Automate your HR

What is cloud HR software?

Cloud HR software is an HR system that you access online. You can use cloud HR software to do anything HR-related from anywhere with an internet connection — whether that’s at the office, at home, or somewhere else entirely. The primary functions of cloud HR software are:

  • Secure data storage - all employee data is safely stored within the software, so it can’t get lost or corrupted (with Charlie for example, your sensitive HR information is encrypted and protected according to ISO 27001 standards)

  • Automated workflows - essential HR tasks and admin are fully automated so they take less time and cause less stress, and can’t be overlooked or forgotten

  • Remote access - one of the huge benefits of cloud HR software is that it can be accessed anytime and from anywhere. 

Cloud-based HR solutions are fast becoming the preferred choice for progressive, modern businesses. This is because they want scalable and easy-to-use HR software that streamlines all essential HR tasks, supports compliance, and improves employee experience. You just can’t get that with traditional, on-premise software. 

Using cloud HR systems empowers your employees to do their work wherever they’re most creative and productive, whether that’s from home, at the office, or from a coffee shop. 

Charlie’s cloud HR software is efficient, secure and perfect for your growing small business. Book a free demo to see how it works.

Core features of CharlieHR’s cloud HR software

Let’s break down what Charlie offers small businesses and their teams:

Ease of use

Straight off the bat, Charlie’s cloud HR software is so easy to use it requires no training. You and your team can literally pick it up and run with it. 

Automated onboarding 

Charlie simplifies employee onboarding with automated digital workflows. All you have to do is create your new team member’s profile with their name and email address and the system does the rest. 

All employee data is stored securely and centrally within Charlie, so it can’t be lost or corrupted. 

Time-off management

Managing time-off is one of the biggest time-vacuums for small teams, but Charlie helps with that too.

Tracking and approving leave is much easier with cloud HR software: employees send their requests through the system and you can then approve or reject with a click

All calendars automatically update to include the dates and type of leave, and Charlie sends out automatic reminders so that no one forgets.

Performance reviews

CharlieHR’s intuitive features simplify how you collect employee feedback and set individual goals.

With our simple review-builder, you can create and launch any type of review in seconds — and the system automatically rolls out recurring reviews across the year. 

Charlie’s HR cloud software comes with built-in templates, so that your performance reviews are quick and easy to set up, and you and your team stay consistent.

Self-service

Cloud HR software allows your team members to do a lot of the essential HR admin themselves. So as well as taking a job (or several!) off your desk, Charlie empowers your employees to manage their own information and HR requests. 

Compliance tracking

Compliance with employment regulations is often a worry for startups and small businesses. How can you be 100% confident that you’re doing everything right if you’re not entirely sure you understand it?

Charlie’s cloud HR software helps you easily stay compliant with automated reminders so that nothing is overlooked, and secure document storage so that all sensitive data is fully protected.
