Access People joins The Access Group’s existing HR operations with seven recent acquisitions, enabling organisations of any size to improve candidate attraction, employee development, engagement and retention. HR professionals can now provide the very best people experience across their organisations, all from a single vendor.

 

The Access People solutions will soon be made available through Access Workspace, a unified platform that brings together every application from The Access Group into a simple user experience.

 

“With CoreHR, PeopleHR, Safety Media, Payroll Service Company, MicroLearn, Unicorn and Riliance joining the Access family in the last 18 months or so, the possibilities for what we can do for our customers are endless,” said Dean Forbes, president of Access People. “We are bringing the teams and technologies from these companies together with The Access Group’s existing HR-related offerings to become Access People.”

 

Forbes continued: “Access People will provide customers with absolute freedom and flexibility, unparalleled breadth, depth and scalability across all areas of HCM, payroll, learning & development and compliance.”

 

Dean Forbes joined The Access Group in May 2020, when the group acquired CoreHR. In his three years as CEO there, it grew to become one of the foremost HCM technology solutions in the UK and Ireland. Forbes is a dynamic people-leader whose high energy and passion led to him being named one of the UK’s 50 most ambitious business leaders by Lloyds Banking Group.

 

The Access People Launch Event is the start of a four-day feast of HR seminars titled ‘The Power of People,’ the People stream of The Access Group’s brand new ‘Access All Areas’ event.
