Brightmine (formerly XpertHR) is a global provider of people data, analytics and insight. Brightmine is a division of LexisNexis Data Services, within RELX®, a global provider of information-based analytics and decision tools. RELX serves customers in 180+ countries with 35,000+ employees.
We have been using Brightmine for 5 years now and we are happy with the services provided so far, and I believe this factors in the associated competitive prices.
We like Brightmine because they are a global company and offers the most information for the countries where we have employees. Having a one-stop shop for all things compliance for all countries is essentially huge for us. As we grow, we know Brightmine will still be our go-to …
Brightmine is more cost effective and has a wider variety of content and additions. I find the Brightmine legal helpline to be much more valuable than the CIPD one.
Brightmine is a lot more personable and has more topics to choose from. However, the positive with Lex HR is that you can ask their AI a question and it will provide a model answer immediately. The legal advice option on Brightmine is fantastic and very thorough but with Lex HR …
HR Inform's documents are written a little better but there is less choice, they are similar in pricing however you can get a discount is you are a CIPD member which is attractive. It would be good if Brightmine can partner with the HR Ninjas very large network and give …
Having used both Mineral and Brightmine, overall I think they are comparable tools. Brightmine has stood out as being an easy to use platform. I also appreciate that when searching for information, on the Brightmine site, there are suggestions links/additional links presented …
I think SHRM has great resources and more resources for "nuanced" situations or scenarios and can get more into the nitty gritty issues, whereas I use Brightmine for just the facts on "what" is being updated and not "how" to make it work for our organization. SHRM can be …
Brightmine is more comprehensive regarding the information and resources available for employment laws at the federal level and in all states. I access Brightmine daily, and find more relevant resources on Brightmine than on any other website. Other sites are good for articles …
I got to Brightmine when I want to understand the laws and regulations in the 50 states and federal. I will go to SHRM to assist with developing HR policies.
Brightmine is well suited for UK employment law guidance, policy interpretation, and complex employee relations scenarios requiring quick, reliable insight. It is less appropriate for country specific advice outside the UK or for highly bespoke legal matters that require formal external legal counsel. In these cases you would still require external legal counsel.
Have a 50 state chart that lists all final pay requirements for a deceased employee.
Policy requirements that are 100% mandatory for the handbook. This could be adjusted to make it crystal clear what is really needed and what an employer may want to add.
Chat support. I don't think this feature has ever worked on the site.
Without realising it we use Brightmine so often and it is so beneficial as our daily roles are onerous. By having a tool there that covers such a wide variety of products we can rest assured we know if we need something we can find it on there easily. With no hassle.
The website is so easy to use and navigate through. I check this website weekly on the states I am responsible for, and it is so well organized to quickly find those states. I also use this to check up on information with policies and laws I run into and all the information is quick and easy to find.
It is almost always available when I need it. I have only ran into 2 situations where I received an error message and could not get logged in but was told this was a widespread issue that would quickly be resolved.
Everything loads quickly and is exactly where I need it to be. I like how the sidebar breaks down different sections of policies for each state to help me find what I am looking for or gives suggestions or documents to review that may also be helpful
The initial support was brilliant with a colleague who showed us how to use the platform, as the platform is so easy to navigate we havent had further support but i know if i needed any i could contact brightmine to offer the support. It is so easy to use so havent needed to
The people on the call training us were very friendly and knowledgeable! They helped me learn of new tabs for finding templates to create new trainings to update departments on policies and procedures. It also has great excel sheets so I can see side by side differences between states regarding different laws and compensation changes.
I didnt implement but just wanted to say the person providing the training was brilliant and guided us through each page so we knew how to navigate, also allowed us to ask a lot of questions if we needed to which was helpful. So we could go away with confidence to use it
HR Inform's documents are written a little better but there is less choice, they are similar in pricing however you can get a discount is you are a CIPD member which is attractive. It would be good if Brightmine can partner with the HR Ninjas very large network and give discounts to members, this would definitely drive subscriptions up for Brightmine and increase their presence.
Brightmine reduces the time it would take me to research certain items on my own. As a consultant, this increases my capacity, allowing me to take on additional clients and increase my revenue.
Using Brightmine saves me from needing to hire someone to help me perform research or to help me stay up-to-date on changing laws. Although I pay for the service, it is at least 80% less than an employee would cost.
