Overall Satisfaction with BrightHR

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.

Pros

  • People Overview on home page shows a snapshot of the day's activities. Great for seeing who is on leave at a glance.
  • Easy to read employee hub section and ability to manage teams.
  • Booking leave absence is simple and straightforward in BrightHR.
  • Shows the annual leave balance in a clear visual way

Cons

  • Highlight the fact once you make a contract change, the ability to change leave entitlement from days to hours disappears. A pop-up message to state this would be helpful. I recently had a very helpful call with Farshad who helped me understand this limitation and how I could navigate the process to make the changes I was looking to implement.
  • Offer the option to change leave entitlement from hours to days which I believe is not currently possible
  • Ease of access for employees to book leave. Previously this was done via email communications and recording on Google Sheets, so BrightHR frees up admin time spent on this.
It's initiative and easy to use. The help centre has lots of resources to assist with process and navigation.
  • Breathe
Through our HR advisory service, we made the switch to BrightHR which is a great alternative to Breathe and the transition was easy and simple to set up.

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.
