Breathe (also written Breathe HR or BreatheHR) has helped UK small and medium-sized businesses manage their people since 2012. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and separate tools, you get one place for records, leave, documents, performance, reporting and compliance.
What you get as standard
Core HR covers secure employee records and documents, holiday and leave, sickness and absence, self-service, e-signatures, performance (goals, feedback, one-to-ones and reviews), and reporting and analytics.
Add more when you need it
Recruitment: job ads, hiring workflows and candidate tracking
e-Learning: UK-specific courses and completion tracking
Health and Safety: risk assessments, incidents and certifications
Expenses: claims, receipts and manager approvals
Rota, Time and Attendance: shifts, availability and hours
Coming soon: an AI Assistant that answers HR and policy questions from your company information, and payroll in late 2026.
The difference it makes
One accurate record means no more typing details twice. Self-service and shared workflows cut the chasing. And you can start with Core HR and add modules later, so it works even when HR is one person's part-time job.
Is Breathe right for you?
It works best for UK businesses with up to 200 employees moving HR off spreadsheets, especially with lean or shared HR roles. With 200+ staff or needs like multinational payroll or complex global compliance, look carefully first. Breathe isn't a global enterprise HCM (human capital management) suite.
