FAQs for our Financial Services HR Software

How long does PeopleXD Evo implementation typically take for a financial services firm?

Implementation timelines vary by size and complexity, but our financial services customers typically go live within 6-8 months. The Co-operative Bank completed their full HR and payroll implementation in just 7 months, while Arbuthnot Latham went live in 7 months from contract signing. Our project management approach includes dedicated resources and comprehensive planning to meet your deadlines.

Can PeopleXD Evo handle complex financial services payroll requirements?

Absolutely. We successfully handle complex bonus calculations, commission structures, salary sacrifice schemes, and regulatory pay reporting. The Co-operative Bank saw their payroll queries drop from 800 per month to zero, while Hymans Robertson successfully processed 1,400 annual salary reviews through the system.

What happens to our existing data during migration?

Our project teams perform comprehensive data audits and "deep dive" analysis to identify and resolve any data quality issues before migration. We've successfully migrated complex payroll data mid-tax year (like The Co-operative Bank) and resolved historical data inaccuracies that previous systems had missed.

What level of support can we expect after implementation?

We offer multiple support tiers, including our Premier Customer Success Plan with dedicated Customer Success Managers, named Technical Support Engineers, and FlexPoints for additional services. Our financial services clients consistently praise our partnership approach and responsive support.

What do you offer to support regulatory compliance for financial services?

We have one of the most extensive catalogues of financial services elearning content available in the UK, specific to UK regulated firms. Our CPD-accredited training suite covers all aspects of financial services regulation including Conduct Rules, anti-money laundering, customer due diligence, risk management, consumer fairness and protection, and market integrity. With engaging content, end-of-course assessments, and robust reporting, we ensure compliance across banks, insurance firms, investment companies, mortgage brokers, and other FCA-authorised organisations, providing peace of mind to governing bodies that your staff training and competence requirements are fully met.

Can the system integrate with our existing financial systems?

Yes, through our Access Evo platform, we provide single sign-on access to multiple integrated systems. Clients like Arbuthnot Latham access HR, payroll, learning management, and health & safety systems through one unified platform.

Do you offer managed payroll services as well as software?

Yes, we offer both software and managed payroll services. The Co-operative Bank uses our managed payroll service and achieved zero payroll queries per month (down from 800), while maintaining accuracy above SLAs every month.

How do you handle mid-year implementations?

We have extensive experience with complex mid-year transitions. The Co-operative Bank successfully migrated their payroll mid-tax year without disruption, maintaining complete accuracy throughout the transition period.

What ROI can we expect?

Our financial services clients see significant returns. The Co-operative Bank achieved £1M+ annual savings (40%+ cost reduction), while others report 60% reduction in HR admin tasks. We can also provide personalised ROI reports to help you build your business case.
