    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
    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!

    Leapsome
    It will be an apt tool where only performance management is the requirement of the company in case there is no such tool in place. Like for a startup where the tool is yet to implement, this can help in managing the performance management with ease and a simple interface. Within a large organization where the requirements are beyond performance management, this tool will fall short

    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)

    • 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
    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
    • 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.

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

    I didn’t select over workday since this was used in the previous organization. The major difference is that workday provides multiple functions which leapsome currently doesn’t have or have it and I am not aware of it may be. However, I still recommend Leapsome over workday since its simple interface is effective to users. It is a user friendly tool that can still produce multiple KPI and reports which are required for people management

    • 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!
