Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR
BambooHR is used company-wide to track PTO. It offers a company-wide calendar, visible to all employees, to allow transparency in seeing where employees are on a day to day basis. Examples include: work from home, vacation, sick, or jury duty. We did not have a system in place to track PTO, so this is the main problem it addresses.
- Adaptability. Anyone can use this system. It is user-friendly and makes tracking your sick and vacation days easy and understandable.
- Holidays: In addition to showing where employees are on a day to day basis, it displays birthdays and company holidays, reducing email clutter that HR would normally receive.
- Company-wide calendar: Allows users to see where their coworkers are on a weekly basis, helping them to plan future vacations or see if someone is working from home without the need to reach out directly.
- We would like to see a more detailed function where employees can log time on a "project" basis. i.e. John Smith works 40 hours per week. 10 on project A, 5 on project B, and the remainder on project C. This would allow better visibility into time spent working and it syncs well with current app functionality.
- I have no other "negative" things to say, BambooHR does a great job with what it is designed to do.
- Reduces workflow of our "HR department" which lies within the finance team. Saves a lot of time.
- Allows transparency on a by employee basis, allowing recognition of work anniversaries or birthdays - overall improving employee satisfaction.
- No negatives to mention.
We did not have a system in place prior to BambooHR. We did not consider any alternatives. This met our needs and has been great since implementation.
