Core HR refers to the essential processes and systems that support a company’s day-to-day HR operations. It includes functions like employee data management, recruitment, onboarding, training, and performance management. These foundational elements ensure your workforce is managed efficiently and in compliance with labor laws.
Core HR is crucial for HR professionals to manage the employee lifecycle effectively. It helps improve engagement, retention, and productivity while ensuring compliance with legal requirements. By optimising key HR processes, Core HR lays the foundation for a healthy and efficient workplace.
- Recruitment and hiring
- Onboarding and training
- Time and attendance management
- Performance and workforce management
These functions are critical for managing the employee experience, aligning talent with business goals, and staying compliant with labour laws.
Core HR software supports recruitment and hiring by integrating with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to manage candidate data securely and ensure a smooth transition from applicant to employee. It streamlines onboarding, maintains compliance, and centralises employee records, creating a seamless hiring experience.
Onboarding and training help new employees integrate smoothly into the organisation, improving retention and engagement. While Core HR software primarily manages employee records, payroll, and compliance, it often integrates with onboarding and learning management systems (LMS) to automate paperwork, facilitate compliance tasks, and ensure a structured transition for new hires.
Time and attendance management involves tracking working hours, absences, and paid time off (PTO). Core HR software automates these processes with real-time data and self-service tools, reducing errors and administrative effort. Accurate tracking is essential for compliance and building a transparent work culture.
Core HR solutions increase operational efficiency, reduce administrative workload, and provide actionable HR insights. They support better decision-making, enhance the employee experience, and ensure your HR processes scale with your business.
