Overall Satisfaction with Namely
We implemented Namely to streamline our on-boarding process. When I first started we had 20 employees, so manual forms, Google docs and lists weren't a big deal. By the time we finally decided to purchase Namely, we were 60-70 employees and the Google docs had become completely unmanageable. Important details were getting lost and it was impossible to continue to track. We started with only Namely's HRIS to manage on-boarding and have since expanded to use Benefits Administration and Payroll services. We are also working on getting the performance management piece up and running.
Pros
- Employee Feed - love this so everyone can stay up to date on everything.
- Time Off - We used to have time off requests sent to managers via Google calendar. It got a little crazy when trying to look at the managers' calendars because they became littered with "OOO" events that they weren't actually attending! Namely has also made it much easier to track time off instead of trying to estimate/email and see how much time had been taken.
- On-boarding - LOVE on-boarding. This makes it so much better for employees to input all of their information in one place and not have to worry about downloading attachments and scanning/emailing it back. Namely also is more secure than the email chains with important personal data.
- E-signatures - We used to have a hard time getting new hires to fill out forms (chasing them down) and then having to manually scan them in and add them to profiles. Now, it is all done through the on-boarding template and it is great!
Cons
- Offer Letter E-Signature - There is no way to have offer letters done through Namely and e-signed. (Although, we are SUPER HAPPY they added the ability to e-sign tax forms such as the I-9 and W-4!)
- Roles & Permissions: the interface for roles and permissions isn't especially user friendly. Although, it can be figured out, I wish it were simpler to use and understand. I have had to email support multiple times to figure out the exact configuration to allow what I need.
- There isn't the best integration with Namely Payroll and HRIS. There is still a bit of manual work for the payroll administrator. I hope they will make this connection a bit more seamless to eliminate even more manual entry.
- Employees now have one place to go for all of their needs! With one system, they can see their paystubs (Namely Payroll), view and enroll/adjust benefits (Benefits Admin) and update any of their personal information (HRIS). This has made it much easier to everyone to manage
- Our open enrollment in Dec 2015 was much smoother than in the past. Employees were able to easily walk through the process and had full, detailed, explanations of what they were enrolling in and the cost
- BambooHR and PeopleMatter
We chose Namely because it has the option to expand all of our services under them. Due to having so much confusion with many different vendors for everything and never knowing who the point of contact was, and employees having to remember and keep up with a bunch of different things, this was huge for us. Namely was also very responsive and accommodating for what we needed and we loved working with them!
