Simplify HR with award-winning solutions for everything from hire to retire.

We founded BambooHR in 2008 with a mission to set people free to do great work—a mission that continues to guide us today. We empower HR pros, employees, and organizations everywhere to simplify complicated processes and streamline time-consuming tasks, so they can focus on supporting their people, thriving in their roles, and growing their business.

People are the key to business success.

Employee experience is at the heart of an organization’s success. Business growth and longevity, customer loyalty, employee retention and engagement—all of these depend on creating and delivering an exceptional employee experience.

With the help of our cloud-based HR platform, HR pros and leaders can spend more time on people and less time on paperwork. We automate the transactional and help capture the power of people data to boost the impact of strategic HR and help build a thriving work environment.

How we succeed matters.

Our values inform everything we do at BambooHR—they set the standard for how we communicate and how we act. We’re proud of how our values guide the way we do business and the way we interact with our customers and each other every day.

  • Assume the best: We communicate openly, starting from a place of mutual respect and assuming others have good intentions. We seek to hear other perspectives, understand them, and act out of a desire to do what’s best for the company, our customers, and one another.

  • Be open: Openness and candor lead to efficiency and growth. Being upfront and authentic solves problems faster and enriches relationships, so we strive to give and receive feedback openly. Never wait until tomorrow to say what will make us stronger today.

  • Do the right thing: BambooHR is exceptional, and we must be exceptional to work here. Every day, each of us makes decisions that affect the company, our teammates, and our customers. Our potential to impact each group is enormous. That’s why we must be thoughtful, deliberate, and principled in our decisions—no matter how inconvenient or difficult they are.

  • Enjoy quality of life: We care about doing quality work and showing up for our team and customers, and we make time for our families, friends, and communities. Home life, work life—it’s all life! And we strive to live it well.

  • Grow from good to great: From the very beginning, BambooHR has been determined to create a better business and product, in a better way. We believe in intentional and exceptional growth—for ourselves, our product, and our company—and we’re never satisfied with the status quo.

  • Lead from where you are: As we strive to master how we communicate and how we work, we’re qualified to lead. When we see opportunities to make BambooHR better, we're proactive and use our influence in positive ways—regardless of our position. People follow leaders, not titles.

  • Make it count: We believe making our time here count is how we grow from good to great and enjoy a high quality of life. Hard work and sustained focus got us here, and it’s the only way forward. We go all in, master our craft, and make an impact because we know great work requires great effort.
