HR Forte December 2025 Enhancements Release

Smarter HR & Payroll for Asia, Powered by AI and Automation

HR and payroll in Asia are complex — fragmented regulations, multiple templates, manual approvals, and growing compliance risks.
HR Forte was built to solve exactly that.

As we close 2025, HR Forte launches its most powerful feature release to date, designed for companies operating across Asia that demand accuracy, efficiency, and scalability.

This release introduces AI-driven compliance, workflow automation, flexible data handling, paperless signing, and next-generation reporting — all in one platform.

What’s New in HR Forte – December 2025 Feature Release

AskGenie – AI-Powered HR & Payroll Compliance for Asia

AskGenie is HR Forte’s built-in AI assistant, designed to answer HR, payroll, and personal tax questions across multiple APAC countries.

With AskGenie, businesses can:

• Get instant, verified answers based on official regulatory sources

• Access guidance in multiple languages

• Reduce dependency on external consultants and manual research

AskGenie transforms HR Forte from a system into a real-time compliance intelligence platform.

Workflow Automation – Reduce Manual Work, Eliminate Bottlenecks

Manual approvals slow teams down and increase error risk.

With Workflow Automation, HR Forte allows users to automate:

• Approval chains

No coding required.
No rigid templates.

This enables HR teams to standardise processes, reduce human error, and scale operations effortlessly across countries.

HR documents should be organised, traceable, and accessible — not scattered across emails and folders.

My Documents provides:

• A secure central repository for HR and payroll documents

• Employee-specific folders accessible via ESS

• Automatic storage of eSigned documents

• Controlled access and audit trails

This ensures governance, compliance, and operational clarity for HR teams and employees alike.

This feature is ideal for:

• Professional service providers

• Regional payroll teams

• Drag-and-drop report building

• Real-time data visibility
