There is no need to search link one by one. > > **Cons**: The least is reminders of due projects can be annoying most times. > > I would recommend this software especially when managing a team of 20+ as it definitely adjusts schedule and performance metrics on par. A great software for busy schedules, setup reminders and projects are on daily notices via linked email. ----- ### "HR Officer" — 4.0/5 > **Azzaya** | *12 May 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using ELMO for the last 2 years. We started with HR core and extended it to recruitment, onboarding, and other modules. We keep extending through other HR functions, and we are now in discussion of having ELMO analytics, reward, and recognition. I also love to see improvements and changes through various modules. > > **Cons**: We realised that some data not transferable from ELMO HR Core to ELMO Payroll > > I find ELMO as great product and enjoy using the system. Our team attended the events like "Unlocking potential: Be Future Ready with ELMO" and loved their update and engagement with their customers. ----- ### "Head of People and Culture" — 3.0/5 > **Caroline** | *4 April 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Onboarding and Performance modules are the only good modules we have used in ELMO > > **Cons**: There is no option to save pdf's or other documents (emails) in employee's profile , believe it or not, so we have to compile employee files separately which defeats the purpose for the system . After many conversations with our account manager there has been no definitive timeframe to rectify this huge problem. Also the salary doesn't automatically feed to key pay (our payroll system) , so we have to add the salary in both ELMO and our payroll system separately . Setting up ELMO has been complicated. When sending pay or leave related emails the link doesn't work. Again no timeframe to rectifying this problem. > > I don't feel we have what we were sold. We moved from Employment Hero which I feel was simple and intuitive had all the basic features and was a better system for core HR , however not for onboarding or performance. ----- ### "The ELMO Experience\!" — 4.0/5 > **Caterina** | *25 March 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to publicly recommend employees and rewards them. Its nice to see such a strong rewards program and seeing people acknowledge every ones efforts. > > **Cons**: I wish they had instant push notifications instead of emails, as I do think we are in an era wear people respond to push notifications more often. > > Overall the support has been good in our journey. We are still very early days so have a lot to learn but it has been a fun experience learning along the way ----- ### "Confusing feedback on module test/assessment" — 4.0/5 > **Ella** | *6 January 2023* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The module is clear, straightforward and provides key information supported with relevant visuals to enhance understanding especially if you are not a non-native speaker of English. Navigation is easy and and progress is recorded and indicated accurately. > > **Cons**: I just used the learning module as a required training path from my employer. In one of the tests' questions, I made a wrong choice and scored 75% in my first trial. As feedback is provided immediately, I can see what the correct option is. So I went back and tried it again, choosing the right option as suggested by the feedback from the software. When I did so, my answer was still wrong. So I tried the third time, using my original answer, and it's still wrong. And I tried it again the fourth time using the suggested correct answer, and it's still wrong anyway. I've tried numerous times and now got confused. To be fair, my original answer would to some extent be right as no indication in the modul that the reading would lead to choosing the other options. Given it is a training module, and all information should be made in reasonable ways to allow readers to make intended conclusion or to assume the intended understanding, when the answers or options are hard to guess from the reading, I think the module needs further checking for content validation and construct reliability so the modul test is relevant to the module content. IMHO.
