beqom vs. Welcome

Depending on the complexity of the processes, the regulatory constraints and the number of employees to be managed, beqom can be a very powerful solution. Sometimes it's just too powerful and expensive for the scope.

If you don't have a workflow management tool in place and are relying on email or shared documents, then I would recommend using Welcome to keep tasks moving and employees accountable. It's very flexible, so you can really drill down on what you're asking from users and it consolidates the tasks that you need to work on in one place. We don't use it for legal documents due to more specific requirements that those require, but, for most other collaborative work, it is used.

Incentivized

• Budget Simulation, impact analysis of change ina compensation plan, scenario comparison
• End user (functional user) administration
• Total compensation management (ability to manage all the processes in a single tool)
• Integration into the information system (SSO, data flows, etc.)
• Complex business rules
• Matrix organization management and complex workflows

• I can see an overview of all my assigned tasks and if I need to take action now or in the future.
• The history tab gives a detailed overview of all action taken by everyone so far.
• You can really break tasks down into clear, specific steps leaving no room for guesswork or confusion.

Incentivized

• Territory Management
• Mobile functionnalities

• For some tasks that don't require an article, we are forced to create one or the task doesn't function.
• When changes are tracked in Word docs they are not apparent until the file is downloaded meaning that if people are only previewing content, they will miss these changes/comments.
• Having 2 separate places to comment can be confusing and hiding resolved comments can mean less transparency in the process.

Support is provided by the implementation partner and beqom. A team of the editor is dedicated to this activity

Beqom is the only one managing all compensation components (total comp).

• Reduction in calculation errors.
• Equality Management (comparisons, Women/Men, etc.).
• Letters/Plan description communication. Mass ability through the tool and direct communication to the eligible.
• Logs of all actions performed.

• Employees can be resistant to using Welcome at first as they think it will add to their workload, but they, eventually, see the benefits of saving time and gaining efficiency.
• If one person is responsible for entering all tasks, it can be a fair bit of admin time for that person.
• We have a better working relationship with external agencies that also use Welcome to collaborate with us.
