Pros

“It accurately stores all of my documents since I have first been at the business and I am able to easily track my days off and holiday which enables me to plan effectively”

Daniel H.

Group FPA Manager

“There are so many helpful processed and features, such as onboarding checklists, sending reminders in document tracking, performance review forms and many more. Once you get used to the system our processes are better streamlined.”

Yuki Y.

HR Advisor

“we also like the fact that we have used the system to automate a lot of manual processes such as our appraisal, exit interviews, probationary reviews etc.”

Jayne B.

HR Director

Pros

“The holiday management, document storage and e-signature features are particularly useful, and the platform has saved us a considerable amount of administrative time.”

Ben D.

Charity Manager

“BrightHR is an amazing for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features that streamline HR processes, including time management, document storage, and employee self-service.”

Ikponmwosa O.

Business development manager

“The platform covers everything we need in one place – from time tracking to secure document storage – which saves us both time and admin costs.”

Stacey L.

Director Owner

Cons

“This is somewhat of a dubious "Con", but from my own experience there can be so many different fields and sub-headings that the amount of information stored can be difficult to navigate quickly - as an example, finding annual leave remaining is behind multiple menus and there is an abundance of data/info which can be "noisy" when looking for something specific.”

Lewis M.

Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

“Also i feel sometimes things are over complicated, and there's niche aspects that need to be remembered to successfully manage the HRIS”

Emmie S.

People Coordinator

“Sometimes difficult to find this due to no text on sidebar icons.”

Alex H.

Marketing Manager

Cons

“Its early days so no great concerns, other than in terms of annual leave, the system does not allow to put in exact dates for employees on fixed term contracts.”

Julie M.

Executive Assistant

“There are some mandatory features and tasks that needs to be added to the Bright safe(health and safety component of the system ) like the CQC compliance updates, basic care plans and assessments templates for domiciliary care providers ,daily tasks & some other stuffs which makes it incomplete and the system can not be rated as ALL IN ONE.”

Evelyn I.

Registered Manager

“There were a couple of updates and processes that could have been communicated more clearly, and sometimes it took a little time to get information sorted.”

Sneha G.

Practice Manager
