    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!

    Peakon is a great solution whether you are thinking of pulsing your employees weekly, monthly, or even yearly. The solution provides great dashboards, easy reporting, on the fly segmentation creation, and ways to really dive deep into your people data. I think it's a bit expensive for very early-stage companies, so I would love to see them create a startup/early-stage version or pricing because it has become an invaluable tool for any size company.

    Pros
    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
    • 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.

    • Peakon looks beautiful and feels very light, which is comforting when you're (potentially) giving negative feedback and feel anxious. The emails are friendly and the survey is super clean.
    • The surveys are very easy to navigate. You can answer as many or as few questions as you like, skipping forward and backward, and choosing to provide comments when you want. It's low pressure and feels flexible.
    • The HR department is able to respond to your comments. You can then have a back and forth conversation while remaining anonymous. This really helps employees further explain and contextualize their survey comments without identifying themselves personally.

    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.

    • The only major issue is the integrations factor. I wish there was more integrations work from HRMS core systems or even other dashboard solutions.

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

    SurveyMonkey is a great survey tool that also allows responders to stay anonymous, but I think Peakon is more effective for corporate feedback. It offers more reports and analytics specifically for HR and feels more professional. We often use SurveyMonkey for more lighthearted surveys (e.g., what to eat for team lunch) while keeping Peakon for employee feedback.

    Return on Investment
    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
    • 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!

    • When we moved to WFH due to COVID, we use Peakon a regular basis to understand what employees are thinking. We lost the serendipity of talking to people during chance encounters in the office, Peakon has replaced those conversations.
    • We saw an incredible year in spite of COVID, while there are so many internal and external factors contributing to that success, we can see that having engaged and happy employees has an impact on our business. We also see what happens when they are not engaged or happy.
