR

WE already had PHR in our French company.

Thanks for your feedback, Martin. It’s great to hear PeopleHR supports accurate payroll, better annual leave management and reduces HR queries through self-service.

Good product but terrible customer service.

I have used PeopleHR for around 10 years. It is very easy for administrators and individuals users to use with limited training. Over the years, it has become increasingly pricey and the customer service has gone downhill. It is very difficult to get hold of anyone and when you do, it's as if they are following a script. Customer satisfation is not a priority.

Cons:

Customer service is appaling. You can never get hold of anyone and even when you do, they do not return your calls and emails. The business puts profit before customer satisfaction.

Vendor Response

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback, Nina. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with customer service, particularly after such long-term use.

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.

Vendor Response

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. We appreciate your comments on ATS visuals and desktop expenses, which are helping shape our enhancements, and it’s good to hear you’re considering payroll integration next.

We have been using PeopleHR as an HR system, as well as an ATS. The HR platform is very easy to use and makes managing employee data simple and efficient.
