Why choose Access Education HR software
Reduce administration
Remove bottlenecks and alleviate administrative burdens.
Through a seamless link to SIMs, data only needs entering once in a single staff record. Link your HR and Budgets software so that updates made, such as salary adjustments, are reflected in the budget at the click of a button.
Improve visibility
Analyse information through a suite of over 100 reports.
Reports cover absence, turnover, headcount and more. Reports can be scheduled and emailed automatically to staff members, while bespoke dashboards offer a high level view of trends and performance indicators.
Save money
One teacher off every day of the week for a year can cost around £38,000.
Access makes it easy to manage sickness, spot drops in morale or staff problems before they become bigger issues. Workforce management tools give managers visibility of staff availability to arrange cover for lessons, making schools less reliant on expensive supply teachers.

"Staff can now log in and download their payslips, access holiday requests and log overtime within just a few clicks. Previously this would have been done manually over email and it was incredibly inefficient."
Chief Financial Officer, Deal Education Alliance for Learning Trust
Access Education HR is brilliant, staff across the trust can now login and view information or reports relating to their own school, while those responsible for overseeing the trust have different rights and are able to gain a higher level of visibility.
