Admin Coordinator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/25/2025 "Breathe is a simple-use and beneficial HR system for small businesses" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Breathe? The ease of annual leave booking and inputting of sick days, and especially the shared calendar - makes it simple and effective to see who is and isn't available each day of the week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? The onboarding and recruitment process for new staff could be better. Although the system does provide this, it is very limited in its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? It keeps everything centralised and is easy for communication between line managers for sick days as well as easy for our staff to know how is and isn't in the building and when.

HR Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/13/2025 "The best HRIS I have used" 5/5 What do you like best about Breathe? I like that it is plain and simple to use, no difficult set up as there was such an ease of implementation. The account manager we have at customer support is great and the frequency of use has skyrocketed. There are a number of features which we would like our partners to use more but this has been something of a slow burner and more support on this would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? The offboarding tasks could be integrated more smoother and if there is an integration to payroll systems and docusign, this would make it easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? Organisational chart is a big one for our clients, as well as the ability to remove ourselves from an excel sheet for holidays and have a system to do just that all in one confidential space.

Breathe HR makes it really easy to manage day-to-day HR tasks like tracking holidays, absences, and employee records. The interface is simple and straightforward, which means you don’t need a lot of training to get started... I also like the automated reminders for probation reviews and appraisals - it’s a small thing, but it helps keep everything on track. The document storage feature is handy too, especially for keeping contracts and policies in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? Some room for improvement. The lack of customisation can be frustrating if your company has specific processes or reporting needs. I’d also like to see better integrations with other systems like payroll, as switching between platforms slows things down. Notifications can be hit or miss as well... sometimes you don’t realise something needs approving until it’s too late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? Helps to centralise our HR processes, making it easier to manage employee data, track absences, and handle holiday requests. It’s particularly beneficial for maintaining an organised record of documents like contracts and policies, which reduces admin time and ensures compliance. The automated reminders for key events like probation reviews also help us stay on top of employee performance management, saving time and preventing missed deadlines.

It's really helpful to be able to monitor things like holiday and TOIL, and especially for a team who's time is logged as hours and not days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? If you only use certain elements of the platform, you can sometimes be overwhelmed by the options available to you that you don't ever need to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? It's helping us to track, monitor and process holidays, TOIL and absences in a really streamlined way. It is also helping with the storing of employee-related paperwork which can then be accessed across the organisation if neccessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Breathe has a wide variety of functionality: Calendar, leave, trianing, company documents and so on. It is fairly easy for the team to use and it is great to find everything in one place. Admin access makes it easy for management to stay on top of processes and organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Breathe? Some elements are not intuative, such as where to find Kudos, or onboarding sessions. Some elements seem like although they are available, they are hidden. There could be added functionality, such as being able to export the Organisation Chart, or view company training as a whole rather than person by person. Onboarding sessions have to be assigned to a person one by one, rather than multi select. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? Annual leave - easy and effcient for team members to book leave and for this to be approved. Office Booking - again, easy and efficient. Company documents - great to have these all in one place, approved individually and able to download the latest version and the push of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate dashboard with lots of options for employees to pick from when adding leave, and me when I add absences. Easy to implement within the team.
