What is Small Improvements?

Performance Reviews & 360s

Ongoing Feedback
Praise coworkers for a job well done and request feedback at any time from anyone. Prepare for 1:1s and share notes afterward to make sure you are aligned.

Objectives
Keep employees accountable and help them grow by setting objectives and tracking key results. Objectives can be shared with managers, the team, or the entire company, so it’s easy to understand everyone’s priorities, communicate progress, and receive valuable feedback from others.

I Love Small Improvements!

I really love how I can prepare for my 1:1 in the week leading up to it. I can also see what my manager sets on the agenda so I can come prepared which allows the conversation to flow and make the best use of our time. Receiving feedback form teammates is also helpful and can be referred to later on even after the submission period closes.

A very simple HR tool with poor goals and 1:1 features

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.

Simple individual goal software...but lacks group goals and therefore might be redundant for some organizations

I love how easy the software is to use. It requires little training if any. With that said the simplicity is also a problem. Some of our departments such as development use a different software solution to track group goals. It is redundant to have two goal trackers, but it is necessary because small improvements are individual-focused.

Does The Job But Not A Market Leader

The product is passable and does the job but it doesn't seem to represent the gold standard or be the market leader in anything, it also seems very outdated in terms of aesthetics and functionality. I have used numerous products that serve a similar purpose that seem to offer many more features and ease of usability.
