Many small hospices think HR software is too expensive or complicated. In reality modern platforms built for care providers deliver enterprise features at a fraction of the cost and improve your staff’s day-to-day experience. Evalu-8 HR is an all-in-one workforce management platform designed for UK hospices that combines Core HR features, rota scheduling and Time & Attendance into a single, easy-to-use system. Here we explain why budget need not stand in the way and how you can streamline staff and volunteer management without hidden fees or lengthy rollouts.
Why Size Should Not Limit You
Even teams with under ten staff and a small volunteer pool face the same challenges as larger hospices: juggling shifts, tracking training, reconciling timesheets and reporting for funders. Manual spreadsheets and standalone tools introduce errors, delays and extra work. An all-in-one platform built for hospices ensures consistency, accuracy and compliance from day one.
Transparent Pricing, No Surprises
Too often vendors hide fees and tack on surprise add-ons. Evalu-8 HR uses a transparent per-licence model: start with Core HR and add Rota Management or Time & Attendance as needed, paying only for active users. All hospices receive a 20 percent charity discount.
Rapid Deployment and Easy Adoption
Lengthy implementations kill momentum and drive up costs. Evalu-8 HR’s straightforward onboarding process guides you through data import and configuration in days, not months. Role-based training gives your coordinators and volunteers the confidence to use the system from week one. You do not need a dedicated IT team or expensive consultancy.
The True Cost of Staying Manual
Admin Overload: Hours spent chasing missing timesheets or swapping shifts could be invested in patient care
Hidden Errors: Manual entry leads to payroll mistakes and compliance risks
Volunteer Friction: Separate systems frustrate volunteers and create reporting gaps for funders
By automating these tasks, small hospices often recoup their software cost within weeks through saved labour and fewer errors.
