I can’t say enough about how intuitive and simple using Gusto has been for everything. Adding a reimbursement? Easy. QSEHRA? Plenty of people to help with this. Setting up a 401(k)? They got you. It’s really been a lifesaver for us as we are a two-person non profit without internal HR or Accounting support. Also, THE PIG IS THE CUTEST.

What is cloud HR software?

HR cloud software is an online platform that handles human resource functions from employee data management to benefits administration. Cloud software provides data security along with remote access to your HR data from anywhere in the world.

Some key features of cloud based HR systems include remote access, secure employee data management, payroll, hiring and onboarding tools, performance management, benefits administration, and custom analytics and reporting.

What are the benefits of a cloud HR system?

Cloud based HR allows you to streamline your people management while saving both time and money. Having a single, cloud-based solution means all of your employee data exists in one easy-to-access place. It means employees can access their own personal data and benefits information, and your HR department can reduce errors and save time by avoiding duplicate data entry across multiple platforms. No more manually entering time cards or keeping track of PTO in never-ending email chains. And because you and your employees’ data is stored securely in the cloud, you never have to worry about protecting sensitive information.

How do I choose the best cloud HR software?

The best cloud HR systems should be easy to use and be able to grow as your business grows. It should make it simple for your employees to self-manage their own data while making it easier for you (or your HR department) to handle compliance, hiring, performance management, and more. Be sure to choose a platform that has all the tools you need and doesn’t charge extra for every bell and whistle.
