    Small Improvements
    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.

    I think some of my problems with Talentsoft aren't so much the fault of the software as it is how my company is organized. I have to enter many different property levels so that a review gets created, I'm not certain that these fields are required by Talentsoft or by my corporate office. This software is not suited for companies where a segment of the employees do not have a company email address and/or access to a company computer

    Pros
    Small Improvements
    • Goal Tracking: Enables users to chart goals, track progress, and provide details about what they want/expect to achieve.
    • 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.

    • Having the reviews in Talentsoft makes it much easier for one person to manage the entire process from start to finish.
    • When an employee switches managers during the year, the delegation feature makes it very easy to have the previous manager add their input to the employees review.
    • Being able to have a daily import file from our HR system into Talentsoft helps in having the information in Talentsoft be current.

    Cons
    Small Improvements
    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    I think SuccessFactors is more flexible to customer needs when creating review templates and allowing access to goals year round. They also track changes for the goals. Talentsoft was selected by our corporate office before I started with the company.

    Return on Investment
    Small Improvements
    • 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.
