We’re with you

on your HR journey
With the volume of HR software solutions on the market,
choosing the ‘right’ one is difficult, whatever your business size or
requirements.

With providers offering similar features and functionality, finding the

right partner is often the biggest challenge.

Those not yet using software might be coming up against systems

with features they don’t need and won’t use. Those with complex
requirements, might be discovering software that can’t be tailored
to their needs or deliver the level of customisation to fill them with
confidence.

Access is an HR partner committed to understanding your

unique goals and ensuring you get what you need from your
software investment now, and on the rest of your journey.

Why Access

More than ‘just’ HR

HR was for too long associated with admin, and not with its contribution
to business goals.

We’re glad that automation has now turned this into an outdated
concept.

HR is now at the heart of business success, the architect of employee

experience; an integral force driving culture, fostering future talent, and
the catalyst for meaningful organisational change.

Access embodies this ethos. We’re more than ‘just’ HR too. With a
suite of integrated tools for payroll, learning and employee engagement,
we help you move from simplifying your day-to-day HR processes to
enhancing your employee experience.
