BrightBase is our library of HR and health & safety documents and templates that you can download on the web or your mobile. If you’ve signed up to access BrightBase, then you also have access to our unlimited document storage system which you can find out more about here.
All BrightHR users who sign up for our Protect or Prime packages receive access to BrightBase.
That’s in addition to the end-to-end HR and/or health & safety software solutions and 24/7 advice. So, that means you not only receive document templates that are up to date with employment and health & safety regulations, but you also have a team of experts available over the phone to answer your questions and make sure you’re doing the right thing. So, you never need to waste your time on uncertainty.
Check out the packages we have on offer at our pricing journey or simply book a demo with our experienced agents to learn more about getting the right tools and services your business needs.
This will depend on your industry and the type of new employee you’re onboarding.
For any employee, however, you’ll need a written document that clearly lays out your working relationship. You can make sure you’re getting your documentation right with the help of BrightBase document templates, our 24/7 employment relations advice helpline, and our secure storage system backing up your important documents.
The best way to manage your HR documentation is to do it digitally. Manual, paper-based systems will only slow you down and make it easier to miss things and fall out of date with employment relation changes.
With BrightHR, you can access BrightBase with our complete collection of HR and health & safety documents and templates as well as unlimited, secure document storage.
If your HR admin takes hours out of your day, there’s a reason why. It’s important to get it right.
Downloading standalone templates can result in your documentation being out of date and could even lead to you paying out in fines, penalties, or lawyer’s fees to try and set your business back on track.
That’s why at BrightHR we give you complete people management solutions that slash your HR admin time in half while making sure you get it right. So, we don’t just give you a library of HR documents, templates, and health & safety documents. You also get access to a secure document storage system and 24/7 access to a team of experts on our confidential phone line. We have your back every step of the way.
You already know that effective people management means taking care of both HR as well as the health & safety of your staff. And hunting for standalone document templates is likely wasting your time and costing you a fortune.
At BrightHR, we give you everything you need in one place while making sure you’re not paying extra for services you don’t need or want.
You can sign up for our Protect HR package for our HR document library or our Protect health & safety package to access our health & safety document library. For those who want both HR and health & safety document templates our best package, Prime is exactly what you need.
Each of our end-to-end software packages are designed to give you what you need, nothing more and nothing less. That’s why they’re all packed with software, tools, and free resources.
Check out everything you get in our software packages at our pricing journey here, or book your free demo with our software experts for a personal chat about the best fit for you.
