FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is HR reporting software?

HR reporting software is designed to help organisations collect, analyse, and present workforce data in a meaningful way. Instead of relying on manual spreadsheets, HR teams can use HR reporting tools to create clear reports and visuals that highlight important trends such as absence levels, turnover, and recruitment effectiveness. A strong HR insights tool like Sense HR makes it easier to demonstrate the value of HR, communicate with leadership, and track progress over time.

Can Sense HR generate real-time HR analytics?

Yes. Sense HR acts as a real-time HR analytics platform, providing one-click reports and interactive dashboards that instantly update with the latest information. This means HR leaders and managers always have current insights at their fingertips, rather than relying on outdated or manually prepared reports. With this level of responsiveness, decisions can be made with confidence and based on accurate, up-to-date data. And if you use Sense Presence, you’ll also help your ops teams to understand the location of each individual in real-time, for more effective redeployment, and a rapid response to emergencies.

Does Sense HR support AI-driven HR insights?

Yes. Sense HR includes AI-powered features that make it more than just traditional HR reporting software system. Our in-built AI assistant “Ami” can answer questions about your data, for example. As a modern HR analytics software platform, Sense HR allows you to ask questions in plain language, generate documents, and surface hidden patterns in your workforce data. By combining AI with people analytics software, Sense HR helps HR teams and business leaders discover insights they might otherwise miss.

Can Sense HR reports be customised?

Absolutely. With Sense HR, you’re not limited to standard templates. You can design and save unlimited custom queries and reports that fit your organisation’s unique needs. This flexibility makes it one of the best HR reporting software options for small businesses as well as larger organisations. Whether you need a compliance-focused report, a detailed look at recruitment, or department-specific analysis, you can build it directly in the system.

Can I customise my HR dashboards?

Yes. Sense HR gives you the ability to build customisable HR dashboards for managers and HR leaders, ensuring that every audience sees the information most relevant to them. These HR dashboards can highlight key metrics, track performance, or provide a high-level overview of workforce trends. For businesses looking to empower managers with data-driven decision-making, having flexible dashboards like these is an essential part of HR software reporting.

Does reporting integrate with other HR modules?

Yes. Reporting in Sense HR works across all areas of the system, so you can combine data from recruitment, onboarding, performance, absence, and more. In fact, it can integrate with the rest of the Sense Workplace platform, meaning you can connect HR data with your ATS, your operations data, staff or asset location data, employee timesheet data, and more. This integrated approach turns the reporting function into a true HR insights tool, as well as helping you connect the dots between different functions, and different stages of the employee lifecycle. By drawing on information from every HR process, the reports you generate are complete, consistent, and actionable.

How does HR reporting software improve decision-making?

HR reporting software improves decision-making by turning raw workforce data into clear, visual insights. When paired with advanced HR analytics software capabilities, it highlights patterns, tracks KPIs, and makes it easy to spot risks or opportunities. For example, HR reporting tools might reveal that high turnover is linked to a particular department or that absence spikes at certain times of year. By having this information readily available, organisations can make proactive, evidence-based choices that improve both people outcomes and business performance.

How secure is the HR reporting software?

Security is central to any HR software reporting system. Sense HR is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and built with strong protections such as encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and detailed audit logs. The system also keeps AI features private, so your data is never used outside your own environment. This ensures HR dashboards, reports, and analytics remain safe, giving organisations complete confidence in how their sensitive workforce data is handled.

What is an HR reporting system?

An HR reporting system is the backbone of HR reporting software – it gathers data, processes it, and presents it in a way that is useful to decision-makers. A modern system also serves as people analytics software, going beyond simple reports to provide interactive dashboards, real-time insights, and AI-driven analysis. With Sense HR, this system is fully integrated, meaning HR leaders don’t need to work the numbers separately – they can see trends, connections, and meaningful workforce insights from one central workplace platform.

What is the best software for reporting?

The best software for reporting depends on your organisation’s goals and size. Some companies need highly advanced people analytics software, while others want straightforward HR reporting tools that save time and reduce admin when answering repetitive HR data questions. Sense HR strikes a balance by offering customisation for larger organisations, plus a selection of pre-built reports for those who just want to get quick answers to common queries.
