What Is EMPRESS HR

MORE THAN
HR & PAYROLL

EMPRESS stands for Employee Productivity Escalation System. It is a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) that supports many companies and locations, and it does more than HR and payroll: it manages employees and their daily work.

Employee records, attendance, movement, leave, conveyance, payroll, performance and recruitment all run in one system, on your own policies. HR teams save time, and managers see what needs their attention today.

EMPRESS HR is developed by Azolution Software & Engineers Ltd in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
