HR & People Management
Human resources platforms for managing employee records, payroll, leave tracking, and performance reviews. European HR tools store your workforce data within the EU, providing the highest level of protection for the most sensitive category of personal data in your organisation.
What to Look For
GDPR Considerations
HR platforms process the most sensitive personal data in any organisation: employee names, addresses, bank account details, salary information, tax identification numbers, health-related absence records, performance evaluations, disciplinary notes, and diversity data. Under GDPR, much of this data qualifies as special category data requiring enhanced protection. A data breach involving HR records can expose your entire workforce's most private information. When HR data is processed by a US-based platform like BambooHR or Workday, your employees' most sensitive personal information is subject to US jurisdiction and the CLOUD Act. European HR platforms store all employee data exclusively within the EU, comply natively with country-specific employment law requirements, and build GDPR data subject rights directly into their workflows. For organisations with EU employees, this is not just a compliance preference but a duty of care to your workforce.
