advance change ltd
Actus the company was founded by Lucinda Carney, a Chartered Psychologist and
former Head of Learning & Development at Siemens and at Pfizer before that.
After years of experiencing first-hand the challenges of making Performance
Management meaningful, she decided to set up Actus (then Advance Change)
offering software that would overcome these challenges, supported by training
and organisational development services to provide a comprehensive solution for
culture change. Our ethos Since its inception, Actus has been one of the
pioneers of performance management software in the UK. Our ultimate goal is to
help build a better workplace for people and this goes beyond offering simple
appraisal software. We are a small yet mighty (and very friendly!) team based in
Redbourn, Hertfordshire and our software and services are highly comprehensive.
We believe that to embed lasting, positive change, an organisation needs more
than a very simple ‘off the shelf’ software that acts as a ‘tick box’ exercise.
They need a system that will evolve with their needs as they grow and one that
can be supported with the right training and consultancy options should they
require them. What we offer Our Performance, Learning and Talent Suite is aimed
at managing all your performance management needs in one place. That means one
system and one source of truth. The beauty of Actus is that it eradicates the
need for multiple complex HR systems, allowing the system to evolve with your
organisations needs. To support you on your journey, we also offer a range of
training and consultancy services to embed best practice. These include open and
in-house training programmes to support remote/hybrid working and change
initiatives, bespoke consultancy services, and a wide-range of free value-add
thought leadership resources to support you on your journey. If you are
interested in our products and services please get in touch below. Why we are
different Our fully-comprehensive software eradicates the need for multiple
complex HR systems, by providing customers with one fully-integrated solution
that can be configured to their changing needs. We work in partnership with our
customers. If you choose Actus you can directly influence the product roadmap.
Our Performance Management Software offers more inclusive features than our
competitor systems. In this rapidly changing environment, managers need all the
help they can get to effectively motivate and manage people wherever they are
located. We are passionate about helping people to build a better workplace,
which is why we offer aligned training and consultancy services to support
positive culture change in any organisation. We are constantly expanding and
sharing knowledge with customers and the wider HR community through a wide range
of initiatives including our free HR resources, popular monthly webinars and the
top-ranking business podcast – The HR Uprising Podcast. Our Software Support
Team is based at our UK-based Head Office, so if you have a problem or query you
can call or email the helpdesk and receive a timely response from a real person.
We have a strong history of integrating with other HR systems and working with
clients to develop bespoke functionality. Awards and Accolades We are honoured

are a clear indication of our commitment to offering the very best to our
