Overall Satisfaction with Brightmine

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The HR team utilise the guidance and legal timetables, as well as workflows. I like the email updates which give me regular reminders of news trends and updates. The platform that was Cendex is used for our job evaluation and pay benchmarking and the other surveys and whitepapers give us valuable insights into key statistics and trends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Keeping updated with legislation and HR trends and news
Real time pay data
Templates and guides

Cons

I'd like the job functions to be more up to date with technologic trends and movement - i.e AI roles, and DevOps
I'd like to see more Technology data in Cendex to benchmark my company against
I'd love to see a chatbot

Return on Investment

It reduces my spend on employment lawyers
Saves us time researching certain topics
It saves me time and money not having to create documents from scratch
It gives me a head start in developing training with downloaded templates I can adapt

HR Guidance

Brightmine is my sensor check on many things, I regularly check in on the legal timetable, the email updates keep me abreast and remind me what's coming up, and inform of new areas I may need to focus on. It's been a tool that also helped to develop my team, saving me time having to go through certain topics with them. So all in all it's been and continues to be positive.

HR Compliance

Same as before really, Brightmine is a go to tool for me for up to date compliance, news and trends and sometimes just a sanity check.

Alternatives Considered

CIPD HR-inform

I honestly haven't found anything similar, only CIPD but that's quite different in terms of its offering.

Likelihood to Recommend

I've used Brightmine for many years, both in businesses and as a consultant, it provides up to date HR insights, templates, tools, it's just a great go to platform instead of searching the web or spending money on an employment lawyer. The job evaluation and pay benchmarking tool suits our business as an SME as its not too complex and is a simple way of job matching roles and ensuring we are competitive in the market. The Gapsquare gender pay tool is the only one I struggle with, I would prefer more guidance and maybe pop up explanations/chat bot to help me navigate the data.
