HR Software for Teams of 25
At twenty-five employees you are firmly in Growth plan territory. You likely have multiple teams, a mix of full-time and part-time staff, and enough complexity that you need performance tracking alongside your core HR. Grove HR scales with you, adding recruitment tools and advanced reporting without changing the platform your team already knows.

Challenges at 25 employees
Multiple Teams and Departments
With several teams you need department-level reporting, cross-team leave visibility, and policies that work consistently across the business.
Performance Management Needs
At 25 employees, informal feedback is no longer enough. You need structured reviews, goal setting, and a record of conversations for development and compliance.
Mixed Contract Types
Full-time, part-time, and potentially contract workers each have different entitlements. Calculating pro-rata holiday and managing varied notice periods manually is error-prone.
Solutions built for your team size
Multiple Teams and Departments
Department structures with team-level calendars and reporting let managers see their own teams while leadership gets the full organisational picture.
Performance Management Needs
The Growth plan includes performance review cycles, goal tracking, and 1-to-1 meeting records — giving you a complete development framework.
Mixed Contract Types
Grove HR automatically calculates pro-rata holiday entitlements for part-time workers and manages different notice periods and contract terms per employee.
Frequently asked questions
What does Grove HR cost for 25 employees?
On the Growth plan at £3.80 per employee per month, a team of 25 costs £95 per month. This includes everything in Seedling plus performance reviews, recruitment tools, and advanced reporting.

Yes. Set each employee's working pattern and Grove HR automatically calculates pro-rata holiday entitlement, adjusts Bradford Factor thresholds, and manages varied contract terms.

Yes. The Growth plan includes customisable review cycles, self and manager assessments, goal setting, and a complete history of each employee's development conversations.
