About EPL
Built as a simpler PeopleHR alternative

 

 

Employee Passport was created for UK teams who want HR and Health & Safety to feel joined up, not scattered across spreadsheets, folders and separate systems. If you are reviewing a PeopleHR alternative, we make it easier to run the day to day basics with clear workflows and audit ready records. You also get access to our Help Desk for HR and Health & Safety, with site visits available when needed, so you are supported by real people as well as the platform. 

Our Mission

 

Make HR and Health & Safety simpler to manage, and easier to evidence 

Our mission is to help SMEs stay organised, consistent and compliant without drowning in admin. That means giving you a platform that keeps key actions, approvals and documents in one place, and support that helps you make decisions with confidence. 

Our Values

The values that shape how we work 

Accountability 
We keep things clear. Who owns the task, what happened, when it happened, and what is signed off, so you always have a reliable record. 

Passion 
We care about getting it right. From onboarding to compliance, we focus on the details that protect your people and your business. 

Humility 
We listen first, keep it practical, and work in a way that fits your workplace, not a textbook process.

How we work

We keep things straightforward. First, we listen to how your business works now. Then we clarify what needs to be improved, implement a cleaner structure, and support you as the system becomes part of day-to-day operations.

Listen, Clarify, Implement, Support

We start by understanding your current setup, where admin is slowing people down, and where records, actions or compliance processes need more structure. We map out what good looks like, define priorities and make sure owners, actions, deadlines and records are clear from the start. We put the right structure in place across employee records, onboarding, absence and compliance, helping you move from messy processes to one clearer system. We stay practical and hands-on, helping your team use the system properly and giving you a clear route to action as needs evolve.
