In the past, we managed all this information using Excel. Switching to BambooHR made it easier to access the information. It's easier to use and share reports. I can allow people to do their own reports so they don't need to deal with HR. BambooHR puts everything into one place, so I don't have to comb through several Excel files to collect all the information I need to make a report.

I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company. We are a very big company, we have quite a number of staff. I can search for any staff member in BambooHR, whether they are on leave, when they joined the company, or when they are going to celebrate their anniversary.

I can access information from the company directory where people can get information and share news about the company. Unlike on Kissflow, which is majorly for approval when requesting resources, we can log our leave on BambooHR.

This solution has helped our HR team keep track of everybody's annual leave. The calendar makes scheduling around team members leave a lot easier. 

This product has made my job easier in that I am able to be more effective when it comes to making critical decisions with staffing, promotes, etc.

We are able to better track our employees’ trainings, PTO, etc. So we work much more efficiently.

It provides great applicant tracking and documentation for our needs.

It is good for keeping most of our HR functions online and available for our small and nimble office.

It allows us to share emergency contact information with fellow staff members decreasing the time to get hold of emergency contact persons if needed.

We have become much more thorough about keeping documents and paperwork properly, and ensuring we have the correct documents for everyone. It has also allowed us to report on things easily, e.g., sickness records and keeping a track of holiday.

The time off request is the official way to request for time off in this company. However, if we compare the accrual balance days from Bamboo versus real days, sometimes we have to reconcile it by manual adjustment.

BambooHR has streamlined HR for us. We are an SME and growing rapidly. BambooHR has helped us keep on top of HR, which is essential.

Our company has many employees who have temporary contracts and/or work permits. It's made my life much easier having BambooHR email alerts set up to ensure I schedule renewals before the necessary deadlines. We also use email alerts so that we know when probation periods are about to expire and as a heads up for upcoming birthdays and anniversaries. Keeping track of vacation and sick days is now a lot easier, as well as calculating vacation balances in the future. Giving staff the self-service option has really helped our staff take ownership of their leave balances.

It has given our operations team immense value. The departments most impacted are HR, finance, and IT.

All of the employee information is centralized in one space and can be accessed whenever we want it. Team members can create custom reports for any data they want to extract and run those reports when they need to.

There is no more confusion around what information finance has versus what information HR has. It is streamlined and centralized and this saves the organization in efficiency in a huge way.

We used to use spreadsheets for everything from tracking contract end dates to time off. This has made everyone's lives easier.

• Time-off tracking tool
• Central place for company files like a handbook of benefits guide

It provides one place to document all employee information; no Excel tables are needed anymore.

Saves loads of time, because every manager can create a report by themselves.

Integration with other systems saves time because we can have automated processes.

BambooHR has streamlined our new hire process by setting deadlines for the new hire and the hiring manager. The new hire gets introduced to the whole staff be for they start!

It automates a lot of manual processes that we had and also automates communication between HR and people managers. We are able to communicate new starters and leavers to payroll with all their information automatically and to remind managers what needs to be done for them. We are also able to share reports with any business function that needs them.

It has improved our record-keeping abilities. We can easily search for documents pertaining to employees. Employees are able to record their goals and receive feedback from their managers/peers.

We are also able to use the calendar function to track vacation days and personal holidays.

It has given us a single source of data and has given our employees a central hub for their information. Employees can now access everything for themselves instead of calling HR.

The system has helped me personally with tracking of candidates for job opportunities and has helped streamline the process of candidate reviews with our executives.

We are now able to see who is in the office and who isn’t. We have better vacation tracking for employees and it’s easier to find who is an active or inactive employee (since a lot of our employees are project specific and are not in the head office, etc.).

It made the HR department more flexible. We can track employee records and trace the reports.

Onboarding efficiency was increased.

I think it is just easiest to sign electronically and focus on the ease-of-use. It is very simplistic and allows everyone full transparency.
