Setting up workflows, forms and shared templates and gaining approval, from offices requires dedicated attention, effective change management and support from leaders.

Companies should invest in communication and comprehensive training for administrators for coordinating changes, across different languages and regions

HR Backbone for a Heavy Industry Workforce
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?
BambooHR works for us because it centralizes core HR functions in a single platform. With thousands of employees in multiple states, we need consistent data across recruiting, time-off, and compliance records.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Its onboarding workflows are an absolute beast in the sense that they move new hires from offer acceptance to first-day readiness without manual chasing. For our refinery hires, this has cut onboarding time by almost a week
What do you dislike most about this product?
The reporting templates could better accommodate union-specific metrics, like grievance tracking or apprenticeship ratios. Also, the performance review module feels light compared to what we need for technical roles.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Customize fields early to reflect industry-specific data points, such as certifications and safety clearances. And integrate BambooHR with your payroll system from the start — running parallel systems in energy operations creates headaches quickly
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Effective Service
- Inspires Innovation
- Saves Time
