## Onboard your team by just... asking
Drop your HR export into chat and tell SideUp what you need. It reads the file, maps every field, and shows you exactly what will change, before anything is touched.
1\. Drop in your file
Export from your HR system and say what you need. No templates to learn.
2\. Review before anything changes
See a sample of the data and a plain-English summary. Nothing is applied until you approve it.
3\. Done, with a full record
Every record is checked after the update, so you always know exactly what changed.
Works alongside your existing HR system integration.
Built for employers
## We hold the admin. You hold the strategy.
Running great benefits shouldn't mean running a second payroll team. SideUp handles the detail so your time goes into the business, not the paperwork.
Day one
### Onboarding, done fast
Set up your program and get your team live quickly. No lengthy implementation projects.
Connected
### Integrates with your systems
Your HRIS stays the source of truth. SideUp syncs with it, rather than adding another place to manage people.
No mystery
### Add people without the hassle
New hires, departures and changes flow through automatically, or get added in a couple of clicks.
Set and forget
### Recurring payments, sorted
Set a benefit to repeat monthly, quarterly or yearly, and it keeps running without you touching it again.
Every month
### Payroll-ready reports
A monthly export with everything payroll needs, pre-tax and post-tax amounts kept apart, ready to drop into your run.
Year-round
### Compliance, taken care of
Substantiation and recordkeeping are handled for you, and a year-end summary keeps your reporting straightforward, not a scramble.
Why it matters
### We handle the detail. You build happy teams.
Every automation above exists for one reason: so the people running your company can spend their time on people, not paperwork. The result is a team that feels genuinely cared for, and data you can trust when you need it.
✓
**Genuine care.** Benefits your team actually feels, every month.
✓
**Data you can rely on.** Clean, accurate records, always ready for an audit or a question.

eNPS & surveys
## Happy people don't just stay. They perform.
eNPS tells you how many promoters you have. The research on highly engaged teams, the kind your promoters build, shows why that matters so much.
51%
lower turnover
in organizations with lower turnover, and 21% lower in high-turnover ones.
18%
higher productivity
in sales, and 14% higher on production records and evaluations.
23%
higher profitability
for the most engaged teams, compared with the least engaged.
78%
lower absenteeism
because people who feel good about work show up, and stay.
Source: Gallup Q12 meta-analysis, 2024. Top versus bottom quartile of employee engagement, across 183,000+ business units in 90 countries.
### Know what your team actually thinks
Run eNPS and pulse surveys straight from SideUp. See how engagement moves over time, which benefits people value most, and what's missing, before it turns into a resignation.
✓
Automated, anonymous surveys, with no manual setup
✓
Break results down by department, age, gender and work model
✓
Spot patterns early, like burnout risk in a specific team

FAQ
## Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about managing your SideUp platform.
Who can access the admin dashboard?
Whoever you give admin access to, with role-based permissions so each admin only sees what they need.
How do reimbursements work?
Employees upload a receipt in the app, you approve it, and the amount is paid from their own budget, within the same categories and rules as a card payment.
What's the difference between eNPS and pulse surveys?
eNPS measures how likely your team is to recommend you as a place to work, tracked over time. Pulse surveys are shorter, more frequent check-ins on specific topics, like a new benefit or a recent change.
Can employees recognize each other, or only managers?
Both. Recognition works peer-to-peer and from managers, so appreciation isn't limited to one direction.
Which HRIS and payroll systems does SideUp connect to?
We're happy to talk through your specific HRIS and payroll setup on a call, so we can confirm what's possible for your business.
Can I see which benefits my team actually uses?
Yes. Your dashboard shows spend and take-up by benefit, so you can see what's working and adjust your program over time.
