Frequently asked questions

What is a personnel system? (Simple HR system)

An HR system is a digital platform that centralizes employee data, documents, and HR tasks in one place. It is typically used to manage master data, contracts, documents, reminders, onboarding, and performance reviews, so that the company no longer has to handle HR tasks in Excel, emails, and shared folders.

What is the difference between Elvium and a larger HRM system?

An HRM system is often a broad term that can encompass many modules, such as performance management, payroll, surveys, recruitment, and workforce planning. A digital HR system is typically more focused and is used to consolidate employee data, documents, and basic HR administration. For many small and medium-sized businesses, a simple HR system is the right first step away from Excel.

When do you need a simple HR system?

A system is typically needed when employee data is scattered across Excel spreadsheets, emails, SharePoint, folders, or various documents. This becomes particularly relevant as the company grows, processes become dependent on specific individuals, and there is a need for greater structure, control, and GDPR-compliant handling of employee data.

Who is a simple HR system suitable for?

A simple HR system is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses that have outgrown Excel but do not yet need a full-scale enterprise HRM system. It is often suitable for companies where HR responsibilities are handled by a single person or shared among HR, management, finance, or the COO.

What types of companies typically choose an employee data system?

It is often companies in the process of digitizing their operations that choose an employee data system. They want better organization, less administrative work, and more secure handling of personnel data—without having to implement a complex HR platform packed with features they don’t need.

How does an HR system help with GDPR?

An HR system helps consolidate employee data in one place and provides better control over where data is stored, who has access to it, and how documents are managed. This makes it easier to comply with GDPR in a more structured way than if data were scattered across Excel spreadsheets, emails, and shared folders.

Can an HR system help with performance reviews and employee documents?

Yes, many HR systems are used to centralize employee documents, notes, follow-ups, and performance review-related information in one place. This makes it easier to approach employee development in a structured way while ensuring that important information isn’t scattered across different locations.

What are the advantages of a simple HR system over a comprehensive HRM system?

The advantage of a simple HR system is that it is faster to implement, easier to understand, and often a much better fit for companies that primarily need structure in their employee data and HR administration. Many companies don’t need overly complex systems, but rather a system that handles the most important tasks simply and efficiently.
