Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between BambooHR Core and Pro?

BambooHR Pro includes everything in Core, plus:

  • Performance Management: Manager/employee 1:1s and performance assessments, 360° feedback, goal tracking, and performance reporting
  • Employee Community: Internal announcements, interest groups, and shoutouts
  • 15 Compliance Training Courses: Curated courses covering compliance and workplace skills, including harassment and discrimination prevention, cyber security, workplace safety, and more
  • Upgraded AI Assistant: Answer employee questions about policies, handbooks, benefits, and more.

What are performance management best practices?

As you create and implement a performance management program, remember these four performance management best practices:

  • Frequent and timely: Ongoing, prompt feedback that’s relevant, constructive, and actionable helps employees identify what to improve on and how to do it.
  • Balanced: Manager reviews, self-assessments, and feedback from teammates, direct reports, and customers or vendors (when relevant) provide different perspectives on an employee’s performance, so you get a more complete picture than with a single evaluation.
  • Automated: Automated employee performance cycles take the busywork out of performance management. BambooHR helps you automate review schedules, data collection and analysis, and follow-ups.
  • People-centered: Positive, genuine relationships between employees and leadership foster a culture of growth and accountability. Relationship-building, mentorship, and communication are key to consistently high performance.

Who is Employee Community for?

Employee Community is for businesses looking to improve their internal communications and foster engagement and connection among employees. Using Employee Community, HR can easily create groups for departments, topics, teams, or employees with similar interests, making sending announcements and updates a snap. Employees can also create their own posts (if you allow them to), like and comment on posts, and acknowledge that they’ve read important announcements.
