How MHR supports further education colleges

Manage contracts and records

Keep employee records, contracts, absences, performance information and key workforce data together. Connected information helps HR teams reduce administration, improve data accuracy and maintain a clearer view of employees throughout their time at the college.

Support safeguarding checks

Manage pre-employment checks, Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) information and Single Central Record data through connected workflows. This helps teams keep safeguarding information accurate and support consistent processes.

Report on workforce and pay information

Use education-focused dashboards and reports to monitor workforce trends, analyse costs and support planning. MHR can also support the Further Education Workforce Data Collection, subject to the required configuration and reporting process.

Enable staff self-service

Give employees and managers access to relevant information, everyday HR tasks and development resources. Self-service can reduce routine administration and give people a more direct way to manage information throughout the employee lifecycle.

Extend your platform as needs change

Start with the capabilities your college needs today and add recruitment, talent, workforce management, learning and finance capabilities as priorities change, without replacing the core platform.
