    PerformYard
    Perform Yard is best suited for business managers to monitor the performance of their employees, set and review goals as well as implement performance improvement plans. It’s not so ideal for small groups. The precise questions asked of the employees makes it perfect for the responses to paint the overall picture of the progress and production of the employee, and helps supervisors really gauge the output from their employees. Overall, it is a great tool to utilize for monitoring employees progress, as well as evaluate the employee at your end to assist with setting goals for the new year.

    I think if you are surveying often to gather data, Sogolytics is a great product. If you are not seeking in-depth data, there are certainly more affordable options. As a non-profit, we find this to be a great tool for in-depth data and easy-to-use reports. The report feature is our main draw to this product; it is visually appealing, easy to share, and translates.

    • Easy to use - easy to create surveys, send to participants and review the results
    • The library of ready to use templates is so helpful!
    • The large variety of question types helps to keep the survey interesting for the participant.
    • The "smart" question logic is amazing. I love having a follow up question appear depending on how the participant answers a previous question.

    Cons
    PerformYard
    • Don't really need to have multiple team member selection options in the dashboard. Would be more efficient to drill down from the team member selected rather than have to scroll through the list amongst all other team members data files.
    • Would be nice if contributors could also opine as to the perceived level of performance for the person they are commenting on, i.e., unsat, sat, excellent.
    • Those are my only issues at this time.

    • Providing users the ability to follow along a specific question example (eg. placeholder text in questions that users can see what the answer might look like)
    • Better media management and implementation (eg. placing images/videos/gifs/etc. as standalone assets in the survey)
    • Making the images added into a survey responsive to the screen they are being viewed on (eg. any images added to a survey do not adjust to the size of the screen, consequently showing up very small on mobile/tablet view)
    • Exporting the survey to Word looks horrible - we'd love if the survey could be exported the way it looks when live into a similar-looking Word document or template

    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.

    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.

    Everything on the platform is laid out logically and in a manner that even our less technical administrators can go onto the system and create/manage any surveys or feedback questionnaires. The options for distribution of these surveys are also simple and straight forward with all available choices showing. Our users don't need to know the ins and outs of the system to be able to use it.

    PerformYard
    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!

    I had an issue whereby I used a free trial that ended, locking me out of my account. I contacted their customer service to help with this issue, which they resolved in under half an hour. I was extremely impressed with their speed and quality of service, which led me to filling out this review!

    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!

    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.

    Return on Investment
    PerformYard
    • It has encouraged me to actually complete goals rather than "almost" complete them because I want to be able to check off the box.
    • Sometimes it's difficult to track goals without clear metrics, however, this might be a positive thing because it encourages the user to create metric-based goals.
    • One positive impact is the impact this program has on extrinsically motivated employees.

    • Members were very appreciative of the survey requesting their input on Capital Projects. Too many time, 1 - 2 staff members or Board members make decisions for the entire membership, which is not always the best approach.
    • Hoping for actionable areas to improve once the results of the Membership Satisfaction survey completes.
