Atlassian Confluence and Trello Software for HR

Hi everyone,


Is anyone here using Atlassian tools like Confluence or Trello to support HR processes? I’ve come across some impressive examples of employee onboarding and policy pages on Trello’s website, but I don’t personally know anyone who’s actively using these tools for their HR needs.


If you are using them, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and any feedback you’d be willing to share.


Thank you!

  • I've used both with different clients and I would very much align with  we both love tech so that's not a surprise. 

    I used Trello with a client in a start up scale up environment for mapping, tracking, nudging and showing progress on projects and allocating ownership for parts of the project and I know it can do so much more.

    The key is working out what the need is, how tech can help, working out what it won't do (the sales pitch is always impressive because they know the system inside out) and where you will have to compromise and how it links in with your other tech or offline aspects of the people experience or journey. 

    Confluence I used with a large tech team in a well established company and it was easy to use, if you are tech savvy, to build pages, share information with all the functionality, and more, of a good website but again it depends how this fits with all the other tools employees need to use and your existing tech set up. 

    I always recommend starting with needs, context, budget, reach out to your audience and test your hypothesis, build the business case and then look for the tools/ tool that meets the need the best. Good luck and similarly, happy to chat tech if you want to reach out. 

  • Hi Sharon, 

    We have Workday as a HRIS Globally, it was badly set up and we do not have the skillset in the US to make the changes required. I was looking to use Confluence and Trello to help the UK site with onboarding and probationary period tasks. The confluence piece I was hoping to use to replace the current SharePoint HR page. I would love to connect to learn more from your experience of using both these tools.
