Empowering HR to lead. Not just operate.

What HR needs to stop firefighting, and start reshaping the workforce.

Centralise employee data records – from hire-to-retire – and sync profile updates in HR Core.  Layer ELMO’s AI-powered natural language insights engine over a complete data foundation to inform workforce decisions in real time, no spreadsheets or data analysts required.

Find talent without tedious back-and-forth across systems and emails. Use gen-AI to write descriptions, post to multiple job boards in one click, centralise candidate data, and generate offer letters in a connected ELMO workflow. Automate Onboarding tasks in the one platform.

Set new hires up for success from day one – with intuitive, yet sophisticated, onboarding workflows. Go from digital offer letter acceptance, to tailored learning checklists, without having to leave ELMO’s platform. Trigger compliance training or learning courses automatically within our Learning workflow.

One size doesn’t fit all. Our best-in-class payroll network means you can select a partner to suit your size, structure and systems. With two-way data syncs and data conflict alerts in ELMO, keep critical data accurate and your business compliant, without sacrificing choice or fit.

Assign training automatically, track completions and support every employee with pre-built or personalised AI-generated learning content. From onboarding to career development paths, embed learning into everyday workflows –  as part of one platform, not another tool.

Make goal-setting and performance conversations seamless, and trackable, with an intuitive interface, scheduled reminders and team-level completion tracking. Calibrate scores within ELMO and roll-up reporting in a central record, not siloed spreadsheets. Automatically generate salary letters by employee, and store acknowledgement within their record.

Develop capability frameworks and identify gaps in moments, not months. AI generates frameworks for emerging skills in minutes, benchmarks current capabilities through manager assessments, and targets gaps with personalised learning that drives measurable improvement.

Why ELMO?

Position yourself to lead

Connected data, not modules under one roof
Other platforms bundle products together but your data still lives in silos. ELMO unifies HR, Payroll and Rostering on one foundation, so AI insights work across your complete workforce data, not fragments of it.
Built for New Zealand’s complexity, not retrofitted for it
PayDay filing and Kiwi Saver compliance built into the architecture by a team with 20+ years local expertise. Aotearoa is not just another market to serve.
Live in weeks, not quarters
Enterprise platforms often need 12 months and a team of consultants. ELMO delivers enterprise-grade capability at speed; so you get results now, not next financial year.
Expert partners, not support tickets
We add value beyond setup. ELMO pairs you with local experts who advise past go-live – implementation, optimisation, change management. That’s why our customers stay.

Lipman’s story
All of our HR processes are now quicker, reliable and accurate now that we’ve implemented ELMO. Going from the old days of signed forms scanned via email to a form with a built-in workflow has not only made our jobs easier as HR professionals, but also for our business leaders.
