A Shropshire business has launched a “super-charged” piece of software which helps employers manage their people - thanks to a UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Business Development grant awarded by Telford and Wrekin Council.

The team at Human Results in Telford originally launched the Iguana HR system eight years ago, and the new update provides more flexibility and functionality than ever before.

Alasdair Hobbs, managing director of Human Results, said he was grateful for the council’s support which had funded the development of the new version.

He said:

“We created Iguana to help managers overcome the problem of fragmented and inefficient HR processes by bringing everything they need into one place.

“The key strength of Iguana was always that it could be configured to the individual needs of each user, and this latest update has super-charged that flexibility.

“The grant from Telford and Wrekin Council has enabled us to fund a new round of developments to the system, which has made it an even more attractive proposition for businesses.

“It’s incredibly easy to use - we set it up exactly how the client needs, and the system can grow as their business grows.”

Alasdair said Iguana addressed common challenges faced by HR departments, such as managing employee information, tracking absence, ensuring compliance, and improving overall HR operations.

Current clients include EDS couriers, which manages 150 staff through the system, The Haven, Manin Place, Access to Business and Warmfront.

Councillor Ollie Vickers, Telford and Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Economy, said:

“We are proud to support innovative businesses like Human Results, which are driving forward advancements in technology to support other businesses locally and beyond.

“The Iguana HR system is a fantastic example of how our grants can help companies realise their potential, supporting growth and contributing to the success of our local economy.”
