Welcome back to TOOLiee, your mid-week HR booster.

HR today isn’t just about managing leave balances or running payroll - it’s about being the strategic backbone of the company. The right tools free HR from the grind so they can focus on people, culture, and growth.

This week’s spotlight is on HRone, a platform built to simplify HR end-to-end while putting employee experience at the center.

📌 TOOLiee’s Fun Fact Corner

Did you know? In 2018, a Gartner study found that HR professionals spent over 40% of their time on admin tasks. Fast forward to today—modern HRMS tools have slashed that by half, giving HR leaders more time to focus on strategy.

Even more fun: According to a study by Jacob Morgan, companies that actively measure and invest in employee experience are 4.2x more profitable. HRMS tools aren’t just about saving time - they directly impact the bottom line.
