“It has been a revelation…elevating us to a more professional and slicker business.” Mike Derbyshire, MD, J&K Confectionery.
In recent years the UK has seen an unmistakeable shift towards SMEs adopting cloud-based HR solutions, with well over half now estimated to be using this technology.
As an independent, founder-led HR software provider, developing our own HR system from scratch since 2018, we focus on creating everyday business software that people actually enjoy – affordable HR tech solutions that help teams perform their daily admin more effectively.
Easy, Secure, Fun
We founded WorkSmarter to create a fresh, flexible HR platform for growing businesses, one that’s easy, secure and fun to use but also fits the way so many of us now work.
Getting to know our customers is one of the best parts of the job and, with 9,600 organisations already signed up to our services, we aim to build a strong partnership from that first point of contact.
Our software is dynamic, which means we’re constantly innovating with new features and building on more capability in response to the needs of our users.
It’s all about what you want and need to manage your people and grow your business.
Whether you’re new to HR tech, or searching for alternative software due to the limitations of your present package, routine people tasks can be performed more effectively with the right system.
Lighten The Load
When resources are at a premium, as they often are for smaller companies, bringing in the right software can lighten the load. This drives productivity and growth, helping SMEs become more competitive.
Taking the first step towards using any product is all about research, and that starts with hearing the views of genuine customers. So we asked a few of our users, selected to represent SMEs of all sizes and sectors, for their evaluation:
Affordability and ease of use:

“To have holidays, sickness recording, HR documentation and onboarding process in one place is superb.” Mike Derbyshire, MD, J&K Confectionery.
Productivity and growth:
“Implementing WorkSmarter is easy, with efficiency gains from day one. We wouldn’t recommend something that we don’t use ourselves.” Louise Skittrall, Founder and Lead HR Consultant, Robinson Grace.

Onboarding:
“This has been an absolute game changer as it’s so quick and easy to set up and use.” David Watts, MD, Premier Sports Network.
