About the Guide

This HR Management Software Checklist is a practical guide for HR and operations leaders looking to modernise their people systems and processes.

It helps you assess whether your current HR software truly supports the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to time tracking, payroll, and performance management. Packed with insights and a detailed evaluation framework, this guide walks you through what a high-performing HR management system (HRMS) should include:

  • Core features like time and attendance, leave management, and payroll processing
  • Advanced tools such as performance reviews, applicant tracking, and employee self-service
  • Built-in HR compliance controls to keep your organisation aligned with UK and Irish employment law

Whether you’re replacing legacy systems, reviewing vendors, or scaling a growing workforce, this free human resource management guide helps you compare options side by side and make data-driven decisions.

Use it to understand what best-in-class HR software looks like and how an integrated HRMS like HR Duo connects HR, payroll, and workforce management into one secure, compliant platform
