Using this in tandem with HR software is a complete package for HR.

Alternatives Considered

Arcoro Hire (formerly birddoghr)

I have not used many competing software to Bridge. Most other companies use and manage this training manually. This can cause a lot of headache. birddoghr is a software with a similar goal to Bridge, I found the user interface to be very hard to navigate and there is basically no discoverability in the knowledge library.

Likelihood to Recommend

Bridge is really good for medium to large size companies who might have their own education department. It's a wonderful suite of tools that allows people to learn everything they need for their job and even some helpful personal education as needed. Bridge is only as powerful as the people utilizing the software. If you don't have a person or team dedicated to creating training and keeping it up to date, you will find less people using it on a daily basis.
