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

  • Navigate complex payroll and labour rules with confidence

  • 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

  • Rule-based actions

  • Notifications and escalations

  • Onboarding and offboarding processes

No coding required.
No rigid templates.

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

My Documents – Secure, Centralised HR Document Management


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.

Dynamic Import – Any Template. Any Format. Full Control

Data migration and monthly updates are often painful due to inconsistent templates.

With Dynamic Import, users can:

  • Upload spreadsheets in any format

  • Map columns to HR Forte fields

  • Save mapping rules for recurring use

  • Import data accurately in minutes

This feature is ideal for:

  • Professional service providers

  • Regional payroll teams

  • Companies migrating from legacy systems

Dynamic Import removes friction and gives users full flexibility without compromising data integrity.

eSign – Fast, Paperless HR Transactions

HR Forte’s integrated eSign module enables digital signing directly within the platform.

Key benefits:

  • Single or multi-party signing

  • Signature sequencing

  • Real-time tracking

  • Automatic storage in My Documents

This supports remote teams, regional operations, and sustainability initiatives, while significantly reducing turnaround time.

HRIQ – Advanced HR & Payroll Reporting with Pivot Flexibility


Traditional HR reports are static and restrictive.

HRIQ introduces:

  • Pivot-style reporting

  • Drag-and-drop report building

  • Real-time data visibility

  • Customisable views and exports

HR and finance teams can generate insights across headcount, payroll, compensation, and statutory data — tailored to how they analyse their business.

HRIQ turns HR data into decision-ready intelligence.
