Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

We use BambooHR for all HR related matters across our including performance evaluations, time off, health benefits tracking, company HR resources and job information. It is used by all employees across the organization and keep everything uniform and in one place. This makes it easy for managers and employees to find what they are looking for.
  • Time off requests.
  • Benefit details.
  • Employee information.
  • Better file tracking.
  • Better organization structure mapping.
  • It has increased HR efficiency.
  • It has increased employee satisfaction.
Easy to use with a good UI/UX experience. Different tabs make it easy to navigate to what you are looking for. Notifications also make it easy to find tasks to complete and allow you to jump to pages. The home dashboard page is great for seeing an entire overview of your account.
I have not used the reporting functions
Workday is more for an enterprise scale in my opinion. BambooHR is great for small to mid sized companies. Both have a lot of the same tools, but BambooHR is very simple for new people to learn which makes it great for smaller scale teams and companies. Workday might have more functionality but is bulky.
