Put your people front and centre

Play by the rules

  • Make employees aware of relevant conduct rules, and explain what happens if the rules are breached, even before employees' first day with our onboarding portal. Employees can show that they understand and accept the conduct rules via Ciphr HR’s policy acceptance functionality and electronic signature integrations (with third-party software from trusted providers such as DocuSign and Adobe Sign)
  • You can test employees’ knowledge of the conduct rules, and ensure that they are as knowledgeable as possible, by providing training content on the rules through Ciphr LMS
  • Ciphr's in-built HR case management functionality helps firms track and report any breaches of the conduct rules

Help people feel valued

Show employees the total value of their salary and benefits package at any time by using Ciphr HR’s total reward statement.

The statement presents basic salary, employer pension contributions, company car allowance, private medical insurance, and the value of any other quantifiable benefits. It can also include other benefits that are not easily quantified in financial terms

Get added value from reporting

Added value reporting

Ciphr HR’s reporting functionality can help financial services firms make better, more timely and informed decisions. Report on all employee data held in our HR software and any linked systems and save time on manual data collation.

Ciphr’s gender pay gap reporting functionality also provides you with the reports you need to meet the UK government’s reporting requirements (mandatory for organisations with more than 250 employees).

“The total reward statements show employees there is more to reward than the basic salary. It’s a really good tool that helps them to see the broader picture.”

Feel confident with GDPR compliant tools

Ciphr HR contains a number of tools to help you more easily comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
With the data retention dashboard, you can define the data retention periods for staff and volunteers who leave your organisation and identify records that are approaching the end of their data-retention period and then take appropriate action (deletion, anonymisation, or request consent extension).

Under the GDPR, individuals have the right to submit subject access requests (SARs) to organisations to find out what data they hold about them. With Ciphr HR, you can choose to manually reactivate access to our offboarding module for an alumnus so they can securely view and download the personal data your organisation holds about them, in response to a SAR. Ciphr HR can also help you respond to SARs from current staff.

Ahead of the financial curve

Help keep your employees up to speed with any changes in the financial markets using Ciphr LMS – a single, self-service platform for all your learning content.

You can help staff improve their knowledge and give them the skills they need to succeed while carrying out financial work online.

Easily incorporate a variety of useful eLearning courses from Marshall E-Learning, now part of Ciphr Group, into your LMS and ensure your employees are well-versed in everything from diversity and inclusion to compliance, health and safety, and more.
