Chezuba vs. PerformYard

For companies that either want to start volunteering or have volunteering programs but are struggling with employee participation, Chezuba is a great place to start! Most of the opportunities on Chezuba are online, so companies which have employees who don't have access to computer/internet arent the best fit, I guess

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.

• They personalize volunteering experiences based on employee's skills and interests. I literally could volunteer when I want and in the way I want, making the whole Corporate volunteering program more participating
• Their customer support is top notch too

• 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

Incentivized

• Their presence in Australia is relatively less compared to other regions
• We hope this can integrate with more HRMS tools in the future
• Grants module is still in nascent stages

• 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.

Great product and amazing customer service - we not just get the job done but they excel at what they do - no need for us to change at all

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.

They built it keeping all users including non tech savvy guys in mind, no complains at all. Besides, their product is very customizable so makes our job even easier

Everything is very easy to understand except more training is needed on how to use the reporting feature. You are assigned an account manager who walks you through every step of the process when you sign on to use PerformYard.

They respond within a few hours and resolve any issues within 24 hours, they are super sweet!

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!

it was really smooth, no comments

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.

Incentivized

• Very customer-obsessed: Their team just wants you to succeed, love them!
• Reasonable pricing: They ensured that we didn't have to break our bank to implement this, some of the competitors are extremely expensive
• High quality product: After evaluating a few products for several months, I can say with conviction that Chezuba is the best product in the space

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.

• A chance to use my skills and expertise for the good of the community.
• Ability to engage our global workforce in volunteering, which previously felt impossible

• 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.
