Employee Management
Employee management is used to describe two activities that have almost nothing in common, which is why advice on it is often useless.
One is managing people. Setting expectations, giving feedback, noticing workload, having difficult conversations. It is done by managers, it is a capability, and no system improves it.
The other is managing the record. Employment terms, hours, leave, training, policies, incidents and everything an employer is required to hold. It is administration, it is largely rule-based, and a system improves it enormously.
Organisations regularly try to fix the first by buying something that fixes the second, then conclude the software failed.
Be clear about which of the two problems you actually have. If your managers avoid difficult conversations, no employee management system on the market will change that for you.
The Fair Work Ombudsman covers employee record obligations. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
