We use BambooHR to manage all of our employees' data, from employee number, to personal information, work information, among other things. It also helps us manage statistics and custom reports to analyze what is happening at our company. With BambooHR, we know people can access their information from personal stuff, to wage and bonuses, which is a huge plus. BambooHR addressess a problem about people analytics management, a lot of companies don't know how to use that data their employees are giving them to build and discover insights.

I use BambooHR to request time off and track time off. For the Company, I track, download or print documents for the staff files, especially when onboarding new staff. I sometimes search for 1st day/hire date or staff Birthdays.

Employee information gathering, easy touch point to see location of work, supervisor reports. Birthdates for making appointment and the photo are a great bonus to remind us who is who. <br><br>Business problems is that our employees don't use it. They don't use the app or see the emails or care.

We use BambooHR for all our HR processes. Some business problems solved are the onboarding process taking too long and inefficiencies. Digital signatures have been great for tracking all documentation required for compliance. Also, we reduced delays for performance reviews, and now all managers have access to employee information that is important, such as certificates, training, or others.

We use it as the portal for the employees. They main problem is that we only have one admin and when we need to change something is pretty tedious and time consuming. Some things can't be done automatically and have to be done manually. we don't have the option either to upload documents to justify some paid leaves.

We use BambooHR for HRIS and time tracking. We currently have about 47 employees, 10 of which use the time tracking feature. This has been a solve for recording time tracking among our hourly folks, however, it does not flow into our payroll system. We use BambooHR for ATS, which in turns stores our offer letter and hiring information once we bring a new employee on board. We use the onboarding function to send our new folks their forms prior to their first day, it's great that it auto-saves these into the employee's online folders. In HR, I heavily rely on BambooHR for reporting, especially for pay, history, and EEO information. Myself and the executive team also use this for reminders of birthdays and anniversary, a fun and essential feature.

We use BambooHR as our HRIS. It stores all employee data as well as being our Applicant Tracking system for recruitment. BambooHR allows us to be sure that the data we are using to run our reports is accurate. it also allows us to provide senior management with up to date, reliable information on which to base decisions. BambooHR is also used to track our employees hours worked which is a requirement of our local employment legislation. We also use the eSignature forms which are very useful.

Managing employee documentation, team announcements, vacation policies and managing vacation time, birthdays, onboarding and offboarding, it is an amazing tool! We used to send documents via email and the reply of important info via email, to then have to download and put in a share file or company folder, was a hassel, this really help me as the HR, to have a tool that did all electronically and has a place for each employee, system does filing accordingly per employee, I just love!

My organization uses BambooHR for most if not all HR functions. Tracking attendance, benefits, and utilizes the full onboarding experience. I am new to the HR world and BambooHR has been a fantastic tool to learn about the profession and also streamline some processes for the company. I would like to continue to learn more functions to keep making HR functions for the company simpler.

We use BambooHR as our main HRMS, which includes onboarding, offboarding, hiring, reporting, performance, eNPS, time off, time tracking, etc. Overall, we are very happy with it; the system has helped us to digitize lots of processes, save us time, and offer a better employee experience. Also, the support team is super responsive.

We use BambooHR to house all employee personnel files, list jobs, send offer letters, onboard new hires and offboarding of terminated employees. BambooHR is also used to maintain out PTO and leave policies. Employees use BambooHR to request time off, change their addresses, and find company files. We also send out announcements using the announcement functions.

It is used for employee info, PTO, reporting. I was not part of onboarding so I don’t know all of the issues it addresses but for what it does and for the main use cases I login to the platform for, I find it very useful and easy to find what I need.

We got BambooHR to help with PTO tracking instead of using an excel spreadsheet and hoping people would turn in the paperwork for using their time. Now with our accrual PTO, it's easy for our employees to ask for time off and they clearly can see how many hours of PTO they have along with using a calculator to determine how many hours they will have at a certain point in the year.

We use BambooHR as our general HR software; we initiate onboarding (through Greenhouse integration) and offboarding as a place to keep documents, route documents for signature, and time tracking. We also use it to document the start of the performance year as well as the end of a performance year. We also use it as a place to track various time off categories.
