If your employee details are spread across spreadsheets, emails and disconnected apps, Breathe brings them together. It's a UK HR platform launched in 2012 for small and medium-sized businesses. More than 17,000 of them use it, along with over 1,000 UK HR consultancies.
Three everyday HR problems Breathe fixes
Information everywhere: one central, accurate record for every employee.
Endless chasing: staff book leave, sign documents electronically and follow shared workflows.
A small HR team: start with the essentials and add more as you grow.
The essentials: Core HR
Store records and documents securely, manage holiday and leave, track sickness and absence, and let staff update their own details. Collect e-signatures, set goals, run one-to-ones and reviews, and spot trends with built-in reports.
Optional extras
Rota, Time and Attendance: plan shifts and track hours
Expenses: claims, receipts and manager sign-off
Recruitment: advertise roles and follow each candidate
Health and Safety: risk assessments, incidents and compliance evidence
e-Learning: assign UK-specific courses and see who's completed what
Breathe is also building an AI Assistant to answer HR and policy questions, and plans to launch payroll in late 2026.
Who gets the most from it
