EMPLOYEE AND HR MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Minimize

Online employee management 

Online HR management tools

When you employ more than a handful of staff the management of your human resource (HR) process and HR practices might start to get a bit more complicated and time consuming. Unless you have dedicated HR professionals these tasks are likely to be a drain on your managers' time and are probably beyond their area of expertise.  Even if you do have someone dedicated or responsible for HR they will still require a reliable source of up to date employment legislation, and will need to ensure adequate staff records are kept.  Using a managed online system might be an idea:

  • when you need to start a formal recruitment process rather than recruiting friends or family
  • have employee attendance or disciplinary issues to contend with
  • have maternity or paternity entitlements to manage
  • managing requests for flexible working (note: from 6 April 2009 the right to request flexible working is available to all parents with children aged up to 16
  • when you want to make sure you're retaining your skilled workforce by properly logging and actively managing their training and career progression


Online HR management solutions

One of the ways you can do this is by using an online HR management tool such as Youmanage. Until now only cost-effective for medium to large organisations, Youmanage now has a small business edition that is aimed at the small and micro business market, and is a cost-effective way of managing issues and HR policy for companies with 7 or more employees.  Now Let's Get Started is an official appointed referrer for Youmanage.
