Brightmine
Chose Brightmine
XpertHR is really great for 50-state info, spreadsheets, and other more complex, detailed policies and procedure information. The level of information provided is more in-depth.
Chose Brightmine
Mineral does not seem to be on top of the legal updates and you have to really search for the content, it's not easily organized

Likelihood to Recommend
Brightmine
XpertHR is well suited to providing a good starting point for introducing a new policy or reviewing an existing one. The content organization helps reduce the risk of overlooking relevant considerations. A section on Trending topics provides a helpful prompt to keep current on current issues. The regular email alerts are sound, too, flagging up new resources.

It is very appropriate for new hires to be able to take training during on-boarding. for customer service, safety, and some policy training. It is also great for OSHA training. They have great management training, especially for first time managers. Also have HR training and updates as well for HR staff or HR staff new to their roles.

Pros

  • The law alerts are great especially since we are in two different states
  • They have an elaborate course catalog of training and the dashboard is a great tool when keeping track of the staff accomplishments
  • I especially like the Checklist they have in the Resources tool to ensure nothing is missed so we can stay in compliance
  • The template toolkits are very easy to understand and follow

Cons
Brightmine
  • The employment law service is a bit too basic. The lawyer often gives you very basic or scripted advice that is not tailored to the situation needed
  • The functionality search sometimes is not great. You risk getting lost between hundreds of articles without finding what you really need
  • Sometimes the articles are too lengthy and you only need a very quick response

  • Deleting employees from the system could be easier
  • Adding your own content would be a nice feature
  • Setting up your own dashboard would be nice

Usability
Brightmine
It's great and mostly user friendly. Some of the team have skipped over great information in there as the site was not as intuitive as expected, e.g. finding particular templates

Alternatives Considered
Brightmine
I have not directly used it but used it by passing on questions and queries to my HR network to obtain their advice. Often I felt that they do not provide direct advice to directly address my concerns or queries but more generic feedback that might be applicable or not. I think their advice often provides multiple and vague outcomes but not tailored to the outcome the business wants

Safety Skills have more safety topics but Mineral safety videos are good too. In some ways, I prefer Mineral over Shrm due to the ease of finding the templates that I am looking for. It would be nice if they had an HR conference too because I never heard of Mineral until it was introduce to use by one of our vendors.

Scalability

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

Return on Investment
Brightmine
  • saves so much valuable time when updating policies which is huge as we have a small team and time is limited.
  • Normally, it saves time on hours or research as you can find it all on the site, including salary review data.
  • Reduces the cost of using employment lawyers all the time for policy updating and other advice.
  • It's like a one-stop shop that enables the user to find everything they need on a multitude of topics with extensive information that requires minimal time by the user, but to search for that information individually would take hours, if not days, in some cases.

  • It has definitely been positive, but I'm not sure how I could measure the ROI. I feel it has given me more insight into certain situations, such as dealing with millennial employees, and has helped me to grow as a leader in my organization.
