This seems like a really nice and innovative company. They provided us with a nonprofit license and it is so greatly appreciated!

Easy to use for small offices with limited HR capacity

It is easy for our team to work with it. Setting goals and tracking them has never been this easy. With it, our performance reviews are faster and enjoyable. The kudos feature is nice for appreciating the team for their great work.

An amazing Performance Review Software

I use Small Improvements to manage the objectives of my software development team. I use the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) method, which works pretty well with Small Improvements. I just list the key results in the description of the objective. The comments can then reference one of the key results. Originally we set the objectives semesterly, and they got lost amid the day-to-day work we do. We then changed to quarterly objectives, and that works much better. I work together with my employees to set the objectives, and they know pretty well what they need to accomplish throughout the quarter. It is important that the tool sends out emails to remind people of their objectives. I can really see how employees are working on the objectives throughout the quarter. 

Good Little App

Very user-friendly performance review system

We are able to track weekly highs and lows for our team-members.
Feature that enable and overall comment / result for each 1:1 meeting would be great. Example: cancelled, or cancelled and reason as holidays, etc.

Easy feedback collector for agile improvements cycle

Reviewing colleagues and ensuring everyone is on the same page and improving

Concise and Easy to Use

I would highly recommend small-improvements as a all in all tool to do people management (1:1 notes, goals, feedbacks, praisals in the company, etc.). 

Great all in all package for manager

I like their customer service. They've always responded in a timely manner. There might be a line, but I've never been able to reach anyone.

Really initiative

Our company uses Small Improvements for Employee Reviews and so much more!

Thanks so much for the kind words Kelly! :) For anyone interested in more detail, here's the VLACS case study on our website: https://www.small-improvements.com/case-studies/vlacs/

Very positive - ease of use has cut down on time spent administrating performance review activities

Great for small companies

Good performance review tool

Good goal setting and tracking software 

Our company reviewed and tried out a lot of different systems before we found the right solution for us. 
This one seemed promising because it was integrated with our HRIS. Our HRIS is extremely easy to use and intuitive. The integration that they built looked really well as well. It was just under our personal tab. It made it look like it was one system. 

Affordable and customizable 

decent feedback tool

It has been a smooth implementation so far, with immediate positives from the off, with most importantly the tracking and recording of talking points in meetings and great integration with Google Calendar.

Solid new HR Tool

Great performance tool! 

Well-organized performance review system

Great tool for performance management

Great centric location for self-evaluation.
