Access People named Core Leader in Fosway 9-Grid for HR

Leicestershire-based Access People has been recognised as a Core Leader in the Fosway 9-GridTM for Cloud HR, marking a significant achievement in the HR solutions market.

The Fosway 9-GridTM is a respected model that assesses companies based on performance, potential, market presence, total cost of ownership, and trajectory. This recognition for Access People demonstrates their contributions to the retail and e-commerce sectors, with notable clients such as N Brown Group, which manages brands like Simply Be and Jacamo.

Megan Weedon, People Manager for Policy Systems and Reward at N Brown Group, stated, "We knew the value of seeking a fully integrated solution so we wouldn't need to input the same data twice, be it for HR or payroll purposes. It was also important for us to find a system that could give us access to our HR data and analytics, in real time, from one source of truth. We knew this insight would provide us with a complete overview of our people to allow us to make better-informed decisions." She added, "Our experience with the Access team has been incredibly positive over the last five years."

Access People's inclusion in the Fosway 9-GridTM as a Core Leader follows a year of client wins and organisational growth. This includes enhancing customer satisfaction, as reflected in the company-wide 4.5 TrustPilot score.

This achievement comes on the heels of Access People's recent technological advancements, specifically the introduction of Access Evo. This AI-enabled platform is designed to integrate seamlessly across the organisation's various products, facilitating enhanced HR processes through innovations such as Copilot, an AI-powered HR Assistant.

Charles Butterworth, Managing Director of the People Division at The Access Group, remarked, "We are proud to once again be included in the Fosway 9-GridTM for Cloud HR, as a Core Leader standing alongside global players in the HR software space. This external validation from Europe's leading analyst group is a testament to our growth over the past financial year, driven by our commitment to innovation, exceptional customer experience, and the strength of our expansive product suite."

He continued, "Now, we are looking ahead to the next financial year with great anticipation, following the launch of Access Evo. We're proud to be able to offer customers the opportunity to leverage AI securely within our HR solutions, enabling them to speed up daily HR tasks, get quick answers to questions and empower their employees to achieve more in the moment. The launch includes powerful embedded people analytics across our HR suites, ready to go, giving customers the ability to focus on driving action and impact in the right areas. Access Evo marks a major milestone in our journey to reshape the future of HR technology."

The endorsement from Fosway Group's CEO and Founder, David Wilson, highlights the significance of Access People's achievements. "In a tight labour market where growth is no longer a guarantee, both productivity and efficiency are paramount," he commented. "A solution that can streamline HR processes as well as improve accuracy and decision making could be the difference, and The Access Group once again show that they are ticking those boxes. Congratulations to them on retaining their position on this year's 9-GridTM for Cloud HR."
