Case Study: New Moms reduces turnover 37% and saves $21,000 with BambooHR

How New Moms uses BambooHR to make people its top priority

New Moms is a Chicago-based nonprofit (26–100 employees) that supports young families experiencing poverty and homelessness. With Emily White Hodge serving as the sole HR and operations lead, the organization relied on paper files and manual processes that consumed hours, made reporting to funders difficult, and limited growth and accountability.

They adopted BambooHR for employee records, reporting, onboarding, PTO, and performance management. The affordable, intuitive platform and responsive support improved communication for field staff, enabled clear reporting for funders, and shifted reviews to regular coaching — resulting in a 37% reduction in turnover over three years, $21,000 saved in staff time, and new funding opportunities.
