Top HR management software for South African businesses
With employees being one of the most important aspects of any business, companies often spend large sums of money managing their human resources (HR).
Several cloud-based human capital management (HCM) software packages are available to businesses in South Africa, with some of the best coming from Monday.com, Oracle, Workday, QuickBooks, and Genesys.
Companies around the globe often spend significant amounts on HR staff and other HCM-related processes.
According to Gartner, most HR functions spend between $1,350 (R24,000) and $3,800 (R68,000) per employee each year.
To put this into perspective, a company with around 100 employees can spend between $135,000 (R2.4 million) and $380,000 (R6.8 million) yearly on HCM-related processes.
These cloud-based HR products help businesses reduce costs, improve data security, streamline payroll and talent management, and allow users to connect from anywhere.
They generally include core HR functionality, analytics, machine learning-powered skills development, and payroll solutions.
Some of the top HR management software packages available to South African businesses are listed below.
Monday.com work management
Monday.com’s work management software offers a range of benefits to help businesses, including the ability to view all HR-related processes and documents from a single dashboard.
It provides a detailed overview of inter-departmental human resources processes and a business’s recruitment workflow.
“View the entire hiring process in a high-level dashboard, from candidate to hire,” Monday.com states.
The dashboard lets businesses manage and collaborate on HR documents, helping them centralise employee information.
Monday.com offers several subscription tiers for its work management software, ranging from free to $16 (R290) per seat per month.
It doesn’t provide pricing for its enterprise-level subscription and requests that interested companies contact its sales department.

QuickBooks Time
QuickBooks Time is time management software that provides simple timesheets, mobile time tracking, customisable reports, and team management features.
The software supports integration with accounting and payroll systems to enable more efficient payroll and invoicing.

QuickBooks says its time management software is relevant to all industries.
“Get time tracking software for construction, landscaping, home healthcare, and more. No matter how big or small,” it states.
Workday
Workday’s human resource management products use machine learning to suggest tasks and select and organise learning for employees.
It offers solutions for all types of workers, including full-time, part-time, hourly, contingent, and contract workers, while helping businesses get to grips with their employees’ needs.
Some of Workdays’ key human capital management features include:
- Talent management
