Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

We use it for the following:
- Storing delicate employee's documents such as T4s and Background checks
- For onboarding tasks
- For job postings
- For PTO requests

The main business problem for our company that BambooHR tackles really well is the need for having a platform where all of the HR tools can be found, and that it is easy to use. The learning curve on BambooHR is not that big. It is also affordable, as a small business we don't have a big budget for softwares and tools. However, once we started using BambooHR we noticed the importance and how useful it is. Now we cannot operate without it.

Pros

  • UX and UI navigation, easy to use
  • Employee specific documents
  • Onboarding tools for employees
  • Job posting tools

Cons

  • There should be an option of deleting an employee if you make a mistake
  • Easier to find and generate org chart
  • Easier way to organize reporting structures
  • It has considerably lowered our expenses in HR Admin staff implementing processes. Things that would take 4 hours before now take no time as BambooHR does it automatically.
  • It has saved the Managerial Team a lot of time on compliance documents
  • It has saved several hundreds of dollars on storage space and on documents location tracking.
It has clear instructions on navigation and buttons on where to click. It has also made it very clear for employees on where to upload documents.

It is also great that on the Dashboard it shows who is away for the day so it is clear for the Team who is not working at the moment.
Very helpful and quick responses. It is great to get help on urgent matters sometimes in a timely manner, even if it is over email.

The staff is also genuinely interested in helping you solve the issue that you might have.

No matter if the issue is with the software, or a question on how to use the system.
It has accurate provided a clear view on how much vacation time a staff has left and has used.

This is very important in our company as we have different employees with different PTO policies, depending on their start date, type of employee, etc.

I would say it would be great to have a more clear view of the org chart.

Would you buy BambooHR again?

Yes

We have had a lot of onboarding done in short periods of time as we hire coop students from universities. Once we had to onboard 20 employees in a span of one week so BambooHR made it very easy and smooth to have this done.

This allowed us to gather important documents from employees without having to keep tracking them down to submit their documents as BambooHR took care of it.
