Save Time and Money By Automating HR Tasks By automating everyday HR tasks such as probation reminders, holiday tracking, absence tracking and leaver reminders you remove repetitive admin and reduce errors. HR software removes the need for spreadsheets, emails, and paper files. By centralising all HR processes in one system you eliminate duplicated paperwork, reduce software costs and simplify compliance, making it easy to stay organised and compliant without adding more work. This saves time across the business, not just for those with responsibility for HR. As an owner-manager, HR software allows you to focus on what really matters: supporting your people and driving performance. On average, our clients who are using Breathe HR say it saves them 5 hours a week. |
| Clear HR Insights Without Complexity Breathe HR gives owners of SMEs accurate, real-time data on employees (see who is new, who is off, and what needs action) in one secure, accessible place, eliminating messy spreadsheets. Sensitive data is protected with encryption and audit trails allow you to track changes. Quick summaries and reminders mean you do not have to remember important HR dates, such as probation deadlines and maternity return dates or dig through paperwork. You stay in control of your people processes, the custom dashboards show only what matters to you, allowing quick checks without disrupting your working day. Breathe centralises your people data in the cloud, so you can find exactly what you need, when you need it, wherever you are and whatever device you are using. |

Improves Efficiency Breathe’s easy-to-use system streamlines your everyday tasks whilst giving your people useful visibility of their holiday allowances, personal details and more – so you can wave goodbye to unnecessary admin. When HR processes are simple and clear, employees spend less time asking questions or waiting for approvals. This reduces frustration and keeps your team focused on their work. Clear records and processes also help build trust and professionalism, even in very small teams. Less time and money spent on HR admin means more capacity to grow revenue and focus on customers. |
| Keeps Your Data Secure We understand that entrusting personal data into a system can be daunting, but the security of your data is our number one priority. With Breathe’s ISO27001-accredited software, you’ll have peace of mind that your data is in safe hands and you’re staying GDPR-compliant. And now for some technical stuff…. Breathe exists on a RAID 10 array, making it very robust and reliable. However, in the extremely unlikely event of a major problem, they do have a backup policy. The system is backed up to an Amazon S3 storage bucket, which sets the standard in terms of security and reliability. Backups are kept for seven days. In addition, a backup is kept from the 1st of each month for three months. The backup includes all client data and documents and is stored here in the UK. This is designed to provide 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability of backup files over any given year. |
