Overall Satisfaction with Namely

We used Namely as our HR system for our global organization and the payroll system for our US based employees. Namely encourages employees to engage with each other by providing a social aspect to the homepage, similar to LinkedIn or Facebook. As a global organization, this allows employees to congratulate peers for anniversaries, birthdays or to welcome a new hire. We also utilize the benefit administration piece of Namely and feedback from our employees was that it was the easiest enrollment they ever completed.
  • Employee engagement
  • Benefit enrollment
  • Onboarding
  • No integrated applicant tracking system
  • Direct deposit and tax information is not employee self-service driven
  • Positively assisted in communicating with employees
  • Timely data analysis for end of year reporting
Namely's reporting capabilities are easier to utilize. Also, compliance maintenance has been maintained since implementation.
Namely is a system designed for small to mid-size organizations currently. As they continue to increase functionality, the system will work for most size organizations.
