## SafeHR Reviews
  ### 1. Intuitive, All-in-One HR Info Hub with Strong Overall Performance

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2026

**What do you like best about SafeHR?**

Safe HR is a reasonably intuitive solution that allows most HR-related information to be stored in one place. It performs well overall, and I’ve also had good support from the team whenever I’ve needed it.

**What do you dislike about SafeHR?**

It can feel a little rigid in places with its rules. We struggled with a few more unusual holiday allocations for some of our international team members, and unfortunately the support team wasn’t able to assist. At times it can be a bit over the top, requiring you to dot every I and cross every T.

**What problems is SafeHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it to store and manage our HR-related activities, including booking holidays, storing contracts, and keeping other associated employee files organised.

  ### 2. Review of Safe HR as an HR management platform

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2026

**What do you like best about SafeHR?**

The most helpful aspect of Safe HR is  that it combines cloud-based HR software with expert HR advice in one platform. It helps small and medium-sized UK businesses manage employee records, payroll, holidays, legal compliance efficiently, reducing confusion and manual paperwork.

Safe HR reduces administrative burden by automating routine HR tasks and keeping all employee information in one secure place. It supports legal compliance with UK employment laws, saves time, improves accuracy, and provides professional HR guidance, which is especially useful for businesses without an in-house HR team.

**What do you dislike about SafeHR?**

Safe HR is mainly designed for small and medium-sized businesses, so it may not suit organizations with complex HR systems or advanced reporting requirements. Some features may feel limited for users who want more customization. New users may also need time to understand and use  all functions effectively.

**What problems is SafeHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Safe HR solves the problem of managing HR tasks manually by bringing employee records, payroll, holiday management, and compliance into one system. This benefits users by saving time, reducing errors, improving organization, and ensuring legal compliance with less stress.

  ### 4. Straight forward and easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wireless | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2024

**What do you like best about SafeHR?**

The dashboard is clean and intuitive, everything is at where they are.  Its easy to navigate.  The way to see everyone's holiday is very clear

Not much really.  it has everything we need.  if there is a mobile app, that would be better.

**What problems is SafeHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 5. The best HR system I've ever used!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hannah T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2023

**What do you like best about SafeHR?**

It's simple and intuitive. The tabs and screens are easy to navigate. There's no complex configuration or set-up required at the start. It is also really easy to bulk-upload and maintain data day to day. 

Managers use it readily (which is a result in its own right when it comes to introducing HR systems to a workplace!) 

We also find our remote workers who access it on their phones find it easy to use on the mobile view. 

The customer service we get is fantastic. The team are responsive - give us a reply from the helpdesk within a couple of hours (sometimes minutes!). They are all so helpful and always offer to put forward ideas to their development team if the system doesn't do something we've asked about.

I've implemented a lot of systems in my time in HR and this is hands down the easiest, best system I've used - over and above some other incredibly expensive ones.  I'm just so pleased we found Citrus - it's been an absolutely game-changer for us.

**What do you dislike about SafeHR?**

Occasionally we come across something the system doesn't do - but it's rare and there is always a work-around. There is also constant development going on and new features coming out, so this isn't a dislike really. I have nothing negative to say about Citrus.

**What problems is SafeHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Enabling the HR team to have all information stored in one central location - the same location that managers and individuals can view details. It's cut down on individual emails and queries to the team about HR records, performance reviews and requests to update personal data. It gives managers and the team so much autonomy and freedom, cutting out the middle man in HR and doing it themselves. It's amazing! 
The report function is also incredibly useful - not only are there preset reports but the dynamic reporting function is great for setting your own parameters and reporting requirements. This has cut down hugley on manual time we previously spend on reporting. 
The Snap Shot view and monthly Pulse / Satisfaction survey's also give a great indication of things going on at a point in time. Love these features.

**Official Response from Rachel Mudd CMktr:**

> Thank you so much for your review, Hannah. We're thrilled to hear that the software is used extensively in your business, and that the support provided by the citrus HR team is fantastic.

Our goal was to provide a brilliant HR offering at an affordable price and it's fantastic to hear that you've experienced that directly.

  ### 6. A great HR tool for small businesses!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2023

**What do you like best about SafeHR?**

Citrus is easy to use, both for mansgers and employees, and has lots of great features. We particularly like managing holiday and sickness absence through Citrus, it makes it so easy to keep track of where everyone is each day!
Also, the Citrus support team are incredibly helpful and quick to respond to queries.

**What do you dislike about SafeHR?**

We were disappointed when we realised Citrus didn't auto-add public holidays in calendars of teammates living outside of the UK, but I believe the team have recently introduced this function which we're thrilled about!

Also, we'd love to be able to filter expense claims by charge code in the future.

**What problems is SafeHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps manage holidays, sick leave, expenses, organize employee's personnel documents, and more!

  ### 7. The team feel like an extension of our company

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2023

**What do you like best about SafeHR?**

The exceptional speedy response to queries. No matter how small or big the question is, the team immediately jumps on it with urgency.  The team have supported my company through lots of HR changes, and we have worked with many agents, and they are all very friendly, professional and genuinely feel like they are an extension of our company.

**What do you dislike about SafeHR?**

I have nothing I do not like about Citrus HR.

**What problems is SafeHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

online HR support portal for employees to store files, manage holidays and absences, objectives and 12s.  Also providing latest HR legal advice when required.

**Official Response from Rachel Mudd CMktr:**

> Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that you get a super quick response from the citrus HR team with your queries. Nobody likes to wait, and we pride ourselves on getting back to customers and helping them solve their HR challenges as quickly and efficiently as possible.
