Why We Started Purpletree

We founded Purpletree because we were frustrated with the outdated and generic HR support that was holding SMEs back.

We'd seen it firsthand in our corporate HR roles - Businesses getting hit with WRC complaints and traditional HR providers failing to address the changes in modern-day workplaces.

We knew there had to be a better way. So, we created the HR consultancy company we'd want to work with ourselves - one that puts relationships over billable hours and forward-thinking solutions over templated handbooks.

We‘re not about churning out generic advice or clocking up billable hours. No, we're about understanding your unique situation, anticipating challenges, and providing straightforward HR Support that just makes sense.

The Purpletree Promise

With Purpletree, you're not just getting an account manager who delivers generic advice, no, you're getting a dedicated HR consultant who will provide tailored support and prepare your business for any HR hurdles to come.

We don't just send you a PDF and call it a day. We roll up our sleeves and get to work, drafting contracts, conducting investigations, delivering risk assessments, and helping you implement our HR:Duo system.

When you need us, we're only a phone call away. No waiting days for advice or chasing down support staff. With PurpleTree, you get real-world expertise, tailored solutions, and support that's always available.

That's the Purpletree difference.

A HRIS Software that Helps.

HR:Duo is the HR software system that we use to help manage your staff records, contracts, policies, time off and documentation, all in one place.

It’s secure, easy to use, and designed specifically for Irish businesses.

We train your team on HR:Duo and configure it to how you work.

Centralises Staff Records

Leave scattered spreadsheets in the past. HR:Duo keeps all your employee files, contracts, policies, and performance notes securely in one place.

Simplifies Leave & Absence Management

Anyone can request sick leave, holidays and more within the software. Managers can approve in seconds. It tracks balances automatically, so you can easily focus on workforce management.

Manages Contracts & Policy Rollouts

When a contract or policy changes, HR:Duo makes sure it gets to the right people and logs when they’ve read or accepted it. A full record is kept for any compliance needs.

Supports WRC & HSA Readiness

From disciplinary records to contract updates, everything is logged. Allowing for a clean and comprehensive audit trail in the case of a WRC or HSA inspection.

Gives Managers Visibility — Without the Admin

Managers can see who’s off, when reviews are due, or what documents are pending, without having to rely on HR to chase for updates.

Configured & Supported by Us

We don’t hand over and walk away, no, we configure it to your business and train your team on its use. HR:Duo is the cutting-edge tool in your HR toolkit, and we provide you with the training to wield it.
