“One of the things I like about Charlie is that there's a lot more transparency to the team. They know this is the place where information resides. They can upload documents themselves and they know they will be in Charlie rather than lost in some ‘cloud’ or email thread.”

FAQs

What is employee database software? 

Arrow

Employee database software is a handy way of storing all your team member’s data in one place. It also allows you to manage, edit and report on all of your employee information, making it an all-around easier process to manage your HR data. 

What is the average cost of an employee database software in the UK? 

Arrow

The average cost of employee database software is really dependent on the kind of software you get. It’s very unusual to see companies simply go for software that solely handles employee records.

Small businesses and startups in particular are keen on automating as many processes as possible to scale their business – that includes time off and onboarding functionalities for example. 

So there’s no average cost per se, as pricing is based on the kind of software you get. Most software operates on a price-per-employee basis. At Charlie, starting at only £5 per month, you get a complete HR software for all your HR needs (time off management, onboarding, performance management, engagement surveys, and even a free employee perks platform!)

Should I get employee database software?

Arrow

If you’re a small business or startup looking to scale your business and automate more of your processes, getting employee database software is essential. It will free up your time and help you avoid having to use an employee detail form or an employee database template.

On top of this, you could save time and remove all manual processes by using HR software like Charlie.

What is the difference between employee database software and spreadsheets? 

Arrow

The main difference between employee database software and spreadsheets is how error-prone and unpractical a spreadsheet can be. 

You might argue that a spreadsheet won’t cost you anything, but it will take more time to set up and figure out where you got a formula wrong and how to fix the mistake – ending up costing you more money and making it impossible to scale the process.

Is an employee database a type of HR software? 

Arrow

An employee database software can be part of the many features HR software can offer. At Charlie, for example, we do offer employee database management software as part of our HR software, but we also have tons of other features you can benefit from: 

  • A time off management system that runs itself and that you can set and customise in no time 

  • An onboarding process that automates all your paperwork and meets compliance requirements

  • A performance management system that makes room for growth and improvement within your organisation, giving as much support as needed to your team members

  • Engagement surveys that help you keep your finger on the pulse by giving you an in-depth picture of your team’s morale and helping you make the right decisions 

  • Perks and benefits included at no extra cost so you can give your team members the rewards they deserve and level up your offering 

  • Integrations made for seamless workflows – integrate with the rest of your HR tech stack so you don’t have to update each system one by one
