The HR Focus system is very easy to use with well planned, easy to follow menus, neat logical capture and inquiry screens, on-line help facilities and concise user-friendly manuals. Modules within HR Focus include Management Information, Employee Records and History, Recruitment and Decision Support, Leave Administration, Position Description, Industrial Relations, Performance Assessments, Training and Skills Development, HR Policies, Manpower, Equity Planning, and Payroll Administration. All of these modules are integrated and share a common database.
The HR Focus system has been designed locally for easy compliance with local legislation requirements and addresses employer`s needs to report on the following legislation: The Basic Conditions of Employment Act, The Labour Relations Act, The Skills Development Bill, and the Employment Equity act.
This total HR Focus system is innovative, first-of-its-kind, user friendly and can be implemented within a short time frame. Carol Robertson, managing director of HR Focus says, "We have been successfully providing solutions to both large and small companies within South Africa for the past 13 years. We understand the many onerous tasks within a HR department, the completion of which is necessary in order to comply with fast changing legislative requirements. We compete directly with imported solutions, but with a noticeably favourable price differentation. We offer companies a more focused South African market specific solution which rivals all other aspects of internationally developed programs - with the local elements providing our unique edge."
There are currently over 60 sites using the HR Focus product; companies with employee numbers ranging from 100 to 35000, including Pick `n Pay, PUTCO, Amcoal, PAG, Kelly, Colgate Palmolive, Foskor, Lever Brothers Zimbabwe, Astra-Zeneca, Moregro, Nampak, as well as 8 sites in Australia

HR is all about people, managing the human element, supporting this most valued asset, utilising a resource which represents the source of all innovative and creative ideas. Managing this aspect through information technology has become a challenge for system developers around the world. HR Focus has come up with the perfect local solution.
