Bamboo HR is extremely user friendly. Despite us recently changing to this new platform and having to relearn how to use the HR program, it was so easy to navigate and understand that little ti no training was needed.

BENEFITS CONSULTING ANALYST

Platform provides a sleek design and has a user-friendly interface for employees with onboarding, updating employee benefits, and personal data. As an analyst and administrator on the broker side, I find the need to request extra meetings/assistance with the direct HR administrators of all my clients on this platform. The limited reporting and lack of customization presents a frequent challenge. Requests for additional permissions are often required and the standard reports are too simplified with not much room for modification. 

Systems Engineer

It serves as an excellent, centralized system of record for the entire employee lifecycle. It brings much-needed structure to core human resources operations, provided your underlying data architecture and internal approval workflows are strictly governed.
