Employee Management Software Industry Market Analysis

Since we published our website in February of 2009 we have been collecting data on those who have completed our
HRIS Selection Tool surveys. I realized early on this data would be helpful for both our employee management software
vendors and our sites visitors for understanding which options and features of employee management software the market is
most interested in. Each Quarter, we offer a comprehensive report for our vendors with statistics for each question we ask in
the survey. Heres a snapshot of the results.
