Overall Satisfaction with Brightmine

We use Brightmine for our HR and HS Alerts, Policies, and Documentation to ensure that our company is up to date with current HR and H&S legislation.

I particularly like the policies which are in an easy to adapt/download format, and the fact they list case law under the policy is extremely useful.

Pros

  • Legal updates - keeping up with constant changes.
  • Great letter and other document templates.
  • Useful and well formatted Policy Templates - helping us keep up with changes to legislation.
  • Handy dashboard with trending topics, updated & last viewed items.
  • Daily newsletter updates are very useful for keeping up with current issues and changes to policies.

Cons

  • Search can be hard, I sometimes have to google the template I need to find it.
  • There could be more staff contract templates; intern (as a worker), for instance, wasn't there, so I had to google one online.
  • Could have Webinars and more information for HR professionals.
  • Templates for Wellbeing plans would be good (I used Mind's in the end).
  • The training slides are sometimes not brilliant, often on long power points with a few words per slide, The content is great just needs updating.
  • Templates for PDR's, 121's, Risk Assessments etc would be very useful.
  • Excellent for templates; I changed briefly to another product but came back as this (expert at the time) was better.
  • Great for saving time in researching.
  • Great it gives legal cases in the templates as well, very helpful.
I use the policies to ensure we are compliant with current legislation, and I am constantly updating ours to be in line with Brightmines updates.
As before, I update our policies in accordance with any updates Brightmine produces when there are legal changes. The same goes for letters/templates, etc.
I used this for a year as it is much cheaper. I found it didn't have the variety of information Brightmine has, so I returned to Brightmine.

Would you buy Brightmine again?

Yes

Great updates and templates if you want to keep up with current changes and policy updates. Search/contracts could be better (more options needed). Also, a way to share policies with people who don't have a log-in would be great, e.g., if I wanted to forward an article to my MD.
