User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Engagedly has a huge range of possibilities and we chose it because of all the functionalities it offers. I'm not marking my rating a 9 or 10 because of the UI. If you're an active user (e.g. in the people department) then you get used to the UI fast enough. However, if you only use it twice per year (like all our other users) it can be difficult to find what you need. That being said, Engagedly offers a truly broad range of HR-related functionalities and we're very happy about that!

It is an online system that we were able to use to create our evaluation forms. Once our HR person triggers that you have to do an evaluation of someone you will receive emails reminding you that you have to do it. In addition we can set them with due dates. Telling managers that they are being evaluated on making sure they give staff timely evaluations has really helped getting them to do them. In our first year some of the managers got "dinged" for not providing feedback to their staff and they were not happy about it. Now it isn't a problem. In addition the "quick feedback" is a game changer.

Pros
  • Goal setting: Ability to set individual OKRs, department, business unit, and top-level department OKRs; ability to align goals by level, ability to see goal hierarchy, and see how individuals making progress in their OKR impacts the overall company progress.
  • Performance reviews: ability to set cycle and customize each cycle, manage cycle at the same time or independently; ability to invite external reviewer (outside of the organization) is a huge benefit.
  • Learning: All learning courses can be hosted in the system and assigned to individuals or groups; ability to run reports
  • Analytics and reporting capability: the new interface improves this capability a lot. Data can be zoomed in and out and presented visually for employees and managers

  • Allows constructive feedback from multiple sources
  • Is easy to navigate and simple to complete with takeaways that are helpful and areas where improvement is needed
  • Can be accessible to employees who are looking to bring on additional resources for a particular project or engagement

Cons
  • Notifications - it would be better if individuals can customize what notifications to receive
  • Project review function - it would help if we can set up a review form that can be used any time of the year as many times as the reviewer want to use with more structure than the current feedback function (such as rating scale etc.)
  • It would be helpful if the mentor meeting function is included, not additional.

  • Connecting multiple sites where information is stored to the progress you are updating with the PerformYard site would be beneficial. Less work doubling efforts at times.
  • Attachment options on your goals would give you a quick place to use for a reference. For instance, goal to increase sales by certain percentage annually could benefit from an attached document showing those number increases with 1 file attachment.

It has been excellent among the employees. It is a great way to keep up with the tasks and goals throughout the year. Manager/employee communication can increase with this program. It is very easy to use and understand. Navigation can be a bit tricky but the overall ease of going through it is splendid.

Usability
The reason I gave this rating as Engagedly shows us the tasks that are pending with the due date and also if the due date is nearing it sends us reminder emails to make sure we do not miss it. It is also helpful for new associates to know more about the organization hierarchy as documents are right shown on the home screen.

This is one of the best features of PerformYard - it is extremely easy to use and intuitive. There was no learning curve. This is what is so phenomenal about PerformYard. Their layout, while offering so many features, is extremely simple.

Absolutely! We love engagedly because we haven't faced any kind of lagging or such issues in website. It also has a convenient app through which you can access everything. They are very polite and address to each and every query relating to software which may cause hinderence in the process.

The support from PerformYard is unmatched when compared to other systems I have worked with. Not to say that the support personnel always have an immediate answer, but they are so committed to solution and timeliness that it is not long before we are able to work through any issues. Emails are quickly returned for ease of access, and they never fail to offer to hop on a call and visually walk through something if that may help the issue!

Training for PerformYard was fantastic and very easy to understand! I highly recommend this product to any company. It is super helpful for communicating with staff, for keeping track of your goals, tasks and reviews for the current (or past) year. Definitely get online training for implementation. You won't regret it!

Our Human Resources department handled the implementation of PerformYard and they did a fantastic job. A tutorial was sent out via email to all employees with a requirement of viewing it. In additionto that, a ZOOM session was scheduled so that any questions or concerns could be answered after viewing the tutorial.

Alternatives Considered
the goal and review cycle alignment was superior to others. the price point was within our budget. And the employee recognition wasn't too over the top but also wasn't boring. we also looked at the clear company and a few others

PerformYard is in its own class for employee monitoring and reviewing of employee, goals and expectations. As a midsize business, you cannot just implement change once in a while you need to document and review plans and progress within departments and amongst individual employees so that you can see the most success. Perform yard, really focuses in on that and makes it very easy to document and implement processes and procedures and expectations from the company to the employees.

Return on Investment
  • the survey features have enabled us to run some good snapshot engagement data, and then react to the feedback quickly
  • we are currently working on the performance management module so this is a work in progress, but I definitely see potential
  • our employees currently don't use the system regularly enough to see the benefit so this is an opportunity for us
  • The knowledge hub is great place for us to store company information
  • The e-learning module will be a great place for us to log training

  • I'm not aware of the cost of the system but it definitely saves me and my team a lot of time getting through the reviews.
  • There are additional features to the software that I haven't fully explored but will at least experiment with as it has been very helpful so far.
  • Anything new has a learning curve to go through and some team members are slow to adapt.
