Overall Satisfaction with Namely
Namely is currently used as our HR system for all employees. Employees use Namely to view their historical pay data (including bonuses). Managers and executives use the personnel data in Namely to run reports. Before Namely, we weren't able to keep all of our employees (since the beginning of The Motley Fool) under one system. Now we can run reports and gather data since our company was founded. We also use Namely Payroll for two of our entities. The pay stubs are much easier to read than our old system and payroll itself is much easier to process.
- Namely can be customized very easily. We are able to track any data point that we would like and report on it.
- I love how as an admin, I'm able to log in as other employees and make sure they have access to the right data. I can also create reports for employees that they will always have access to and can run whenever they need to.
- Namely also looks pretty. The site looks clean. It's easy to navigate. Employees enjoy logging in and utilizing Namely.
- Currently, we are only able to enter three earnings codes in Namely payroll. We've discussed this with Namely and it is on their list of items to fix in the future.
- We would like to be able to change a few of the hard coded items on the main page of Namely. For example, we would want to change "Anniversaries" to "Fooliversaries."
- I'd love to see access to paystubs be part of the mobile app.
- Transparency is a big at the Fool. Namely has increased transparency for employees. With Namely employees can more easily see their salary history, they can see the benefits they are enrolled in, and they can see what is coming out of their paycheck and why.
- On the benefits side of HR, we used to have two employees. One recently left (since implementing Namely) and we didn't have to back-fill because the benefits workload is that much more manageable.
- At the Fool, we are always changing. We have re-org'd so many times I couldn't even count in the 10 years I've been with the Fool and we've changed our processes even more times. Namely makes it easy to capture new data and report on it. Namely also makes it easy to update personnel changes.
- Paychex, Zenefits, Paylocity and Red Carpet
Namely was so far and above the other payroll/HR vendors. The ability to customize Namely so extensively was what really sold us on Namely. And now, the special features Namely has, such as the ability to 'view as' other employees and work in Namely as them has made that a must-have with any other system we would ever look at. (We're not even thinking of looking right now.)
