Meet Jawanna Ellis

Senior Manager, Human Resources, Admin and Operations at Cancer Support Community

See how having HR, payroll, and benefits administration in one system saves Cancer Support Community valuable time and money for their nonprofit.

“BambooHR® has made my life easier by bringing everything together into one HR platform. I can complete payroll, benefits administration, timekeeping, performance management, and more all in one place. BambooHR is so user-friendly, helps me save time, and is a joy to use!”

— Jawanna Ellis

By the numbers

  • Complete payroll in under 1 hour
  • Benefits administration elections managed in just 2 hours
  • Less time spent answering questions with Ask BambooHR®

Challenges

Slow, difficult payroll software
“When I first started, CSC wasn't using BambooHR® Payroll, and I really pushed for us to adopt it. Our previous platform made it really difficult and time-consuming to run payroll. When BambooHR added their own payroll, I definitely knew we needed it.”

Complex tax filing
“CSC has employees in 27 states, so we’re always adding new tax accounts. It was a big hassle handling differing tax laws across states. BambooHR has helped me make sure we stay compliant as we add new accounts to our payroll. They’re on top of it!”

Time-consuming benefits administration process

“Before BambooHR, it would take a whole day to process open enrollment elections and make changes in the system. And I would have to make those changes on the payroll side and send the information to our broker.”

Solutions

One system for everything HR
“When it comes to HR and payroll management, it’s great having everything in one platform, all together in BambooHR. It’s easier to track and maintain employee data and it’s more efficient for running payroll.”

More confidence and ease filing taxes
“I am very confident in BambooHR's ability to handle my taxes and keep CSC compliant. It is so easy to upload our tax information, and I know forms are being submitted on time. BambooHR has been a game-changer when it comes to handling our taxes and staying compliant. BambooHR makes running payroll a joy instead of a dreaded task.”

A seamless system eliminates the potential for errors
“Because BambooHR has benefits administration and payroll in one system, it eliminates gray areas where there could be errors. I go through and review when people make changes to their elections, but once they’re submitted and approved, they flow right into payroll. I don’t have to go into another system or another page. Benefits flowing directly into payroll is just so much better.”

Onboarding employees love
“Our employees love the onboarding and offboarding features in BambooHR. I’ve had numerous employees at CSC tell me that this is the best onboarding experience they’ve ever had. It’s so seamless and easy to navigate, and there isn’t a whole bunch of paperwork.”

AI help feature saves HR time
“We have a small HR department, so having Ask BambooHR definitely alleviates a lot of back and forth with people. Employees can type in questions and get the answer they’re looking for, rather than message me at 8 PM. Ask BambooHR is a hub for everything in our policies—benefits, time management, payroll, and more.”

Employee Community better connects employees
“We have topics for professional development, an HR corner, CSC news, and more. I love BambooHR® Employee Community and so do our employees. And I like that I can see if people have read information I send out and keep people on the same page. This is a feature I think most people would appreciate if they choose to sign up for Pro.”

Total Rewards gives employees the full picture

“We’ve received positive feedback on Total Rewards. Employees like seeing a breakdown of everything included in their compensation. Total Rewards helps us stay competitive and retain employees.”
