Access PeopleHR Reviews & Product Details

The new people analytics feature is an excellent tool that enables you to explore a wide range of data. Additionally, the PHR system serves as an effective solution for maintaining employee records and integrating payroll processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are currently many system changes happening, and while these are all positive, the guides are only truly helpful once you already know what you need to find. During the initial stages of a rollout, things can be a bit confusing, making it challenging for administrators to get up to speed and feel confident before introducing the changes to the wider business.

It’s better than using paper, and it makes it much easier for me to keep track of remote staff. Overall, it helps me stay organized and monitor things more consistently without relying on paperwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We track time in hours, but PeopleHR seems split: part of it records time in minutes, while another part uses decimal fractions of an hour. This inconsistency gets very confusing, and the resulting calculations aren’t always accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ribbon feature where I can search for employees and have the last 3 viewed profiles readily accessible instead of going back to the employee dashboard each time. It's intuitive to use, allowing me to store all documents in one place and update personal details easily when needed. It's also really easy to run reports and filter through options to get the exact information required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the new update when creating a new employee's profile. I find the layout to be odd and some of the fields that used to be required are now optional, which means when I am going back, I am having to input the information again. I also don't like the way it calculates annual leave and inputting the salary information. When typing in addresses, it only gives you the UK home addresses and as we are a global company, it means I have to input this information manually once the profile is created for someone who is in another country.

User-Friendly & Accessible

We use the platform on a daily basis and find the interface is widely regarded as intuitive and straightforward, making it easy for even non-technical staff to use. This simplicity helps minimize the learning curve for both HR teams and employees. The employee self-service portal, along with the mobile app, empowers staff to handle their own information, such as submitting leave requests and accessing payslips, without needing to involve HR every time. Easy to set up and implement and the support team was always there if we needed help. Integrates seamlessly with our payroll provider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting module can occasionally feel a bit unintuitive, but in most cases, this is more due to user error than any issue with the platform itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is fairly straightforward, making it easy for staff to understand and navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A new process was introduced on 1 December 2025, requiring users to raise cases only from within the App. However, this raises concerns about what to do if the system is down. The suggested alternative is to call the provided number, but that number is not valid. Additionally, their website at https://status.peoplehr.com/ claims there are no issues, even though there is a Cloudflare problem affecting access.

I have also repeatedly requested, along with many others, that the default view under tasks should show only open tasks. This feedback has been ignored, and I am forced to manually select the option to hide completed tasks every single time. It is frustrating to have to see all my closed tasks from years ago when I only want to focus on what is currently open.

There are many many items suggested for improvement on their site but nothing seems to be forthcoming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Access PeopleHR provides a simple and self-service solution to annual leave and annual review processes all in one place. It's easy for the team to use. I also find our appraisals process straightforward with the opportunity for 360 feedback. It allows for good quality anonymous feedback and offers an element of customization so I can ask the questions I feel are important. Additionally, switching from Sage, I thought Access PeopleHR was a simple and cost-effective solution. The initial setup was straightforward and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The goals section in the annual review form could be improved. We have also had some challenges with costing for licenses. I would like the ability to see all the goals in one place rather than having to open them up individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Access PeopleHR as our central HR management platform. It helps me track time and attendance, including annual leave requests, so I no longer need spreadsheets. PeopleHR has a user-friendly interface that removes a lot of manual admin work. Key functions like employee records, reporting, document uploads, and approvals are clearly structured and easy to access, which really speeds up day-to-day tasks. The initial setup was relatively straightforward, especially for a system of its scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think reporting and analytics could be improved. Greater flexibility and a more user-friendly report builder would add significant value. A more intuitive custom report builder would be valuable. At the moment, it feels slightly technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Access PeopleHR is easy to use and the navigation around the portal is straightforward. It makes managing my team and requests through the system simple.

Reporting and customization could be improved as more flexibility would be helpful when extracting data. Reporting could be improved by offering more customizable report templates. Having greater control over fields, workflows, and approval steps would make the system better suited to different team structures and processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how everything I need is all in one place on Access PeopleHR. It allows me to track sick days and holiday requests easily. It also helps us know how many days off people have had and identify any patterns, which prevents us from being understaffed. I appreciate that it lets other managers see if someone is on annual leave or sick. I use the employee section, ATS, and Access EVO. I find ATS really good for managing job vacancies as they are all under one tab. It's easy to view resumes and sort them for interviews or rejections. The initial setup was very simple and easy.

When putting out a job vacancy, it would be more beneficial to have templates to click through or when you have an interview, there should be a list of agendas to follow. If there was a dropdown list of each job description to go by and modify as needed, it would help. Similarly, having interview agendas to guide you through the process would make it easier to lead the interview confidently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
