We also use Bright Payroll so the system is fully integrated, transferring information across for payment which reduces the amount of manual intervention.

Pros

  • Personnel records all in one place
  • The ability for staff to request holidays
  • The ability to upload documents for staff to view

Cons

  • Some areas such as rotas need to include a comments section that are not visible to staff

Return on Investment

  • Too early to tell, sorry

BrightHR - bringing us into the modern world

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BrightHR has brought us into the modern age by ensuring all our contracts and handbook are securely and electronically stored. Previously we relied on paper files and wasted time hunting through documents. How everything is simply stored and fully visible for the employees and managers. The online training modules have also allowed us to ensure our team are appropriately trained for their role.

Pros

  • Document storage
  • Holiday tracking
  • E-learning

Cons

  • It would be nice to hide the sections of the software that we don't use to make it cleaner.
  • The initial setup is daunting with getting all the employee information uploaded.

Return on Investment

  • It has made it easier to stay compliant with all the changes to Employee handbooks and contracts.
