Overall Satisfaction with Small Improvements

This tool was used for checking in on employee sentiment and facilitating reviews. It was intended to give the management team a quick overview of how all of the team members were tracking at any given point in time. All team members were given access to it to answer their regular questions and 360 degree feedback as well as 1:1s were recorded in it.
  • Easy for team members to add sentiment ratings.
  • Good integration with Slack.
  • Nice and easy to record meeting outcomes and goals.
  • Didn't link with core goals for the company.
  • We've gone out of favour with 360 degree feedback.
  • Wasn't able to fully outline why it was better than competitors or what its core benefit was.
  • Price.
  • Very hard to measure - it gave us a view that we didn't have before.
  • Compared to nothing, this was very very enlightening.
  • It got us out of documents and enabled a greater ability to share insights.
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.

Yes

Did implementation of Small Improvements go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Small Improvements again?

No

This would be useful for a business that was growing and wants to keep track of the sentiment of their employees in an easy to use way. It would be especially useful if the company was happy to record their overall objectives somewhere else. I believe it would also work well for logging KPIs - if not OKRs, unless that has changed recently.
