Cezanne HR

Cezanne HR is a flexible and modern HR and payroll platform built to help growing companies streamline people processes. When we describe it as “professional-grade,” we mean it’s designed to go beyond basic admin tools, offering reliable, scalable features that support HR teams in running smooth, compliant, and people-focused operations. It automates everyday admin tasks like managing employee records, onboarding, time off, and payroll, so HR teams can focus more on strategy and engagement. With its modular approach, Cezanne HR allows organisations to choose only the tools they need, and add more as they grow, making it both scalable and cost-efficient. 

This platform is especially strong in the UK and is designed with mid-sized, multi-location businesses in mind. It supports multi-language and multi-currency operations, helping teams operate confidently across borders. 

Cezanne HR is Perfect For:

• Growing Businesses that want a professional-grade HR system without enterprise-level cost or complexity.
• International Teams looking for built-in multi-language and multi-currency features.
• HR Teams Moving from Manual Processes and needing to simplify and improve accuracy across employee records and reporting.

Key Features and Functionalities: 

• Recruitment & Onboarding: Cezanne HR offers a central place to manage recruitment workflows, from posting roles to reviewing applicants and scheduling interviews. Once someone is hired, they’re seamlessly onboarded using automated workflows that reduce admin and help new joiners feel supported from day one.

• Customisable Portals & Workspaces: HR can create personalised dashboards and portals for different employee groups. These can include access to self-service tools, key documents, performance reviews, leave management, and an interactive newsfeed to share updates and celebrate milestones.

• Career and Succession Planning: Visual tools help HR identify talent gaps, track high-potential employees, and plan for future roles. You can align employee goals with business needs and track progress against career development milestones. 

• Form Builder and Workflow Automation: With a simple drag-and-drop interface, HR can create digital forms for everything from onboarding to policy acknowledgements. These forms can include validation rules, approval paths, and permissions to protect sensitive data. Forms can also be embedded into wider HR workflows. 

• UK Payroll Integration: Cezanne’s in-house payroll solution is HMRC and RTI compliant and built specifically for the UK market. Payslips and tax documents like P60s and P11Ds are accessible via employee self-service. Built-in compliance checks and automated updates from HMRC help reduce payroll errors.

• Integrations: Cezanne HR offers integration with third-party systems such as benefits platforms, time tracking, background screening, and more. Many of these connections use open APIs*, which means data flows automatically between systems. This helps HR teams reduce duplicate entry and save time. 

Ease of Use 

Cezanne HR has a clean, intuitive interface that most HR teams and employees will find easy to navigate. It’s designed to simplify common HR tasks while still offering enough flexibility for more advanced users. Although setup may require some technical input, especially if you’re building out multiple modules, Cezanne provides clear guidance, support, and training resources to help get you up and running. 

The Benefits 

• Increased Efficiency through automation of HR admin and workflows.
• Enhanced Employee Experience with self-service and personalised portals.
• Scalable and Adaptable as your business evolves and your needs change.
• Data-driven insights through custom dashboards and built-in reporting

Why Choose Cezanne HR? 

Cezanne HR strikes a balance between powerful functionality and ease of use. It’s ideal for mid-sized and growing businesses that want a system with the depth to handle real HR complexity, like workflows, compliance, and succession planning, without needing a full-scale enterprise solution. 

When we say it avoids the “bulk of an enterprise system,” we mean it doesn’t require large implementation teams or come with unnecessary complexity. Instead, it gives HR professionals the tools to lead confidently, with the right level of support and flexibility to scale as your organisation evolves. 

Limitations: 

Lattice may not be ideal for large enterprises with highly complex structures or global compliance requirements, as the system can be too limited in those areas. While it’s user-friendly once up and running, the initial setup – particularly when configuring custom portals or integrations- can be challenging without technical support. Additionally, for small startups with very simple HR needs, Lattice may feel overly complex and more feature-rich than necessary.

*An API (Application Programming Interface) is a secure bridge that allows different software systems to talk to each other. For HR teams, that means less manual data entry, fewer errors, and more connected systems.
