"Breathe is the perfect solution for small to medium-sized businesses like ours. It's user-friendly, intuitive, and has a really clean interface."
Background
Family Law Partners, a specialist family law firm, were looking for an HR solution to help streamline their growing operations. With multiple offices and an expanding team, they needed something that was both user-friendly and cost-effective to manage key tasks like absence tracking, recruitment, and employee documentation. After considering a few options, they landed on Breathe as the perfect fit.
The challenge 🎯
Before switching to Breathe, Family Law Partners was using an outdated HR system that just couldn’t keep up with their growing team. They needed something more robust to handle essential HR tasks efficiently and make their day-to-day operations smoother.
"We were using a system that was quite limited in what it could do. It made us look for something that could encompass all our HR requirements," Kimberley explains.
"Absence management, in particular, was a challenge. We needed a system that could streamline the process, and that’s when we found Breathe."
Key pain points:
- Limited functionality of previous system
- Time-consuming manual processes
- Communication & workflow management difficulties
- Need for centralised documentation storage
The solution ✅
Breathe stood out for being simple to use – yet packed with features. Family Law Partners quickly got on board, starting with the absence management tool and then expanding into recruitment and document storage.
"We use Breathe to log sickness, holidays, training events, and even ad hoc conferences. It’s also become a great place to store important documentation," says Kimberley. "Breathe helps managers and the admin team save time, making us more efficient and boosting productivity. Plus, it’s really cost-effective."
The team also found the recruitment feature particularly helpful. Kirsten, HR Officer, adds:
"The recruitment module is super useful, especially when we’re hiring for multiple roles. It makes storing candidate information and documents so quick and easy."
Favourite features 💙
One of the standout features for Family Law Partners within Breathe, is the dashboard functionality, which provides immediate visibility into key HR metrics. Kirsten shares:
“The dashboard is essential for us – it gives us a clear view of everything happening at a glance, from sickness and leave requests to important dates.The user-friendly design and the ability to download the app for self-service make it even better. We love how easy it is for our team to manage their own requests, which streamlines our processes and keeps everything running smoothly,” Kirsten adds.
The results 📈
Since implementing Breathe, Family Law Partners has seen a big boost in efficiency across their HR tasks. The platform’s intuitive interface made it easy for the whole team to get on board, and its ability to streamline processes has been a real game-changer.
"The rollout was incredibly smooth," says Kirsten. "We did the free trial, imported all our data, and invited employees to join. Everyone picked it up really quickly, which made everything so much easier."
Now, Family Law Partners uses Breathe to manage holidays, track absences, and keep tabs on important milestones.
"The holiday booking system is fantastic," Kirsten notes. "It gives line managers a clear view of everyone’s time off, making approvals quick and easy." She also adds, "The dashboard helps us stay on top of key dates like birthdays and anniversaries, which is a huge help for our HR team."
For managers, the absence management module has been a favourite.
"It helps our line managers streamline communication and workflows. Tasks that used to take forever are now so much faster, which has been a huge benefit for us," says Kirsten.

Breathe has become an essential tool for Family Law Partners, saving the team time and cutting down on manual tasks. With Breathe in place, employees can focus on what really matters – providing excellent service to their clients.
"Breathe makes line management a breeze and helps us create more efficient workflows. It’s also a game-changer for operations, speeding up tasks that used to drag on," Kimberley says.
The platform's ability to streamline communication and improve internal processes has made a big difference, too.
