Emberson rolls out people first, the world’s first open people platform across the Group. Designed and developed by people first, a division of MHR International Ltd, the platform helps modern businesses enhance their employee’s experience (EX) of their work life by applying human centred technology and AI to traditional HR functions:

• keeps progress against company and personal objectives on track
• replaces annual out of date appraisals for regular check-ins, anytime, anywhere
• communicates recognition in the moment across the group, so the recognition truly becomes a moment that matters
• gives 360 degree visibility of absence administration
• frees us all from the faff involved with holiday requests and expenses

Most importantly, people first supports employee engagement and the way Emberson works: an open, visible and honest relationship between employee and employer about where we are headed and our individual and organizational purpose / performance / reward.

As Group MD, Clare Pratt explains:

“In 2016, Gallup’s annual Q12 Meta-Analysis study found that companies with highly engaged workforces are 21 percent more profitable than those with poor engagement. As the world of work is getting faster and in some cases more demanding, the people first platform will allow us to embrace hyper personalization [using data to provide more personalized content] in the context of HCM. From our perspective, applying AI technology to free us from the mundane tasks of work life so we have the freedom to focus and be ‘in the flow’ will be an important pillar of our competitive advantage in the future. We are looking forward to the platform’s continued development.”
