Business OwnerTrack new hires on your calendar
Stay on top of onboarding schedules by syncing BrightHR data to your calendar. When a new employee is added in BrightHR, Zapier can automatically add a corresponding event to Google Calendar. This helps you organize training sessions or check-ins without manually checking records.
