We recently launched a fun little feature and a very useful report.  Take a look! Color Scheme Now you can make BambooHR match your company colors.  Go to Mange > Color Scheme and play with the color palette to find something that works for your organization.  It’s easy and fun!  Note: The color scheme selected…Continue Reading

We have a bundle of new features and updates for you! Lots of exciting things are on the way, but it’s always fun to get things into your hands as soon as they’re done (oh, the beauty of software-as-a-service!) Files Tab Once you are logged in, click on the Files tab to explore some neat…Continue Reading

Last night, we launched a change in our report tool to allow employee photos as a field in reports.  This will make it easier to see who’s missing photos. Or you can create a report for your executives to put names with faces.  Or adding photos to reports might simply serve as a reminder that…Continue Reading

The add/edit report page was due for an update.  We like making reports and we think there are others who like making reports too.  So what could be better than making it easier to make reports?

To share…Continue Reading
