ESS is delighted to announce a new partnership with SAMpeople, the market-leading HR software for schools and trusts.
SAMpeople provides an end-to-end HR management system, which has been designed especially for the education sector. The holistic HR management system allows users to track and store all their critical employee information on one secure platform. It means that employee details, training & CPD information, compliance management, staff absence and HR case management can all be accessed through one portal. Its online employee portal makes it quick and easy for staff to engage online securely, viewing communications, requesting absence and signing documents. It even has a bolt on recruitment module, FACE-Ed, so everything you need to manage your people effectively is all in one place. And, by pulling in all of a school or trust’s relevant information held in SIMS, HR reporting is available at the click of a button.
The partnership will enrich our offer to all of our school and MAT customers and is another strong example of the way we are continuously looking to enhance our customers' SIMS system to help them reach their improvement goals.
“SAMpeople has a fantastic understanding of the HR needs of a school and the complexities of school life”, says the interim sales director at ESS.
“Like SIMS, the SAMpeople system is all about helping to make a school run more smoothly so more time can be spent focusing on the educational needs of its students. The integration of the two systems, made possible by the partnership, will provide greater efficiency and insight for our school and trust customers and we look forward to working with them over the coming years.”
“We have worked incredibly hard with schools and trusts to develop HR software that really meets their needs,” adds Kathryn Birch, Managing Director at SAMpeople.
“The partnership with SIMS – the most widely used MIS for schools across the country – is a real validation of all of the hard work our team of former school business managers, HR specialists, and education software developers have put into making SAMpeople such a strong offer”.
