Why Namely teams bring in HRBench
- Namely's reporting covers the basics, but anything custom often means a manual workaround or a case filed with Namely's service pod, then a wait for an agent. HRBench gives your team 45+ ready-made workforce metrics the day the connection is live, with no report to build and no ticket to file.
- Namely reports on what already happened. HRBench adds 25+ predictive metrics on top of your Namely data, so you can see flight risk and forecast headcount instead of reading last quarter's numbers.
- HRBench sets your Namely metrics against cross-company benchmarks, so you can see whether your turnover and tenure track with companies your size, and it rolls those metrics up across a whole portfolio for PE-backed groups running several companies on Namely.
- Getting more out of Namely often means going back to its service team. HRBench includes the full metric library, benchmarks, and engagement surveys for every customer, with no analytics add-on to buy and no specialist to hire.
What a Namely shop builds with HRBench
HRBench reads your Namely people and organization records: who works there, their roles and employment history, and how departments, teams, and locations are structured. It does not pull pay, benefits, time off, or hours from Namely, so the analyses below are about workforce composition and movement, not cost.
- Headcount and growth by department, team, and location, tracked month over month as Namely records new hires and departures.
- Voluntary and involuntary turnover, first-year attrition, and retention by team or manager, from the employment records Namely already keeps.
- Average tenure across the company and by group, so you can spot where people leave early.
- Span of control and manager-to-employee ratios, mapped from your Namely reporting lines.
- Diversity and representation by department and level, built from the demographic fields Namely tracks.

Yes. HRBench connects to Namely and reads your people and organization data on a regular sync, so your headcount, turnover, and org metrics stay current without any manual exports. Setup is guided and takes about four to six weeks for most teams.
HRBench reads the core people and organization records in Namely: employees and their employment history, job and role details, managers and reporting lines, and your departments, teams, and locations. It does not read pay, benefits, PTO or time off, or worked hours from Namely. So HRBench measures who works at your company and how it is structured, not compensation or labor cost.
From your Namely data, HRBench produces headcount and growth by department, team, and location, voluntary and involuntary turnover, retention and first-year attrition, average tenure, span of control and manager ratios, and workforce diversity by department and level. All of it comes from the 45+ metric library, ready the day your connection goes live.
No. HRBench sits on top of Namely. Namely stays your system of record for HR, and HRBench turns the people and organization data it holds into ready-made metrics, benchmarks, and predictions. Your team stops building reports and reads the answers instead.
HRBench connects to Namely as your HR system of record. Whether your team uses Namely for HR, payroll, benefits, or time, HRBench reads the people and organization data that lives in the platform. It does not pull payroll or benefits figures from Namely, so those modules keep running in Namely while HRBench handles the workforce metrics and reporting.
Yes. HRBench uses the demographic fields Namely already stores to break down representation by department, level, and manager, and to track how it shifts as you hire and promote. Because HRBench pulls this straight from your Namely records, you are looking at your real workforce, not a sample.
Yes. HRBench includes cross-company benchmarks, so you can see whether your turnover, tenure, and headcount growth are normal for a company your size and in your industry. If you run several companies, HRBench also rolls those metrics up across the whole portfolio, which is useful for PE-backed groups standardizing on Namely.
Yes. Engagement surveys are included for every HRBench customer at no extra cost. HRBench ties survey results to the workforce data it reads from Namely, so you can look at engagement next to turnover and tenure and see which teams are at risk. There is no separate survey tool to buy or connect.
Most teams are live in about four to six weeks, and smaller organizations often move faster. The Namely connection itself is quick to set up. The timeline is mostly your team confirming which metrics and cuts you want. Once it is live, the full metric library populates without any report building.
