The HR data problem

Your HR data shouldn't live in five different places.

Spreadsheets for the directory, shared drives for HR files, a separate tool for org charts, another for compliance - and a week of reconciliation every time someone changes role.

workit's HR Core is the centre point of the platform. Every module - recruitment, onboarding, compliance, policies, leave, performance, offboarding - writes back to the same employee profile, so one update is the only update.

Everything in HR Core

The whole workforce, in one platform.

Directory, documents, org charts, positions and a single consolidated view of every staff member across every module.

Employee directory

A live, searchable directory of every staff member - with a consolidated view of their core HR data and every module they touch, from one screen.

One employee profile, every module

Open a staff member to see tabs for onboarding, compliance, policies, performance, leave and offboarding - the whole HR record in one place.

HR files & documents

Store contracts, certifications, ID, signed forms and any other HR document on the employee record - no shared drives, no missing paperwork.

Reporting-line org chart

Visualise the business by positional reporting hierarchy - see managers, direct reports and the chain of command at a glance.

Business-unit org chart

Flip the same data into a business-unit view - divisions, departments and teams - to understand how the workforce is structured.

Position & reporting management

Manage positions, reporting lines and structural changes centrally - update once and every downstream module stays in sync.

User & access information

User accounts, roles and access live alongside the employee record - onboarding, offboarding and changes flow through one system.

Single source of truth

Recruitment, onboarding, compliance, policies, leave, performance and offboarding all write back to the same master record - no duplicate data entry.

Consolidated module view

See the entire HR footprint of one person - pending tasks, acknowledged policies, expiring credentials, reviews due - without switching tools.

Connected by design

Every module reads from - and writes to - the same record.

Hire someone in recruitment, finish their onboarding, and they flow straight into the directory and org chart - no re-keying. Acknowledge a policy and it's stamped on their profile. One record, every module, no reconciliation.

FAQ

HR Core software, answered.

What is HRIS software?

+

HRIS software (Human Resources Information System software) is the central HR system of record for your workforce. workit HRIS software stores employee data, HR documents, reporting structure and the workflows that touch them. As Australian HRIS software, workit connects recruitment, onboarding, compliance, policies, leave, performance and offboarding into one HRIS employee profile.

How is workit HRIS software different from a standalone HR tool?

+

Standalone HR tools cover one job; workit HRIS software covers the entire employee lifecycle in one HRIS platform. Because workit HRIS software is the system of record, every module reads and writes the same HRIS employee profile - no duplicate data, no disconnected HRIS spreadsheets, no parallel HR systems.

What's in the workit HRIS employee directory?

+

Every staff member, searchable in one HRIS directory. From the HRIS directory you can drill into a profile to see core HR data, HR files and a tab for each HRIS module - onboarding, compliance, policies, performance, leave and more. The HRIS directory is the front door to the whole employee record.

Can the workit HRIS show the business as an org chart?

+

Yes. workit HRIS software generates two org chart views from the same HRIS data: a reporting-line view based on positional hierarchy, and a business-unit view based on divisions, departments and teams. Both HRIS org charts update automatically when positions and reporting lines change inside the HRIS.

How are positions and reporting lines managed in the HRIS?

+

Positions, reporting lines and structural changes are managed centrally in the workit HRIS. Update a position once in the HRIS and every downstream module - HRIS directory, HRIS org chart, compliance assignments, performance reviews - uses the new HRIS data.

Where are HR documents stored in the HRIS?

+

On the HRIS employee record. Contracts, certifications, ID, signed forms and custom HR files all live against the person they belong to inside the HRIS, accessible from one HRIS profile rather than scattered drives or email.

Is workit HRIS software built for Australian businesses?

+

Yes. workit is Australian HRIS software - built in Australia, supported in Australia and designed for Australian HR teams. The HRIS suits small business through to regulated industries including healthcare, aged care, childcare, education and government.

Is the HRIS module included in workit's price?

+

Yes. The HRIS module is the foundation of workit and is included in the standard $5 per employee per month price - every workit HRIS module is included, with no per-module fees, feature tiers or lock-in contracts.
