Overall Satisfaction with Brightmine
We mostly use Brightmine for templates and training materials. We have a new line manager training programme being produced and the content from Brightmine has helped a lot. The templates are also useful because it is a good starting point, however I do find some of the wording can be a little too formal and cold.
Pros
- Range of content is great
- The navigating of the online portal is easy
- The training material content is also very useful and a great starting point
Cons
- I'm not sure that their legal advice line is as effective as it could be, it would be better to have an assigned one or two professionals to an account. We actually removed the advice line on last renewal.
- The wording in policies and especially templates can feel cold and very formal.
- Their pricing feels quite high for the library.
- Saves us lots of time because we're not starting the documents and training from scratch
HR & Compliance centre - we use the document templates, training content and employment law updates the most. We use to have the legal advice line but I felt like it wasn't as useful as it could be. Most HR cases have an element of complexity that requires a legal person to listen to and fully understand which can take a few conversations as to what the situation is, what the background is, what the risk is and what action is recommended. The legal advice is very surface level which is not worth the fee. We removed the Legal Line on our last renewal.
It saves me a lot of time and can be useful to our more junior HR Advisor to read and search for things thus increase their knowledge.
I have an account manager that is very responsive, not sure if that's the same as a customer success person. I've only ever has contact with our account manager and he tends to check in during our subscription period and when it's coming up for renewal. I haven't really had any issues with the online portal for what we use it for.
HR Inform's documents are written a little better but there is less choice, they are similar in pricing however you can get a discount is you are a CIPD member which is attractive. It would be good if Brightmine can partner with the HR Ninjas very large network and give discounts to members, this would definitely drive subscriptions up for Brightmine and increase their presence.
