altHR vs Swingvy: Which HR System is Better?

‍Disclaimer: As of 1 July 2023, altHR no longer offers a Payroll module.

Introduction

Still going through time-consuming HR processes? Do you still file for expense claims and apply for leaves using paper forms that require approvals via physical signatures? These are outdated HR practices that should be eliminated before venturing beyond HR operations into what matters most, employee engagement. 

HR digitalisation is important as it: 

• Reduces time spent on repetitive, mechanical administrative tasks
• Counting leave balances or tabulating employee’s total expense claims on Excel sheets.
• Allows businesses to focus on improving employee experience and engagement instead. 
  

And more!
