HR Software for Wholesale and Retail Trade

Keeping the doors open each day needs a rigorous approach to workforce planning – making the People Planner in People HR a vital tool for wholesalers and retailers. At a glance, you can see who is working on any given day and search all types of absences, ‘lock’ busy days/periods to secure staff, or authorise time-off requests with a single click. Used in conjunction with our advanced analytics, you’ll transform the way you manage absences.

Analyse and drill down into your HR data to identify trends that might indicate, for example, issues with affording travel just before payday, or sickness rates spiking around major events. People HR analytics can help you can predict these incidents, so you can prepare your managers to mitigate risks and positively influence changes in employee behaviour with effective support – so that your business can operate smoothly, day in, day out.

Not only does People HR have a built-in Applicant Tracking System that takes the hassle out of publishing job opportunities, video interviewing and shortlisting candidates – our software is designed to make it easy to rehire seasonal workers, and caters for all types of contracts. Data capture, form filling, document checking and sharing training information are all automated with intelligent workflows to streamline the onboarding process.

Our People HR mobile app is perfect for anyone working in retail, giving your employees the power to book holiday, update their data, manage their documentation and access training – all in their own language! Wherever they are, you can nurture their engagement with company updates, opinion polls and secure chat, and reward their hard work with a virtual ‘thank you’ badge, to show your appreciation when they go the extra mile for customers.

With expert HR advice built into each element of People HR software you will never miss the next logical step in an HR process. (For example, you just changed an employee's bank details > time to notify payroll!) Automatic alerts and reminders help managers organise their HR tasks and ensure important deadlines are met. And People HR also lets you see how you stack up against other retailers (using anonymised data) so you can benchmark performance to inform your improvement plans, and stay ahead of the competition!
