BambooHR is a user friendly Human Resource software solution that lets you proactively manage employee information, rather than just track it with spreadsheets.
BambooHR’s personalised HRIS (human resource information system) provides a way to consolidate all employee and HR related data and manage it with ease. The software can be used to construct a centralized database of employee profiles, which can be accessed by any employee that has previously defined custom access permissions. Each profile is able to store personal information and a photo, as well as data on benefits, salary, time off, documents, and training etc. One really cool feature of BambooHR is these profiles can be edited, so you can add custom fields and record important information that is unique to your company.
Time-Off ManagementAs your employees can be given customized access to your company’s HRIS, it lets them view and update their information when they need to. A great feature of BambooHR is that the system is designed to let employees request time off, see what their entitlements are, and view the staff calendar to see when other employees have booked time off. For Managers BambooHR is a great solution, which gives them the ability to fully manage their team with ease. Managers can approve time-off requests, and generate custom time off reports, add time off policies and set accrual levels.
