    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.

    • Vibe HCM is highly configurable. That flexibility is extremely useful.
    • The portal pages create a friendly user experience that aids in adoption.
    • Vibe takes action on change requests and enhancements quickly.
    • The number of employee self-service options allow for easy colleague use.

    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.

    Small Improvements
    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.

    We selected Vibe HCM about 2 1/2 years ago because they approached communication and the interaction between the employer and the employee so differently. It was a combination of connection and transaction. You have a system that meets the business need and functionality but that connects with your employee in such a fresh non-corporate way. It's not just about automating a process but building an environment that surrounds those daily business transactions that looks and feels how we interact on the web and social media. It totally transforms not only the user experience but the employers as well. It makes us think a little bit more about the touch points we have with our employees and how we want those to look/feel and resonate.

    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.
