It brings people records, leave, documents, performance, reporting and compliance into one place, replacing scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools. What's included Core HR: secure central employee records and documents, holiday and leave requests, sickness and absence tracking, self-service, e-signatures, performance management (goals, feedback, one-to-ones, reviews), reporting and analytics. Optional modules: - e-Learning: training management, UK-specific courses, completion tracking - Health and Safety: risk assessments, incident reports, certifications, compliance evidence - Recruitment: hiring workflows, job ads, candidate tracking - Expenses: claims, receipts, manager approval, spend tracking - Rota, Time and Attendance: shifts, availability, hours, attendance In development: an AI Assistant answering HR and policy questions from company information. Payroll planned for late 2026. Problems solved - Scattered data → one accurate central record - Chasing approvals → self-service, e-signatures, shared workflows - Lean HR teams → start with Core HR, add modules as needs grow Result: less duplicate entry and chasing, clearer visibility, more manager and employee involvement. Who it's for Best fit: UK SMEs with up to 200 employees moving HR off spreadsheets, e.g. start-ups, charities, healthcare, retail, education and professional services, especially with lean or shared HR roles. Evaluate carefully: 200+ employees, or needs for multinational payroll, complex global compliance, extensive custom workflows or enterprise workforce planning. Not a global enterprise HCM suite. Why Breathe - 17,000+ businesses; 1,000+ UK HR consultancies - From £24/month per organisation, no long-term contracts or hidden fees - Free 14-day trial, no obligation - UK-based support from setup onwards - ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 accredited; GDPR-conscious; UK data centres, encryption, access controls Bottom line: a flexible, self-service way for UK SMEs to organise HR and cut admin, with room to grow into recruitment, learning, safety, expenses, rotas and payroll (late 2026). 4.4 out of 5 stars 655 Ratings Visit Website for Breathe Cloverleaf Cloverleaf is an AI-powered coaching platform that turns assessment data, HRIS events, and calendar context into proactive, personalized coaching delivered in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Workday, and email.

PerformanceHub: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros PerformanceHub was easy to set up with the help of our contact initially and now the admins can make any further changes required or ask for help. Users say the appraisal format is clear and concise with a detailed explanation of the company's core values. Objectives tabs are user friendly, they particularly like the feedback tool which the management team have used to gain essential feedback internally and externally on individuals' performance. Perfect for recording informal meetings and having the ability to look back and refresh your thoughts. Performance Hub was extremely quick to get up and running for our employees. When we had a need to expand the capability from a performance management system to a performance and salary planning system, Performance Hub took on the task and delivered flawlessly! Ease of use - the application is intuitive and easy to use, requiring minimal training for new users to become competent. Storing all performance related info in one place makes it a lot easier for managers to record, track and reward performance. The way in PerformanceHub presents objectives and key measures was also a positive as we were looking to move to an OKR approach, which this suited. Strategically, PerformanceHub allows us to present every employee with a view of how their objectives fit into the wider picture, allowing us to visually present the golden thread, allowing people to see how they contribute to the overall success of the business. Cons As with any new software we are currently learning what it can and can't do. Different users sometimes want slightly different things and we can't accommodate everyone. It would be useful if bigger objectives could be broken down into sub goals/tasks that feed into the overall We had a complex security model requirement which made it challenging to set up and maintain. Not necessarily things we did not like, but more observations about what would be useful to us: 1. A separate 'performance improvement plan' option, where a specific short term action plan can be created to address particular performance issues for an individual that sits outside of the normal process. This can be achieved within the tool, but we have suggested a potential separate feature to Cogendo who are now looking into it. 2. Documents/images/links - ability to upload images to appraisals, or links to documents would be a useful feature to have. Links can be added, but they are inactive. We understand that this is due to security.
