SelectHR Lite brings human resources functionality to SMEs

Colchester, UK -15 July 2010 - Access, the mid-market consulting, software and solutions provider is putting HR functionality into the hands of small businesses with the release of SelectHR Lite. The special version of the software not only comes with full HR functionality, but is also available on a monthly subscription model making it available for companies that wouldn't be able to justify the capital investment. "We've simply included the parts of the solution that are suitable for a smaller customer and delivered a great HR solution at an affordable price," said Dee Caporali, sales director at Access Select, the HR and payroll solutions arm of Access. "Using a rental model really opens it up to companies of every size."

Having functional HR software can greatly reduce the burden on the HR department with modules that store and search employee records in an efficient way, whether it's for training and recruitment purposes or absence and holidays. SelectHR Lite has self-service as an optional extra which allows all employees to maintain their own basic records, again greatly reducing the workload of human resources, as personal records, training, holidays and absence requests can all be entered individually via the dashboard on each employee's computer.  This not only saves time but also reduces the need for rekeying essential information.

"The market for HR software has traditionally been larger companies; small businesses may have wanted the functionality but it was not financially possible," continued Dee. "As well as being affordable, there's also very little in the way of installation required, and all staff can use it via their desktop web browser - it's the closest solution to an off-the-shelf product you can get."

Alex Reeves, marketing director at Access, added, "For some time we've wanted to open up our product range to the SME sector. Now with the Lite version of our popular SelectHR software we've done just that. It's affordable, functional and will be of great benefit to companies with fewer than 150 employees. I believe they'll see a significant return on investment."
