HR software for schools and trusts
Giving you complete control of school and trust-wide HR
For schools and trusts, successful HR management is about supporting your people – but it’s also about driving improvement.
Every HR is a powerful yet flexible system designed for schools and trusts. Whether you need end-to-end HR management or a more focused solution, every module is connected, customisable, and managed from a single screen.
And with Every HR’s level of oversight, leaders finally have the data and trust-wide functionality to make smarter, data-led decisions and drive positive change.
Integrate payroll with Every HR
A single HR and payroll solution
Whether you use our in-house software solution Every Payroll By IRIS or rely on our fully-managed payroll service IRIS Payroll Services, you can connect your payroll and HR systems so they work as one seamless system.
For example, changes made to employee details in Every HR are automatically reflected in your payroll system – there’s no need to manually re-enter or submit the same information.
Improve the accuracy of your payroll solution and make changes across the entire system – all via your Every HR interface.
Integrate HR with payroll, finance and data analysis
HR is at the heart of school or trust management – it makes sense that your school HR system works together with key functions like payroll and financial management.
Every HR is designed to connect seamlessly with systems like these. This saves you time, improves system-wide accuracy, helps uphold compliance, and gives you more data to play with.
Here are some of the vital systems Every HR can team up with…
-
Payroll
Whether you want to run your payroll in-house with Every Payroll, or use our fully managed payroll and pensions solution, you can reduce manual entry, save time and improve accuracy with our fully integrated solutions.
“An employee changes their bank details in their Every HR self-service portal. The data is automatically pulled through to Every Payroll, ensuring correct payment on payday.”
-
Data analytics
If you’re a leader within a multi-academy trust, you can plug data from your Every HR system into IRIS Central, allowing you to overlay data from multiple systems for unique insights.
“Using trust-wide HR data, you notice one of your school’s English departments is performing poorly in pupil outcomes. Drilling deeper, you spot lower-than-average engagement with training. With this insight, you can take action to reverse this trend.”
