Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness!

If you don't have an employee engagement and performance platform, Workleap Officevibe will nicely fill that space; it would be best suited to small to medium organizations where there is already conversation to support team engagement, and anonymous surveys are helpful. The one-on-one feature and goals are also useful for proactively and positively engaging the workforce.

Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications.
  • Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps.
  • Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually.

Cons
  • We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates.
  • It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.

Usability

Officevibe's user interface for end users is straightforward and well-designed; it looks nice and intuitive. We did have confusion about the brand, with some new employees thinking they were spam emails. Also, the manager's view and getting access to the right visibility can be confusing unless well administrated internally.

Alternatives Considered
I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.

While both of these products are geared towards office much larger than mine, Officevibe is priced by user so I was able to scale it down to fit us and is much more affordable than 15Five. They didn't have the ability to scale it down so the cost was very prohibitive for us. I can add users as we grow and remove them if necessary so it's always going to stay affordable

Return on Investment
  • We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing!
  • We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media!
  • Marketing has been able to control the voice of the brand while amplifying the message to new audiences - amazing!

  • I love seeing the eNPS. It is a quick reference point to see where our employees approval line lies.
  • The executive team gets a deeper look at the feelings of employees to see if problems are brewing.
