Spotsaas Editor’s POV

BrightHR is built on a support model where onboarding and troubleshooting rely heavily on direct staff interaction. Training sessions cover core features like BrightSafe and Blip, but the platform's learning curve depends on access to that support team—staff like Natasha, Holly, Erica, Joy, and Jason handle most issue resolution. Before shortlisting, verify that ...Read more

What do you like best about BrightHR? The employee handbook is a good starting point. The clock in feature is simple and the expense feature is great. What do you dislike about BrightHR? The calendar feature does not have GPS for service workers, the clock in feature does not have an adequate mapping feature nor auto clock out. The sales pitch had custom policies - not what is actually provided. The apps for clocking in and expenses are great, but having multiple apps is a bit of a pain. ...

What do you like best about BrightHR? Information is really well presented and layout of the system is easy to navigate What do you dislike about BrightHR? We really benefit from receiving feedback on existing policy documents, however this has been really hard to access. I have requested appointments multiple times and I never seem to get a call back at the time I ask for. Even if I give a generous timeframe, I still don't get a call on time. I often have to follow up with the service ...

What do you like best about BrightHR? The ease of keeping track. As a manager, I am able to keep track of my department and make sure they're all upto date on documents, leave and clocking in. Integrations with other apps like blip is great and seamless. The interface makes it very easy to use as well. What do you dislike about BrightHR? Cannot fault the programme at all. Works really well

Review for Natasha Okparavero on BrightSafe Presentation I recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Natasha Okparavero on how to use BrightSafe, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. Natasha demonstrated exceptional expertise and a deep understanding of the BrightSafe platform, making the session incredibly informative and engaging. From the moment she began, it was clear that Natasha was well-prepared and passionate about the subject matter. She effortlessly ...
