How we support HR in Legal Practices

Having an HR system that isn’t adding value or delivering useful insight to your legal firm could be costing you money, as well as wasting valuable resource and losing competitive insight.

Our intuitive and integrated recruitment, HR and payroll software not only bring you value by streamlining your processes, increasing productivity and making roles more efficient, but also providing you with the flexibility to scale as your firm grows and develops, ensuring you’re fully supported every step of the way. Having accurate, live data to truly understand your workforce and forward plan is just the tip of the iceberg.

Nurture your talent and their performance potential

  • Our talent and performance management software helps you promote company culture and vision as well as assessment driven development, ensuring you’re able to manage all ongoing development, training needs and completed courses across your whole practice from one central data source.
  • You’ll be able to provide your employees with long-term goals, company aligned objectives and clear career paths; which will better engage them by giving them a clear focus and integration with the future of your firm, building their loyalty.
  • Map talent, succession plans and those at risk of attrition to proactively manage retention every day.

Accurate data analytics you can report to the SRA

  • It’s important that you remain compliant with the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority and managing your people data with an efficient and effective data management system can ensure you do this in the best way possible.
  • You’ll have the ability to create and publish custom dashboards to track performance and use the data to make smarter business decisions.
  • Streamline your processes with accurate and quick data and reporting that you can easily extract, analyse and share, ensuring you provide your diversity statistics and gender pay gap reporting to the SRA quickly and accurately; giving you time back to focus on your employees.

Onboarding new starters with a personal touch

  • Our onboarding software can give you a competitive edge, using a personal touch to keep your new hires engaged until they start with the firm.
  • It allows you to communicate directly with them and gives you the ability to brand and personalise their welcome and first experiences with your firm, ensuring that they feel part of your workplace right from their first interaction with you.
  • Our software also helps you to efficiently get the necessary data and policies completed before they start and enables up front training so that they’re day one ready to deliver value from the start.
