2020: A Look Back with BambooHR®

Now, hold on. Are we crazy? Who in the world would want to rehash 2020?

It’s a fair point. Maybe we are just a little bit nuts. But we were like this well before the train crashed into the dumpster fire and created 2020.

So, before we shove the entire year into the corner of our minds where we keep all our worst memories (like that time we wore our underpants on the outside by accident), let’s look at something good that happened in 2020: how you used BambooHR to do great work. We’ll also give you a little peek at what we Bambooligans were up to.

You stayed busy.

BambooHR customers recorded 125,484,781 logins in 2020 to check data and make requests.

That’s *whips out calculator* 239 logins every minute!

And what were you doing? Handling your biz with BambooHR, that’s what.

You created (lots of) jobs.

COVID-19 shutdowns brought many businesses to a standstill and left millions of people looking for work.

But you helped make a big dent in that downturn,
posting
196,700
job openings
and hiring
361,732
applicants
Hopefully, we helped make the
121,734
onboarding completions
smooth sailing for you and your new hires.

Meanwhile at BambooHR...

We used our time wisely, spending
4 hours
apologizing for being on mute
18 hours
wondering if we’re in the right video call
903 hours
staring into the refrigerator
We also got to know you better by conducting over
1,100 hours
of customer research
including interviews, case studies, and surveys.
And with your help, we
launched
62
product updates and features
added
16
new partners to the BambooHR Marketplace
for a total of
97
third-party integrations
all of which make BambooHR even better. But let’s get back to you.

You got strategic.

You know how essential it is to analyze your company data and understand your workforce.
That’s why you generated
12,022,443
reports
in BambooHR to help your organization make strategic decisions.
And while we fully understand how you could get lost in the beautiful graphs and charts BambooHR creates for you, you didn’t stop there. In fact, you
created and completed
362,264
goals
submitted
413,637
peer feedback surveys
and completed
474,735
self assessments.
That’s like half the state of Vermont setting a goal in 2020. Pretty neat!

10,000

We were able to close
347,263
support tickets
which equates to...
98,210
hours of one-on-one time with customers
But while that was helpful, we also wanted to give you a ton of entertaining and relevant content, too. So we did, starting with
97
