People first is the way to go
Comments: My overall experience had been great. I would recommend this product to any company as it is a well thought out software.
Pros:
I love just about everything. I have been using this program for the last 5 years at my company. Doing my time sheets, taking time off, doing trainings and even checking my performance ratings are all simple. I never have to worry about not finding what I need because everything is easily accessible and labeled clearly. I can find everything in one place without having to use muliple software and have multiple usernames.
Cons:
There isn’t much I can say about not liking this program as I’ve used it here for the last 5 years. Sometime the software goes down and takes awhile to come back up but it doesn’t happen much. Other than that I have no real complaints.

Improved business processes for QMS and employee engagement
Comments:
The People First software and the team at MHR have helped us to streamline and revolutionise our internal processes for Quality Assurance and HR. The product allows for flexibility in its use, and the people behind the product are more than happy to help you find ways to use the system to meet your business needs.
The social side to the product has enabled us to share product information and business updates in a modern way that meets the behaviour of people today, encouraging engagement and interaction between departments.
Pros:
The employee engagement features allow us to share business updates across the company, as well as allowing employees to share insights "from the bottom up". HR processes for managing leave and booking and recording training are streamlined.
Cons:
Some data can not be interrogated within the system and we would like to see additional reports available (data can be exported for use).

People First
Comments: Overall we are very happy with People First. Everyone at MHR is so helpful and so willing to listen to ideas, no matter what it is we ask for or suggest. Working with MHR feels like they are part of our business in some respects and that they have desire for us to be successful by using People First in the best way possible.
Pros:
It has improved our internal communication, given us one central point for team information and allowed us to manage the whole recruitment process using one system
Cons:
It's difficult to pick something that we like least. Some of the options regarding the management of the news feed could be improved

last week
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a software review of People First, Alan. Please continue to share any feedback or ideas for improvement with your account manager and the product team here at MHR, either in your usual channels or on the People First Customer group on LinkedIn. It is so valued. Thanks.

People First Review
Pros:
People First provides us with a platform to bring together our international teams. Now staff all over the world can interact with each other, and better understand each others roles within the organization. The interface and fun and user-friendly which appeals to staff at all levels. People First are constantly making improvements and the communication about these is great.
Cons:
The logic of the system is not always 100% clear to someone that has not worked with the HRMS before. That being said, I have been able to learn to use the system quite quickly with our fantastic implementation partner at People First.
