Overall Satisfaction with Namely

We use Namely to complete all payroll, benefits administration, and workforce management analysis. It is primarily managed by the HR Team, but we have fully implemented it across the organization for employee and manager self-service. We have been able to increase our transparency via the communication tools and employees now have access to their own data.
  • Easy to use payroll process. You don't have to be a payroll expert to run a successful payroll.
  • One of the best benefits administration systems I've come across. Provides transparency of cost for the employee and the employer.
  • The news feed is great for sharing across the organization what is going on.
  • They need to enhance their time off system. It is very simplistic in nature. If you don't have a tier based time off rewards system you should be fine, otherwise you will run into challenges.
  • There is some dual keying between the HCM and Payroll products. There is a plan to integrate this, but for now it does open you up for errors.
  • We were able to re-deploy a full-time payroll headcount to a professional level HR headcount with focus on people programs versus payroll processing.
Namely is a great solution for flexible organizations that are small to mid-sized. This is not a traditional HR system, so the team in charge would need to be comfortable with creativity and different ways to use the product.
