HCM Software

HCM software is a suite of applications supporting human capital management activities. It may combine core HR, payroll, recruitment, learning, performance and workforce analytics.

Example

An employer uses one platform to move an accepted candidate into the employee record and assign onboarding and learning tasks after joining.

What to keep in mind

An integrated suite can still contain separate data models and configuration gaps. Verify how modules exchange information and whether local payroll, privacy and accessibility requirements are supported.
