HR software with attendance, recruitment and AI included.

Sense HR (part of Sense Workplace) is a modern HR system that gives you the power of AI and automation to help you get more done, make smarter decisions, and connect HR with operations. Unlike traditional HR systems that simply digitise your HR information, SenseHR collects additional data and helps you learn from it — for example, real-time location information about your people helps you understand movement patterns, team dynamics and task completion rates. And because SenseHR does not require you to give employees laptops or mobile phones, it's perfect for large, dispersed workforces who don't have fixed workstations.

Yes. Sense HR is scalable and flexible, with no minimum team size and no long contracts.

• Small businesses benefit from low pricing and out-of-the-box features.
• Mid-sized companies enjoy browsing our huge library of workflows and AI agents to help them scale their department without increasing headcount.
• Larger enterprises enjoy fully customisable workflows and automations, deep data analytics, and the ability to track the exact location of people and things, even on their busiest front lines.

Sense is suitable for all organisations, from office workers to mobile workforces, but is especially well-suited to busy organisations with dispersed workers.

As well as providing advanced AI and automation tools for managing your workforce, sense.hr lets you manage a wide range of traditional HR functions, including:

• Core HR admin and digital employee records — see our HR essentials
• Absence, holiday and sickness tracking — see holidays and events
• Time and attendance tracking — see our range of solutions
• Recruitment (ATS), onboarding and offboarding — see our ATS
• Performance management, 1-to-1s and reviews — see performance
• Expense tracking and custom approval workflows — see other HR automations
• Document storage, e-signatures and compliance audits — see documents
• Smart location-based features and real-time workforce visibility — see Presence

SenseHR (part of Sense Workplace) is the only HR software that provides accurate, real-time location technology for your workforce. It's also the only HR system purpose-built to include busy, deskless workers and frontline staff who may not have access to company laptops, email addresses, or even mobile phones.

Here are some of the key features of Sense HR you'll struggle to find in other systems:

• Accurate indoor location of people and things — improve operational visibility, find people or things quickly, and discover how your spaces are being used.
• Include the staff other systems forget — built to be just as effective for busy frontline staff or deskless workers, with no need for laptops, phones or emails.
• Completely customisable workflows — design your own automations to work exactly how your business processes run, with our no-code workflow builder.
• AI assistance and analytics — ask AI to perform tasks on your behalf, or get advanced breakdown and analysis of large data sets for more useful insights.

Yes. Sense HR is powered by a highly flexible workflow engine that adapts to how your teams actually work. Choose from pre-built workflows and automations, or build your own — automating tasks, reminders, approvals or any process that helps you run your business. This helps growing businesses scale without increasing admin load.

Yes. All good HR systems need an equally good employee self-service area, and Sense HR is no exception. Employees and managers can log in via their laptop, tablet or mobile app — or, for those without devices they can use for work, via badges, wall-mounted consoles or other tools.

Employees can self-serve to complete actions such as:

• Request holidays, log absences and submit expenses
• Clock in/out
• Update personal info
• Check and sign documents
• Mark tasks as complete

You can also create your own self-serve systems for things like clocking in — for example, adding a Sense Clock to your reception area and letting employees scan their cards on entry, or adding a Sense Gateway to your wall, which automatically detects who is inside or outside your work zones.

Performance management is one of the many things managers use SenseHR for. It's up to you what access to give them and how your processes should work, but many managers use Sense HR to:

• Run structured 1-to-1s
• Approve holiday leave
• Track tasks and set targets
• Manage performance across dispersed teams
• Find and redeploy staff members

Admins can customise permissions, set approval rules, create custom screens, set up org charts, share data with payroll, and much more.

Yes. Sense.hr includes export feeds and integrations for payroll systems like Sage and Xero, and also supports custom integrations and open APIs with other third parties. You can even use Sense Automate to connect two totally different systems to each other, with Sense as the go-between.

SenseHR is built with many native integrations including clock machines, wearable devices, ID cards and more — read more about our integrations here.

This partly depends on the size of your organisation, the complexity of customisation you require, and the number of capabilities you wish to implement. However, as a general rule, implementation is fast, guided by UK-based experts, and often free of setup fees.

SenseHR is suitable for any organisation that needs to manage people or people admin. However, unlike some systems which are primarily designed for office workers, Sense HR is especially valuable for industries with large teams of mobile, dispersed or deskless workers, such as:

• Facilities management
• Care homes and healthcare providers
• Field services
• Construction and engineering
• Logistics and transportation
• Hospitality and catering
• Retail and wholesale

From a practical point of view, Sense technology is designed to include people who don't have desks, cannot access computers, or for whom mobile phones are inappropriate in the workplace. And from a technical perspective, users don't need company email addresses or even phone numbers to be registered to use the system — our technology is designed to be highly inclusive, making our HR and location technology especially useful for organisations other tech providers tend to forget.

HR software (also called HRIS, HRMS or HCM software) helps businesses manage employee data, automate processes like onboarding or time tracking, and improve compliance and performance. It replaces spreadsheets and manual tasks with digital workflows that save time and reduce errors.

There's no single leader globally, as each HR system tends to offer something slightly different, so it depends on what you need. However, some of the most popular HR platforms include Workday, Bamboo, HiBob, ADP and Breathe. Sense HR is an increasingly popular option, especially amongst UK employers, but also with those who have dispersed, global teams — we have 1,000+ companies using our software, supported by our team of UK-based HR software experts who have all been working in the industry for many years.

Sense HR takes data security seriously, both from the perspective of how we treat your data as our customer, and how we help you handle your own workforce data.

With Sense HR, you can rest assured that you'll get:

• Unlimited secure document storage
• GDPR-compliant data handling
• Audit logs and access controls
• E-signatures and compliance reminders

We are also ISO 27001 accredited, and our AI features operate in secure, closed environments — meaning your data is never used outside of your own instance of Sense Workplace, and never shared for AI training purposes. The entire system is designed to meet stringent privacy standards.

SenseHR supports you in your quest for compliance by offering ways to complete right-to-work checks, document verification and e-signatures, complete with a verifiable audit trail. We also send automatic reminders for compliance deadlines and help ensure you stay GDPR compliant via secure storage and access logs. Our HR software comes packed with audit-ready reporting tools, and plenty of features to help you reduce risk, stay compliant and avoid fines.
