Again, it has brought the staff together more. They are able to show each other recognition. We, as managers are reminded of their birthdays and anniversaries and can send out messages about these that make people feel appreciated as if we remembered on our own!

As I stated earlier, this has had a major positive impact on employees as it allows us to interact with other that we don't see/speak to on a regular basis. It is also helpful for partners to see which employees are making waves through the company

I use the community module to send message to the staff such as, events, meetings, reminders... etc. I encourage the staff to download the mobile app and turn on their notifications as this is the best way to communicate with everyone all at once.

We utilize the Community platform for company wide announcements. It is an easy and efficient way to communicate things that are urgent and vital to the whole organization. It is a lot easier than mass email campaigns or having to go down the chain of command to pass down information.

I have not seen any of the above items in Paylocity as of yet so I guess I would like to experience all of the above again to see how to make this a more robust product for my employer and employees. Things should be easy not harder and I believe we all need to move to a more online platform for our needs but I again I want to know all available modules to make this work better for our business needs.

It has increased employee engagement. This tool has helped employees and management share notes and recognition with and from each other. This has helped the organization receive higher customer approval ratings and reduce customer service cancelations. It has also increased customer retention, resulting in higher revenue.

Our team likes the Impressions tool. They feel they have a platform for communication. We often use the Events portion to track training. Again, everyone can have access when necessary. They have a voice while performing self-evaluations, and they can look back at their performance over time.
