Overall Satisfaction with BrightHR

We use BrightHR to for storing employee information, document management, e-learning, managing holiday and other absences, tracking employees objectives and tracking employee hours (via Blip app).

Pros

  • Simple to use with both web portal and app.
  • Easy holiday management.
  • Includes Blip app for staff to record their hours.
  • Ability for staff to electronically accept documents.
  • Easy tracking of staff objectives/goals.
  • New features rolled out regularly.

Cons

  • You can’t add events to the leave calendar or mark periods of restricted leave which means line managers have to check a separate calendar before approving leave.
  • Any admins receive all holiday requests which clogs up their inboxes. Need more flexible role types so you can select who receives notifications.
  • System doesn’t stop employees requesting holiday when they have used up their allowance.
  • E-learning doesn’t record if an employee completes training assigned to them. The training certificate has to be manually uploaded and the line manager has to remove the training assignment so the employee stops receiving reminders.
  • Has reduced manual administration
  • Eliminated leave disputes as everything is tracked
The system is very user friendly and easy to use.
  • Breathe
We chose BrightHR over Breathe as it had an app, and this was essential as we have a lot of employees on the road.
