Does your Trust have an HR system in place to support your People Strategy?

From our recent surveys, webinar and discussions it is becoming increasingly clear that having a robust People Strategy in place is essential for supporting growth within academy trusts, and having a clear and accurate view of your people is imperative. Surprisingly though, research from our MAT Leaders' Survey 2022 found that two thirds of trusts do not have an HR system in place.

EduPeople is an HR, payroll and pensions system and service specifically designed for the education sector with academy trusts and schools in mind. Giving you an accurate and complete reflection of your people in one place, EduPeople:

• Displays employee information in real-time

• Enhances your strategic decision making through a single view over your workforce

• Automates processes, saving time and money in HR administration

• Integrates with other school business systems, without having to duplicate data entry

Having a complete and accurate view of your people is essential to making informed strategic decisions. EduPeople makes viewing your people data easy from a MAT-wide view all the way through to a single establishment. With EduPeople’s data insights and analytics you can take control of your people data and fully understand key HR trends to form strategic insights. The customisable dashboard feature displays relevant and valuable insights in a series of interactive graphs which link directly to employee records, allowing you to action tasks effortlessly.

Highlighted in our recent MAT Leaders’ Survey Report 2022, the burden of personal admin is increasing. As such, implementing a system that minimises and/or eliminates duplicate data entry and unnecessary admin is a hugely important consideration when trying to address this challenge. EduPeople integrates with multiple other market-leading school systems including MIS, finance software and budgeting tools, and has an extensive list of easily downloadable ‘people’, ‘absence’, ‘structure’ and ‘payroll’ reports. With the EduPeople Premium service we can also take care of all of your pension administration, including uploading reports directly to Teachers’ Pensions and provide your local government pensions with required reporting each month, including end of year returns. Our dedicated Pensions team will answer any queries from the pension providers and complete monthly starters, leavers and changes reports.

EduPeople is not just a system though. The EduPeople team are CIPP and CIPD qualified HR and payroll experts on hand to support you if required. You will also be assigned a dedicated payroll officer. There is also training provided during your transition, in addition to monthly training sessions and regular drop-in sessions post implementation, and access to our library of resources including guides and demonstration videos. The EduPeople team are experts in their area and work with clients to ensure a smooth transition, offering support and guidance through every stage of the journey; from implementation all the way through to the day-to-day running.
