Achievers vs. emPerform

Achievers is well suited as a rewards and recognition platform - which is what it was designed for. It's less appropriate for a company intranet to share files and documents with one another. Allowing users to do both on one platform would be a great solution for bridging the gap between corporate communication and rewards.

How easily the system interfaces with the HRIS system is essential for setup. Unfortunately, the emPerform system doesn't seem to perform as well as we would like. Review setup is cumbersome and time consuming. We like the customized workflow, but would like more abilities to assign reviewers.

• It promotes employee-to-employee recognition.
• It provides a way for Management to periodically reward employees for their efforts.
• It provides an incentive for great work as some of the Achievers rewards are incredible!

Incentivized

• Ability to customize workflow.
• Ability for Human Resources to aid managers by making recommendations/edits to comments before employees receive their evaluation.
• Customized security profiles to ensure each stage of the process is administered according to a specific business model.

• Relevance of rewards catalog
• Exchange rate of catalog items
• Would be nice to see deeper integration with company intranets

Incentivized

• Layout modifications when employees and managers are in "review" mode. The system would benefit greatly from having everything accessible with only a single click. The current layout requires the reviewer to visit different areas before even reaching the rating area.
• Cloud-based performance management! With the popularity of remote and telework positions, it would be fantastic to offer employees and managers the ability to log in from anywhere and still access the performance management system.
• Ease of use and integration with HRIS systems.

We feel very strongly about moving to a platform that's easier to manage and provides our employees/managers with a faster tool. We like the convenience of cloud-based software.

• Positive: it has increased our company's overall morale
• Negative: rewarding points for gratitude can be expensive depending on the size of the company

Incentivized

• Reduction in administrative time by having all of the performance evaluations available through an electronic portal.
• Ability to have quick reporting on the status of evaluations and metrics on suggested training and development plans.
