Watch BambooHR in Action
Overview
Dashboard: The dashboard serves as your home base. Quickly see the recent employees you've added, files uploaded, or reports created. View upcoming employee birthdays or employment anniversaries so you don't miss a chance to celebrate. And, keep an eye on your overall headcount with an eye-popping pie chart!
Custom Tables and Fields and Tabs Oh My!
Can you track shirt size? No problem! How about stock options? Yep! Secondary language? Piece of cake. We know you have specific data that you need in the core system of record. BambooHR customizes fields, tables, and tabs to meet all your data tracking needs. Common customizations that we’ve seen include license and certification data for compliance, asset tracking, skills tracking, and educational history.
Look, Feel, and Layout: BambooHR is YOUR core system of record. So, we added some cool features like the ability for you to design the layout of your site with modular drag-and-drop functionality. Almost every part of the system is created to give you the opportunity to categorize and order the information to help you be most efficient. And if course, it looks great too!
Employee Record: BambooHR helps you track all the standard employee information, including addresses, phone numbers, dependents, emergency contacts, salary and position history, and even notes. But there's more. We can also add custom fields to help you track data that is unique to your company. Favorite candy bar? Easy. Boot or shirt size? No problem.
Employee Self-Service: How many hours a week do you spend chasing down data for an employee? (It's okay, you're not alone.) But that's about to end! Cut down the hours of data administration and let the employee get what they need when they need it including the following info: company documents, time off balances, benefit data, training info, links to key websites, personal info, and more!
Email Alerts: When we help a company go from 35% training compliance to 95%, you know we've done something right. Employees and managers can never say "I didn't know" because our custom alerts will tell them with easy-to-create alerts for benefit eligibility, birthdays, performance reviews, licenses and insurance expirations, and about anything else you can think of.
PTO/Leave Tracking: Say goodbye to your vacation tracking spreadsheets, and say hello to an easy way to track and manage employee leave. Employees can request time off, managers can approve or decline the requests, and BambooHR tracks accruals, balances, and more.
Training Tracking: Staying on top of training requirements for your workforce can be difficult and time consuming. BambooHR makes it super easy to track one-time and renewing training. You can set due dates and alerts to monitor things closely. Plus, we can display the training status for your employees when they log in so they can take responsibility for completing their own requirements. Yep, this will save you a few hours …or a few hundred!
Benefit Tracking: Easily track eligibility and enrollment dates, plans and coverage selected, and employee and company contributions. We also keep a history of all changes made so you see at a glance who signed up for which and when. Oh, and don't forget about our benefit eligibility alerts!
Online Document Storage: Store your company forms, applications, training docs, health forms, employee handbooks, performance reviews, and much more in your own secure, online system. Now all your locations will have the most current version, and managers won't have to call you asking where it is. Plus, you can even share files and documents with employees so they have access to the forms they need, when they need them.
Benefits
If your company is still tracking employee data in spreadsheets and needs a more organized method for managing HR processes, BambooHR should be on the shortlist of systems you consider. The software delivers detailed employee records, customized reports, employee self-service and other tools HR professionals need to automate administrative tasks.
This Software-as-a-Service solution provides real-time access to your data and, as a BambooHR client, you will benefit from frequent upgrades and new product releases. What we like best about this software is the super clean interface. The platform is incredibly easy to navigate and learn plus BambooHR is flexible enough to meet the unique needs of all types of companies. Whether you need PTO tracking, assistance with compliance issues, deeper reporting or payroll integration, BambooHR can be tailored to your business needs.
Because it is so easy to use, the solution can be utilized by any member of the organization, from employee to executive, or limited to only those in the company that need it. Any facet of the organization buried under spreadsheets will definitely appreciate its streamlined, intuitive workflow.
Serving industries throughout the northern US and Canada, this software is a great fit for companies with 50 to 500 employees across most vertical markets. It is a particularly good fit for those companies in the non-profit and high tech industries.
Some specific benefits:
Empowerment - Nobody knows your business as well as you! So we give you the ability to make changes to almost every part of the system in the Manage area of your account. No need to call IT, an HR consultant, or anyone else and ask for their assistance! You easily control key company data with a friendly interface that walks you through any change you need to make.
Also, for the more technical oriented organizations - the API is an incredible advantage for In-House Customizations. The BambooHR API allows our customers’ internal technical teams to access employee data to support their internal needs and processes. This solution is also excellent for creating unique internal workflows, business intelligence software syncing, and reporting needs.
In summary, BambooHR drastically reduces the time, cost, and complexity of managing and maintaining your employee data.

Robust and affordable HR software
Review by Michele Nachum on 2012-01-19
Never before had I considered Human Ressources software (which in this case is online and being delivered via the cloud) inspirational. But the team behind BambooHR is comprised of happy, passionate professionals who desire nothing more than to help other human resources (HR) professionals manage the mountain of paperwork and procedures most HR departments are forced to endure.
Like many cloud-based HR programs, BambooHR allows all employees to have access to the software — but at different permission levels. For example, an employee may have access to his or her “page” with salary, benefit and training information, not to mention forms for time off, etc. A manager might have access to their own page as well as their teams’ information and higher level management as well as HR personnel may have access to a greater number of employee data. BambooHR lets you customize your views and users permissions and will help you set up your dashboards in a way that makes you feel the most comfortable.
A Satisfied Customer!
Review by Carolyn Hennessey on 2011-12-06
I recently transitioned our Company to BambooHR and I have never looked back to my previous HRIS provider. From the first meeting with Ben to my most recent customer service call , I have received impeccable service. I am impressed with the options of the technology, the flexiblitiy of personalizing the software to meet our company's needs and the "easy to use" application for administrators and employees. Last week, we completed our first online benefit open enrollment with TRAXPayroll. The interface between BambooHR and TRAX was seamless. The online enrollment process was new to me also, but I felt supported the entire way. The feedback from our employees was all positive and they were so happy to get rid of the paper! The staff at BambooHR are professionals. They are friendly and they find solutions for the real life HR questions/processes that inevitably come up everyday.
Good HR solution for SMBs
Review by Nancy Herrera on 2011-11-14
BambooHR is a SaaS that offers solutions for HR and organizes tasks that HR departments need to do on a regular basis. With your user account you can keep detailed employee records which can be customized to suit your needs. The software allows a self-serve option for their employees and time off requests can also be managed through BambooHR. From a usability point of view I can recommend the software as well because of its streamlined and intuitive design.
