Ask. Understand. Act.
Pulse is the permission-aware HR assistant built directly into Axel Henry. It understands the HR data you’re already authorised to access, helps you see what needs attention, and helps you act on it — all without ever becoming a way around your organisation’s security.
Get answers from your own data
- “Who has training overdue?”
- “Which probation reviews are approaching?”
- “Which departments have the highest sickness absence?”
See what may need attention
- “What needs my attention this week?”
- “Which managers need a reminder?”
- “What should I prioritise today?”
Move from insight to action
- “Create reminder tasks for those managers.”
- “Draft the reminder.”
- “Send it.”
Actions use your organisation’s existing permissions, services and confirmation controls — Pulse never skips a step.
Pulse surfaces what matters, grounded in real data
Learning compliance
“7 employees have mandatory learning overdue.”
Probation reviews
“3 probation reviews are due within 14 days.”
Absence trends
“Operations sickness absence increased compared with last month.”
Onboarding
“2 new starters have incomplete first-day tasks.”
Every insight is based on verified platform data and existing calculations — never a guess.
From insight to authorised action — always with a confirmation step
Create reminder tasks
- Managers
- 3
- Task
- Review overdue mandatory training
- Due
- 7 days from creation
Draft, Learning assignment, Report creation and Automation proposals all follow the same pattern: nothing is saved, sent or activated until a person explicitly confirms it.
Ask your questions. Pulse uses the same reporting engine you already trust.
Pulse doesn’t rebuild your analytics — it calls the same Report Builder and reporting services every dashboard already uses, so the numbers always match.
- “Which departments have the highest sickness absence this year?”
- “Create a monthly absence report for the last month.”
Turn a recurring request into an automation — reviewed before it runs
“Create an automation that reminds managers 14 days before probation ends” becomes a proposed WHEN/THEN automation, ready for you to review and activate — Pulse never activates one on its own.
AI that understands permissions
Pulse works within Axel Henry’s existing role and permission model. Managers see what they’re authorised to see. HR teams see what they’re authorised to see. Employees see what they’re authorised to see. AI should never become a shortcut around HR security — and in Pulse, it can’t.
