Business banking provider Starling Bank has joined forces with BrightHR to help companies during the ongoing coronavirus crisis. BrightHR specializes in HR software along with employment law advice and from this month it’ll be an integral part of the Starling Business Marketplace.
Using the hub as their first port of call, business owners will be able to get quick and easy access to company-related information, including HR updates. With many employees working at home business owners will be able to monitor where their staff are located, manage how many are on holiday and more, all from within the Starling Bank app.
By combining the different tools into one location the announcement highlights the potential of pooling technical resources during the coronavirus pandemic. Notably, Starling business account owners will be able to make use of the Furlough Navigator tool, which will allow company owners to streamline claims when they request support from HMRC.
