Best HR Tech – Human Resource Information System (Gold)

In a resounding victory that highlights the essential role of trust and reliability in the changing HR technology landscape, TIMES Software has received the Gold Award for Best HR Tech – Human Resource Information System (HRIS) at the Readers’ Choice Awards 2025. The award, voted by the very HR professionals and clients who use their solutions, confirms the organisation’s ongoing relevance and dedication to the sector.

Accepting the award, Rene Wong, Senior Sales and Marketing Manager at TIMES Software, expressed gratitude, reflecting on the significance of the recognition. “On behalf of TIMES Software, I am deeply honoured and truly humbled to receive this Gold Award,” Wong stated. “This achievement means a great deal to us, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks…especially to all the readers and clients who supported us with your votes and confidence.”

The award is framed by TIMES Software not merely as a single victory, but as a validation of “continuous journey—one built on innovation, trust, and partnership.” For over three decades, the organisation has been a steadfast presence in the industry, focused on a singular mission: helping organisations streamline and simplify their complex HR and payroll operations. This longevity is built on a foundation of technology that is not just powerful, but crucially, people-focused.

The modern HR environment demands systems that can keep pace with rapid digital transformation while simultaneously addressing growing concerns over data privacy and security. The Gold Award specifically highlights TIMES Software’s success in tackling this dual challenge head-on, ensuring its solutions meet the highest standards of protection.

Wong pointed to the organisation’s proactive strategy in this area. “In a world that’s rapidly evolving, where digital transformation and data protection go hand in hand, we have made it our mission to stay ahead,” she explained. Their flagship HRIS cloud solution is meticulously designed with robust cybersecurity measures and strict compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This dedication ensures that client data remains secure at all times, a non-negotiable factor for any enterprise operating in the current regulatory climate.

This commitment to security is rooted in a fundamental belief about the function of modern HR tech. According to Wong, a truly great HR system must do more than just digitise tasks; it should not only improve transactional efficiency but also “safeguard the trust that employees and organisations place in it.”

While technology and compliance are the bedrock of the award-winning solution, Wong was quick to redirect the spotlight onto the organisation’s human assets. The award, she noted, is a testament to the dedication of the entire TIMES Software team—“a group of passionate individuals who consistently go the extra mile to design, build, and support technology that makes a real difference.”

She emphasised that success is a collective achievement: “To every member of the TIMES Software family: thank you for your commitment, creativity, and teamwork. This success belongs to you.”

The spirit of partnership extends beyond the internal team. As a Readers’ Choice Awards winner, the organisation’s success is intrinsically linked to its loyal customer base and industry partners. Wong acknowledged the role of valued clients, thanking them “for believing in us and growing with us over the years,” noting that their feedback and loyalty are key drivers for continuous improvement and innovation. Similarly, partners were recognised for “walking alongside us, bringing strength and synergy to what we do.”
