My current company uses Bamboo as a true HRIS and ATS system. We also use it for employee engagement, including Goal setting and performance reviews. It is beneficial to have all employee information and data in one platform. Also, the notifications to remind you of birthdays and anniversaries, announce new hires and generate reports are engaging.

BambooHR is an excellent HR platform

We use BambooHR to keep track of all our employees personal information, their job and pay history, managing time off, onboarding and offboarding, employee satisfaction and review surveys, and we recently started using Employee Community to create interest groups to encourage social connections in the workplace. We also frequently use the reports feature to compile data on our company.

Hammond & Associates uses Bamboo HR for all of our onboarding, employee record keeping, PTO maintenance, and Performance Management. All of this was done manually before. Absurd? Yes, I know. Now, we are time-efficient, records are in order, and as the HR Manager, I can concentrate on issues that require my time. It saves us, not just time but money as well. Our resources are more appropriately aligned with our company goals and values.

We use it for timekeeping, benefits, hiring, onboarding, offboarding, and payroll. I am a one person HR department, and it has greatly reduced the number of hours it takes to get things done. It offers a platform where I can work in conjunction with my managers by sharing resumes and updates on candidates, keep notes on employees, and give employees access to a transparent, self-service timekeeping and time off module.

We love BambooHR.

We use BambooHR for our HRIS system and payroll. This is our first HRIS system, and it has made my life in HR so much easier. We can now track changes seamlessly, and payroll is so much easier. We are able to allow employees to update their personal information and access their pay information and leave time.
