Human Resources software is an application used to store and manage your important employee data across payroll, recruiting, onboarding, employee development, and more.

### What is the most important factor when beginning my HR journey?

The most important part of [HR for small business](https://gusto.com/product/hr/small-business) is making sure you are compliant.
