What is Integrated HR?
Integrated HR combines core administrative functions (like Payroll) with strategic talent management (Appraisals). Instead of separate silos, data flows seamlessly: performance reviews directly influence compensation, and payroll costs can be analyzed against employee productivity metrics in real-time.

The Hidden Cost of Disconnected Systems
Many companies use one software for payroll (like a bank service) and another for performance reviews (or worse, paper forms). This create a "data silo."
When Payroll doesn't talk to Performance, you get:
- Manual data entry errors when updating salaries.
- Delayed bonus payouts affecting morale.
- Inability to correlate high performance with compensation costs (ROI).
How the Integration Works
A seamless cycle from setting goals to rewarding success.
1. Review
Manager completes performance review in Space HR, assigning a final rating (e.g., "Exceeds").
2. Calculate
System applies your pre-set rules (e.g., "Exceeds = 5% Raise") and proposes compensation changes.
3. Approve
HR or Finance leader approves the bulk salary updates with one click.
4. Payout
Updated salary flows to Payroll immediately. Employee sees the raise on their next payslip.

| Salary Updates | Auto-update after review approval | Manual entry (Error prone) |
| Bonus Calculations | Formula-based (e.g., Rating 5 = 10%) | Spreadsheet math |
| Turnover Analysis | Correlation: "Are we underpaying top performers?" | Guesswork |
| Employee Experience | One login for Payslips & Goals | Multiple logins & passwords |
