    When we first launched Millie, we were only using Giving Madness (their bracket style giving campaign) and it wasn't well received. The Millie Team worked with us to "right size" our offerings and when we launched the nonprofit search tool coupled with the volunteer portal, we saw more employees looking into ways to give and volunteer. It was the right level of support, engagement, and functionality to make our program a success. And I think that is the root of our appreciation for Millie: they are invested in OUR success

    I'm honestly not sure why my company chose to use Small Improvements. We used Lattice before for the all the same use cases I mentioned here. The employee performance review feature might be a bit better in Small Improvements, but the goal-setting tool and the 1:1 tool are very weak. I may not have benefitted yet from all the features that Small Improvements have to offer, but so far it looks like a pretty basic HR tool with much better alternatives out there. If it's cheaper than the competition, that might be the only argument to go with it.

    • Praise Wall: A public place to post positive and encouraging comments about other employees.
    • 360 Reviews: Users can request and gain 1:1 feedback; this can be anonymous if desired.

    • Being able to edit projects more easily (and have a documented edit history) would be beneficial.
    • Possibly integrations with popular platforms (such as JIRA) to give expanded detail of project tracking.
    • Gantt charts would be a nice to have for a top level management view.

    Usability
    Millie
    Millie is a very easy tool for both administrators and employees. We've had very little pushback with adoption and utilization among all generations of employees. The help videos and written procedures make it very easy to introduce new employees to the resource. We currently have 95% of our employees actively registered in Millie.

    The customer support is quick and thorough, they have access to our account to answers are tailored to our needs. They also have a good knowledge base and self-help site with some video tutorials and FAQs which saved us time as opposed to just calling or emailing support. For the times that we did reach out, it only took one response to get our issue resolved.

    We haven't used any of these other soft wares but did evaluate them based on our needs and price. Ultimately, Millie was still the least expensive option

    Lattice was able to link in with core OKRs whereas from my memory, Small Improvements didn't support this goal setting and tracking framework. While it was good for sentiment and management frameworks, it was unable to connect with the greater company vision as well as Lattice - that was the reason that we moved.

    • Before we had Small Improvements, personal goal setting was completely disorganized. Some managers made sure it was done, likewise many did not.
    • Having past goals collected in one repository has been a blessing. I couldn't imagine not having Small Improvements or something comparable.
