Employee Management Software Popular Features

Employee Management Software Industry Market Analysis

Since we published our website in February of 2008, we have been collecting data on those who have completed our HRIS Selection Tool surveys. I realized early on this data would be helpful for both our employee management software vendors and our site’s visitors for understanding which options and features of employee management software the market is most interested in. Each Quarter, we offer a comprehensive report for our vendors with statistics for each question we ask in the survey. Here’s a snapshot of the results.
