What is BrightHR?
BrightHR is a UK based HR and health & safety software platform, dedicated to transforming people management.
BrightHR has supported employers since 2015 with a range of software and provides HR, H&S, and business support to over 80,000 businesses globally.
The software allows the user to manage staff holidays, overtime, sickness, lateness, and on the go with mobile apps.
With the Turbo Talent Navigator, the user can build a team with its job listing creator and applicant manager, and download templates such as offer letters and job descriptions, alongside interview checklists.
Once they’re hired, BrightHR will help plan their rotas, run their payroll reports, and track their sick leave and holidays, in its people management software. Plus, with Blip and PoP, BrightHR's free mobile apps, the user can create a digital clock-in system and track employee expenses.
Staff will also have access to an employee assistance programme, Bright Wellbeing & Counselling, which brings staff a wealth of wellbeing services. The EAP provides a 24/7, 365 confidential & compassionate helpline for employees to speak to experienced in-house counsellors.
Because keeping staff safe is important, BrightSafe also helps to ensure compliance with regulations. Create and manage risk assessments, record any accidents in the workplace and carry out investigations. Also, access a range of CPD and RoSPA accredited e-learning courses.
The solution includes access to Bright Exchange, where the user can list a business and offer exclusive discounts to an audience of over 50,000 businesses and their staff. Staff will also get access to tons of special offers.
Additionally, BrightAdvice gives a direct line to a team of qualified employment law experts ready to help when needed. BrightAdvice guarantees a support network for even the trickiest HR issues.
And its answer bot, BrightHR Lightning, lets users type in an HR question, and the smart AI system will return a legally compliant answer straight away.

Major efficiency savings by using BrightHR
Samuel L. was excellent at demonstrating and training us on the system. Excellent service and excellent technology.
The platform brings an incredible boost to our efficiency, productivity and ease of use with our company systems.
- great interface for both staff and managers to work with
- all annual leave requests, TOIL, overtime handled incredibly easy
- central storage of employee documentation easily and safely held and on-hand
- would be good to be able to remove items not required (e.g. function for staff to select 'payable' overtime additions)

Great product and service!
- When a query has been dealt with via the helpline an email confirming the outcome is often issued which is great for reference at any time.
- The system is easy to use and the screens are clutter free.
- The support service offered is easy to access and the staff are friendly and helpful.
- Direct-dial telephone numbers rather than going through the Peninsula helpline numbers.
- Setting up annual leave profiles often needs the assistance of a Bright HR representative when staff works quirky shifts. Providing examples of how to set the system up in user guides may help to set the system upright the first time.
