Brightmine vs. WorkBright

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.

Workbright is well suited because of the following reasons: 1. Data transmission between browser and application is highly encrypted 2. Bank grade data encryption for maximum security 3. Data is backed up at various locations 4. Database security is maintained to the highest standards with Engineers 5. Automated reminders and user correction error flow system

• Keep me informed of regulatory changes
• Has great matrices on a per state basis for multiple regulatory topics, such as payment of final wages, etc.
• Provides resources such as labor law posters for updating
• Has a great handbook tool for creating and updating handbooks with well written policies that are easy to edit and customize.

Incentivized

• Being able to share candidate information with other supervisors or team members and others involved in the hiring process.
• The convenience of filling in new employee hiring forms.
• Create groups, organize all paperwork and send to employees with just one click.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Onboarding Paperwork - It would be great if there was only one website we had to log into. For example, I have to log into one to send paperwork, and then log into another domain to check the paperwork sent.
• Note Timeline - Anytime any application is touched, viewed, etc. a note is made. We also utilize the note feature to communicate about each applicant. However, it gets quite messy when their are over 40 notes and you are not able to sort or organize them.
• Attachments - Can't attach items in notes, would be nice feature for attaching images, snippets, pdfs, etc.

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.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

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.

WorkBright was selected as the primary HR software within our company. One of the main reasons it was selected is the intuitive user interface and dashboard. Additionally, the software had excellent features for the cost such as custom reporting, notifications, enhanced security, and training. WorkBright offered many features that other HR software in the same price range did not.

Incentivized

The price is too expensive and there is not clear transparent pricing model.

WE only use it in HR but, I have no doubt that it could be scaled across other sites / teams.

Incentivized

No issues.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Huge return on investment in terms of time needed to circulate new openings nationally.
• Very positive impact on speed with which interviewer can contact prospective employees.
• Outstanding onboarding for new employees. Tick 5 boxes and all info is emailed directly to the new employee.
• Very challenging build process that took many weeks to fully integrate.
