Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR®

BambooHR has been a valuable asset in creating up-to-date organisation charts which helps to monitor chains of command/line management for team members.
We have also leveraged the communications feature so that the People team can disseminate key company updates to the everyone via email & also log a reminder task in the BambooHR homepage for the next time you sign in (prompting a "mark as read" to ensure compliance!).
The time off request functionality and "who's out" option assist with planning resources for when colleagues are on annual leave/extended leave.
In the longer term, we aim to implement the performance review functionality

Pros

  • Time off requests
  • Organisational charts
  • Updates

Cons

  • Integration with other comms tools such as Slack
  • Quicker update times when colleagues leave company
  • Streamlining of HR activities
  • Effortless onboarding
  • Support for training reminders
User interface is simple, clean and easy to navigate.
There are no confusing items to distract you or cause you to get lost, all is clearly marked.
  • Breathe
Different companies and each proved to be beneficial for the particular company that had it implemented.
