Pros

“Transparency of the tool - easy to find what you are looking for as a user and as an admin.”

Magdalena N.

HR Generalist

“Simple to use, when introducing new employees to the system it is very self explanatory which makes it easier for both parties. Since connecting with an account manager, we have found out ways to utilise the system even more e.g. setting up workflows, so the system does work well in my opinion.”

Holly B.

HR and Recruitment Coordinator

“It offers greater capabilities than I am using and thanks to our rep, he is patient, knowledgeable and provides great service!”

McKeisha S.

HR LEADER

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

“It has many functions that I am not tapping into and not always seamless in navigating the tool if you don't use it often.”

McKeisha S.

HR LEADER

“the reporting I find hit and miss, and trial and error usually to obtain the information.”

Tracy B.

Executive Assistant

“The backend is not as user friendly as the front end.”

Chekea F.

Human Resource Coordinator

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
