With the help of BambooHR we can leverage analytics and benchmarking data extracted from employee records to enhance aspects such, as organizational charts and learning paths.

Accessible, to administrators and leaders these data driven best practices empower us to make decisions effortlessly

What do you dislike most about this product?

Setting up workflows, forms and shared templates and gaining approval, from offices requires dedicated attention, effective change management and support from leaders. It's important to recognize that not all remote cultures will readily adopt procedures, which can affect the success of implementation. Companies should invest in communication and comprehensive training for administrators for coordinating changes, across different languages and regions

Begin with the trial to evaluate how well the integrations work with your payroll, document sharing and other essential systems. This will help guarantee an uninterrupted flow of data

HR Backbone for a Heavy Industry Workforce

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

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
