I'm most interested in news updates and training materials and forms. I have to go through a lot more steps to find what I need than before.
I used this software several years ago and loved it. So far, I liked how it was before, but that may be because I haven't figured it out yet.
I'm having trouble finding what I need. It was a lot easier to navigate before!

This product is amazing and truly helps our HR professionals stay on track.
Our members can get all the resources they need for Human Resources in one location.
The handbook development could be a little less cumbersome.

Typically to understand the individiual state laws.
I often use the feature designed to pull a report, by state, for laws within specific topics. Great resource and abilit to download into PDF and send along is terrific.
I would love to be able to pull the above mentioned reports into an excel file so I can manipulate it after download.

I’m happy and will continue to use the product.
Meets all compliance…allows for easy updates. Also allows for ease of use with employees.
Not excited about the recurring cost just for yearly maintenance. You should have a cost for creating the product and another for maintaining the product. I am a small business and know many others and have recommended your product, all with the same response.
Hello Aarin, thank you for your response, it is highly valued. We will be sure to review the concerns you listed.

The ability to look up laws and make state guideane reports.
Login in shuts down often and I have to have it escalated to be able to log back in. Not a system that I can get departmental buy in to use. Not sure why, maybe not as user friendly as I thought. Job descriptions do not allow for the title we use

Mostly medium of the road
It gave some helpful information at times.
Many times there was a charge to find out information and I did not want my company to have to pay extra.

We just started with HR Hero, so this was my first experience. Although it wasn't the greatest and was a little quirky, it still provided me with the outcome I was looking for so I'd use it again in the future for a similar need.
We were able to locate a job description that provided an excellent starting point for creating our own. There were a couple options that we were able to reference in order to compare which one would be most relevant to our search.
In order to do a search, you have to first create a search option, before you can actually perform your search. And although there were a couple options to choose from, there were not many in our search results. The job we were searching for was not out of the ordinary either, so I would have expected to find more results. And when we found one that was suitable, it was a little quirky in order to figure out how to download it.

It was a good learning tool.
I used it for looking up various items and the handbook builder. The handbook builder was an excellent tool for compiling a handbook.
I am not aware of any issues with any of the products I used.

It was particularly helpful during the pandemic with all the rapidly changing regulations. As a small firm it is not always easy to keep up in such an environment.
It's great to be able to narrow down research to information that deals with our state. I don't need to know about other states and this really helps. The wide variety of reference guides, forms and policies always give me a great jumping off point when writing new policies or revising old ones.
I can't think of anyting that I would like to add to the software.
