Pros and cons

It's great at empowering employees to have the ability to change their own personal information securely and confidently as well as the ability to apply for leave.
Very happy with EmployeeConnect, I will definitely come back for a 2nd time, know how to treat their clients and how to provide the best possible services.
It is encouraging to see that ongoing improvements to the system's functionality are being made. Considering its value for money, the system is deemed to be a good investment.
Some of the system management functionality can be difficult to find and there is limited access to update business processes that we can change ourselves.
The cost and the software sometimes crashes. Many employees concern about their information on the web when crash.
Lack of easy to use configuration panel. Paying every month is pain and don't like ricing per user.

Words from a Newbie to the System

Reviewed 7 months ago

It has been an amazing journey to get up and running and we are not finished yet. While we are in and working there are still some modules to go before we are fully functional. Our support teams from Employee Connect know their stuff and it's a bit frightening when they appear to read your mind! It's been fun and frustrating at the same time, you need to take the time to get the inputs right to...

Pros

Incorporating the modular format to encompass HR system and Health and Safety in an easy to use platform.

Cons

Some of the reporting functions we had been use to we will need to look at how best to create in Employee Connect.

EmployeeConnect - A positive impact to the way we work.

Reviewed a year ago

Overall, we feel that EC is going to have a positive influence over the way we work. Getting started with setting up with our system certainly identified areas in which we needed to improve/build on. We were looking for a way forward, a program in which allowed our business to improve the employee’s experience, move with the times, be able to closely monitor employment history and terms and conditions, and as a company we also pride ourselves with our goal to be the best, so this certainly gives us that point of difference to our competitors within the industry.

Pros

- Ability to share company’s documents – AMAZING- Being able to have Subcontractors recorded within the system too- Being able to have multiple companies set up- Moving forward the new way to handle our team’s information and track changes etc- Workflows – being so customisable- Being able to customise the system to the way we work – IT team/Development Team setting up additional alerts for us

Cons

Mobile App - ability to have within the app would be good. Some minor integration costs that weren't noted within the contract. Inability to merge electronic signature onto signed/accepted docs.

Vendor response

Thank you so much for your review, Julianne. We really appreciate the time you took to not only help us improve, but say the nice things you have said.

A great HR system

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

EmployeeConnect is a user friendly system and an effective one stop shop for all our HR needs so that we don't need to use multiple systems/platforms. We are also given friendly and quick support by the team.

Cons

There are no significant cons that I can identify. Every system has its limitations so just stay realistic.

Vendor response

Hey Rebecca, thank you so much for your review, we truly appreciate it. We are glad you cannot find any cons haha, the team will be over the moon with that feedback. We will continue to support and assist as best we can. Thank you!

EmployeeConnect Review

Reviewed a year ago

The EmployeeConnect team played a pivotal role in assisting us with the redesign of our employee lifecycle programs and experiences, they took the time to understand our business needs and collaborated with us to tailor the product to align with our requirements.

Pros

The EmployeeConnect software has significantly enhanced our employee lifecycle programs, resulting in heightened process efficiency through workflow automation and a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to use and navigate. Would highly recommend!

Cons

The integration with KeyPay requires continued development, with ongoing efforts aimed at automating the workflow for employee lifecycle changes. Once this is finalised it will create a seamless connection between HR processes and payroll functions.

Vendor response

Hey Wendy, thank you so much for your review, we truly appreciate it. We will continue to work closely with keypay to improve the systems. We are glad to know that our team took the time to assist you as best they can. Thank you.

All your HR needs in one place

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

We mainly use Employee Management (onboarding, offboarding and movements). We have templates in the system and it's easy to select the changes from a few drop down menus and apply the changes. The onboarding process for employees is also great, allowing digital signatures & monitoring of onboarding completion. It's great at empowering employees to have the ability to change their own personal information securely and confidently as well as the ability to apply for leave. We will be looking to implement more features in the near future.

Cons

Some of the system management functionality can be difficult to find and there is limited access to update business processes that we can change ourselves. EmployeeConnect only integrates with KeyPay overnight, would prefer integration occurs more often or even instantly, however, saying that you can force integration manually.

Vendor response

Hey Tara, thank you so much for your amazing review. We will continue to work on the products functionality, but thank you for your honest feedback. I hope you continue to love working with and using employeeconnect. Thank you!

User friendly, super easy to implement with very little training required

Reviewed a year ago

Overall, the experience has been highly positive. The service provided by our CS manager, especially during the implementation of the Performance management module, has been exceptional and has outweighed any frustrations caused by platform or integration issues. It is encouraging to see that ongoing improvements to the system's functionality are being made.Considering its value for money, the system is deemed to be a good investment.

Pros

The customer success managers have provided exceptional technical support and service during the implementation process. Their patience and understanding with our changing requirements have been greatly appreciated. Despite being busy with multiple clients, our CS manager consistently goes above and beyond to deliver the service we need.The system itself is highly user-friendly and effortless to implement and train employees on. We particularly appreciate the ability to customise the system according to our specific needs. Overall, the system offers good value for money.

Cons

There are some limitations in the integration with Xero and the processing of leave requests and balances. The effectiveness of lodging tickets to address these issues has been limited, leaving uncertainty about whether it is an integration problem or a platform limitation.While the system's customisation capability is a positive aspect, it's important to consider the additional costs associated with customisation, which can accumulate depending on the extent of customisation required.

Vendor response

Hey Louise, thank you so much for your positive review, we pride ourselves on our customer service, hearing this sort of feedback makes us very proud. If there is anything we can do for you, we are always open and available to support in anyway we can. Sheryll.

Employee Connect Review

Reviewed a year ago

We have improved our process of Onboarding new employees - from at least 2-3 days down to 20 minutes. We no longer have to work with extensive papers, printing or sending forms via post to new employees and then wait for them to send these forms back signed. During Covid we all had to work from home, and Employee Connect was a great tool to use to be able to send online to everyone policy sign offs, workplace health and safety procedures and other forms necessary to keep the company compliant with legislative changes.

Pros

Onboarding module; Recruitment module; Performance Review module; HR Core Module and Reporting function plus dashboards are all fantastic. As an Administrator of the System and a busy HR Manager, with 80+ people in the organisation Nation wide, I find that I wouldn't be able to manage time and efficiency in HR without Employee Connect.

Cons

The learning and development module could be improved to cater for say training to be taken via videos, although you can integrate systems like Go1 or Moodle with Employee Connect which can be advantageous. You can only provide links to third party providers for employees to do training.

Vendor response

Hey Libby, thank you so much for your support. We appreciate your kind review, it is an absolute pleasure working with you and your team and we hope to continue the ongoing relationship for many years to come. EmployeeConnect integrates with GO1, Moodle and Litmos. We are exploring options as to how we can bring online content in-house. - Sheryll

User friendly, fantastic system!

Reviewed a year ago

Excellent!

Pros

The platform itself has everything in a HRIS system that we were looking for and more! One of the best parts about partnering with EmployeeConnect is the time and support we have received from the team throughout the whole journey. From the initial engagement and trial to implementation, they are very responsive and always there to help in all stages of the process. EmployeeConnect have been able to tailor their platform to our businesses individual needs in all core modules.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is the small number of limitations with the way it integrates with Xero.

Vendor response

Let this program replace several of your others

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

This program lets you replace a few of your others which will become obsolete now that you have EmployeeConnect. This lets you keep all of your files and resources for human resources in one easy to use program and can be accessed very easily on the road or on the go. This program has helped us save countless hours of employee time but automating some processes and making things much simpler.

Cons

Sometimes it can seem like there are too many subscription options available and it can be a chore deciding which one is right for your business. Just make sure to check all of the benefits of each and what is included. We started with the free trial and then have slowly been upgrading as we go. You may be better off just jumping in and getting the highest plan from the start.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

When we first tried this software we liked that there were so many options to choose from. This ended up being the reason we did not continue with it becuase we were paying for more than we needed. If you want a lot of options than this is the right software to use.

Cons

This software seemed a bit complicated for the average user to use. It was not something that is plug and play ready as there is a lot of little things that need to be set up.

easily track employee performance

Pros

Employee connect is one of the easiest programs we've had the pleasure of using. We were skeptical at first due to only knowing two other business' that used it, but we were pleasantly surpised with the ease of use and the amazing features contained.

Cons

The limited sign-ins would be the only draw-back We have several people who access the account and would like a way to track whom makes each change.
