What Darwinbox is
Darwinbox is an enterprise human capital management platform for organizing HR processes and employee interactions. Its HRMS modules span workforce management, payroll and expenses, recruiting, employee engagement, talent management, and people analytics. Workforce tools include core HR, time and attendance, helpdesk, and work-from-home capabilities. Talent features cover performance reviews, OKRs, ongoing and 360-degree feedback, and development. The mobile app provides access to HR documents and tasks involving attendance, payroll, expenses, recruitment, onboarding, engagement, and performance.
