HR’s old operational pressures remain. And now AI is changing which roles exist, what skills you need, and what leadership expects. The data shows where organisations are falling behind, and how to start closing the gap.

What HR needs to stop firefighting and start shaping the workforce.

Centralise an employee system of record, 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 skills gaps in minutes, not months. Built-in AI generates frameworks for emerging skills, benchmarks current capabilities through manager assessments, and develops personalised learning for employee development.

Lipman’s story
The automations, workflows and notifications we have set up for onboarding have been life changing. [It] has given us insight into the organisation we haven’t had previously. We have reduced a 102-step process to just 30 steps.

Brosnan’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.
