Read MoreHR insights, Factorial guides, and operational playbooks for European SMEs
The Faqtic blog is the practical knowledge base for HR leaders, COOs, and founders running companies between 20 and 300 employees. Every article is written by our implementation team, drawing on more than 130 Factorial rollouts across the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands. We focus on what actually moves the needle: shorter onboarding cycles, cleaner HR data, higher employee adoption, and HR processes that scale without adding headcount.
What you will find here
HR processes that scale
Frameworks for onboarding, performance reviews, time tracking, and absence management designed for growing teams. Practical templates and checklists you can apply this week.
HR analytics and reporting
How to build the HR dashboards your CEO actually reads. Headcount, turnover, absence, hiring funnel, cost per employee, and how to surface them in Factorial.
Change management and adoption
The human side of an HR system rollout. How to win over sceptical managers, train employees who fear change, and turn Factorial into the daily tool everyone actually opens.
Compliance and policy
GDPR, working time directives, leave entitlements, document retention, and digital signatures. What European SMEs need to know to stay compliant without drowning in paperwork.
Comparisons and decision support
Honest comparisons between Factorial and other HR platforms, plus decision frameworks for evaluating HR software in 20 to 300 employee organisations.
Who this blog is for
HR Managers and People Leads who want to stop firefighting and start designing systems. COOs and Operations Managers who need HR to scale alongside the rest of the business. Founders and CEOs of growing SMEs who know that messy HR data, manual processes, and low adoption are quietly costing them. Bookkeepers and finance teams who need cleaner inputs into payroll. If you have bought, are evaluating, or are already using Factorial and want to get more out of it, you are in the right place.
How we write
Articles on this blog come from the Faqtic implementation team led by Marvin Molijn. Every guide is grounded in projects we have actually run with European SMEs across professional services, marketing agencies, IT, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and non-profits. We do not publish AI-generated filler, we do not chase keywords for the sake of it, and we will tell you when Factorial is not the right answer. Our goal is simple: help you make HR software actually work for your company.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the Faqtic blog updated?+
We publish new HR and Factorial content every week, with deeper implementation playbooks and case studies released monthly. All older articles are reviewed and refreshed at least once a year so the guidance stays accurate as Factorial evolves.
Is the Faqtic blog only useful for existing Factorial customers?+
No. A large share of our readers are still evaluating HR software. Comparison articles, buyer guides, and HR maturity content are written specifically for companies in the decision phase. Implementation and optimisation guides are for teams already using Factorial.
Who writes the articles on the Faqtic blog?+
Articles are written by the Faqtic implementation team, with Marvin Molijn as the principal author and editor. The team has delivered more than 130 Factorial implementations across the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
Can I request a topic or submit a question?+
Yes. If there is an HR or Factorial topic you want us to cover, contact us through the contact page. We prioritise topics that come directly from HR leaders and operators.
Do you cover HR topics outside of Factorial?+
Yes. Many of our articles cover HR processes, compliance, analytics, and change management that apply regardless of which HR platform you use. We are platform-opinionated, but the operational thinking transfers.
