“edays workflow builder has been a great addition to a system that was already saving us time and simplifying our processes at Lloyd Ltd. The new feature automates many more of the processes we were doing manually such as reminding employees of their remaining entitlement and tracking sickness levels. Not only does it massively speed up these processes, it means that it frees up the time of our HR department to focus on other tasks.”

“I have used edays in my previous HR role, when I introduced it to our team, and found that the system was very easy to use and the support team super responsive. This meant that when I moved to my new role and realised we needed a system to manage annual leave and absence – selecting edays was a no-brainer. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any business or HR professional when in need of a straightforward and easy to use system that looks and feels great.”
