BrightHR Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BrightHR is a much easier way to track holidays, sickness, rotas and keep a secure record of staff. Life is so much easier with this and once it’s all set up you have everything you need with employee hand books and contracts. A foolproof way if keeping your business safe from the pitfalls of employment law changes

Likelihood to Recommend

BrightHR is great for logging sickness for employees and holidays and takes away the pain of doing it manually- no second guessing if you made a note on staff records - it’s all there at your fingertips - e-learning is a great tool for employee productivity and highlights were staff may need a little more help

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

While we previously used BrightHR many years ago we have returned due to how well the system works for us. It is easy to navigate, manage and make amendments.

It gives you the same options as all other "higher end" HR systems for a fair price and great support.

Likelihood to Recommend

After using a different system we found that BrightHR just works. Our staff prefer using the system, it makes sense and is simple.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In a small business that requires HR Support and Services but can't afford a dedicated HR Person, the tools and services BrightHR have given us have really helped us bridge the gap.

Tasks like recording Holidays, Annual Leave, Expenses, Overtime etc. are much easier now and as a result much more accurate.

Likelihood to Recommend

Organizations that are too small for a dedicated HR person

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've just enrolled with BrightHR to aid help a cleaner documentation, such as employee files, holiday recording etc..

Likelihood to Recommend

We originally recorded holidays by paper and verbal approvals, this was messy across the business as approvals weren't always recorded correctly meaning the business did not always know when employees were on annual leave. BrightHR has made recording annual leave incredibly easier, as it's all managed online rather than trying to track down paper copies.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BrightHR has allowed us to stream line throughout the organisation, we have now got personal information uploaded and available at the touch of a button. It allows staff members to be independent and accountable for booking there own holidays and leave dates, rather than filling out a paper form, it also helps with looking through holiday dates when needed and keeping totals correct.

Likelihood to Recommend

Less appropriate: We wanted to move our staff rota over to BrightHR to make this easier for staff and managers, but we found it was very clunky and wouldn't show total numbers of staff on a given date, we also found that it wouldn't distinguish between long day shifts and shorter shifts, so this was not feasible.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Calendar - When booking holidays users can only see their own departments bookings. We need to see holiday bookings across the company but if we give access to all users they can see all other company records that they cannot have access to. The Calendar aspect needs to be universal. Can this be done without giving access to all other records on individuals accounts?

Likelihood to Recommend

BrightHR is an excellent tool for the HR aspect of the business, however as previously outlined in previous question some things are a little clunky.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BrightHR to for storing employee information, document management, e-learning, managing holiday and other absences, tracking employees objectives and tracking employee hours (via Blip app).

Likelihood to Recommend

BrightHR has made it so much easier for us to manage our HR function and we like the simplicity of the interface. There are a few frustrating issues (see cons), but these could easily be corrected in future releases which would make the system even better.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BrightHR is the system we use to record employee data. It keeps data for all staff in one central place and allows calendar sync to view staff absences. It acts as a functional way to store employee documents and personal employee information. The addition of e-learning is also a beneficial resource.

Likelihood to Recommend

We transitioned over from another HRIS and BrightHR made the process to move over quick and seamless with data conversion assistance. The system meets our daily HR needs for our small team and is an effective way to manage employee data. We've even used Bright Exchange as a way to advertise our organisation.
