BambooHR brings strategic HR guidance alongside its platform. 3 hours ago Enhanced practice spans HR Consulting, Managed Payroll, and Technical Services, delivered by BambooHR's own HR and platform experts BambooHR(R), the leading People Intelligence Platform for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced BambooHR Expert Services, an expansion of its software model that moves the company from powering HR work to doing it alongside customers. "The hardest part of HR usually isn't the doing, it's the deciding. And right now, that's harder than ever - work is changing, HR's role is changing, the tools are changing," said Tara Martell, Chief Customer Officer. "Our customers don't need another report sitting in their inbox. They need someone who knows their business and their account, who can help them think through the decision and then help them put it into action. That's why we built our new HR services offering." What Expert Services Includes With BambooHR Expert Services, customers work directly with BambooHR's in-house experts across three core areas, each tailored to their specific HR needs: * HR Consulting gives customers a dedicated HR consultant and HRIS consultant who advise on the decision and configure the outcome in BambooHR. Engagements cover employee relations and leave of absence guidance, performance management and compensation planning, policy and handbook development, and org design, available as an ongoing partnership or a project-based HR Diagnostic. * Managed Payroll gives customers a dedicated specialist who runs the full payroll cycle, from data preparation through tax filing and employee payments, inside the customer's own account. Customers approve every run and keep full visibility. Available for US-based employees. * Technical Services handles rare, high-stakes projects most HR teams do not run often enough to get fast at, including migrations off legacy systems, account clones and merges after an acquisition, general ledger reporting, and custom payroll reporting across 401(k), HSA/FSA, and workers' compensation data. Customers Keep Ownership Across all three, the work happens inside the customer's own BambooHR account rather than alongside it, and customers keep ownership of their people, policies, and decisions. No part of the employment relationship transfers to BambooHR, and customers do not enter a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) arrangement. Why Now The expansion follows the July introduction of Bamboo AI(TM), BambooHR's embedded system of AI agents and intelligence. The BambooHR platform can now draft a policy, catch a payroll anomaly, or generate a report in seconds. Deciding whether that is the right call for a specific business, with specific people and a specific culture, is still a human judgment. As platforms take on more of the work, that judgment matters more, not less. Expert Services is built to address this shift. "Most consultants can't touch the system they're advising on, so customers end up holding a strategy with no one to execute it," Martell said. "Our experts are using BambooHR every day. There's no ramp-up, and nothing gets handed back as homework." Availability BambooHR Expert Services is available now, delivered by a team of HR consultants who average more than 10 years of HR experience and bring a range of professional certifications, advanced degrees, and firsthand BambooHR platform knowledge to the team.
