About Us
PeopleWeek was created in 2016 with the vision of offering organisations a very different type of HR software than the traditional solutions. There were 3 main drivers. Firstly, we wanted our platform to be engaging, not just an administrative tool. We achieved this by making it both an HR and a collaboration software. Secondly, we wanted to build a solution that combines the benefits of a customised software and an off-the shelf solution. We achieved this by designing innovative system architecture. Thirdly, we wanted to be a one-stop-shop for all HR and collaboration processes so that we could offer our clients a complete, yet user-friendly and affordable, solution. We achieved this by developing a rich suite of à la carte modules.
PeopleWeek has more than 25 modules and the platform is designed by a team that comprises HR and software design professionals. We also partner very closely with our clients to build new features. Whilst being proudly Swiss in terms of the quality of our products and customer support, we are an international solution and have country-specific configurations to meet the legal requirements in different jurisdictions (including for payroll).
Today our customers represent about 20 different sectors – including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, media, and retail – and our users span every continent.
Our original 3 drivers remain unchanged. They continue to guide us as we develop and grow.
During the design phase of the implementation, PeopleWeek can provide expertise in the following areas:
- Digital transformation and adoption
- HR compliance (payroll, tax, accounting)
- Design of performance systems
- Design of rewards and benefits
- HR data management, analytics, and reporting
- Optimization of HR processes
- Data protection and data privacy
- International mobility
- International and Swiss payroll accounting
- Organisational design
Our Mission
PeopleWeek’s mission is to help organisations grow by simplifying people management, automating HR and payroll administration, improving productivity and fostering employee collaboration. We believe in agile, smart and user-friendly functionality so our clients can focus on running their business rather than running an IT system.
Our Vision
PeopleWeek wants to transform the HR technology landscape internationally for medium-sized organisations, giving our clients access to tools that until now were beyond their reach due to costs and complexity.
FAQs
Where are your servers?
All PeopleWeek servers are hosted in top tier data centres in Switzerland.
How often do you back up your customers’ data?
Back-ups are performed daily, and the retention default period is one month. However, customers can request longer retention periods at an additional charge.
Where do you store the data?
Customer data is stored on servers in Switzerland.
Do you have a fall-back data center service?
Yes, PeopleWeek offers a fall-back data center, which is also located in Switzerland.
Can I select which modules to buy?
Yes. Only the HCM module (the “People” module) is obligatory. All other modules are optional. You only pay for the modules you use. You can also add modules over time as your organisation’s needs evolve.
What is included in the license fees?
License fees include software licenses, hosting, back-up, support, and upgrades.
How long does an implementation take?
It depends on the complexity of the implementation (e.g. number of modules, number of entities, the size of the employee population, integrations with third party platforms) and the quality of your existing people data. In general, a simple implementation takes 4 to 8 weeks and a complex implementation 12 to 16 weeks.
What will be my domain URL?
PeopleWeek clients can choose their own prefix (using the PeopleWeek domain URL).
Can I customise the software?
PeopleWeek is Software as a Service (SaaS). This approach means that the system’s core design and configuration are standardized (despite there being many configurability options), thereby making deployments and new releases easy for our customers as no testing is needed on their end.
Can I set a preferred language as a default language for the whole organisation?
Yes, this is very easy to do. In addition, each user can select their preferred user interface language. PeopleWeek is currently available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Is there a free or trial version?
PeopleWeek offers trial access to qualified prospective clients, allowing you to explore the platform through a pre-configured environment covering the modules relevant to your needs. This trial instance is designed to give you a clear, hands-on understanding of how the system works, with no obligation to proceed. Where relevant, we can tailor certain elements – such as entities and departments – to better reflect your organisation. Should you decide to move forward, the platform is then designed to match your specific requirements, workflows, and processes as part of the implementation phase.
Does PeopleWeek have a mobile app?
Yes. PeopleWeek has a mobile app for iOS and Android.
Does PeopleWeek allow customisation of colours and logos?
Yes. Our clients’ user interface is customisable with their logo and colour. Configurations can also be different by entity if required.
What is configurable at an entity level?
Most functionalities can be configured at an entity level. This means that PeopleWeek is a very flexible platform for organisations with multiple entities that have different HR practices.
