Our customers range from two-person startups to Fortune 100 corporations. In fact, 77% of the Fortune 100 uses Slack.
A whole new way to listen to employee feedback.
Slack is great for communication across a lot of offices across different locations. Its more fun than the likes of google chats or Microsoft teams with custom emoji's and gifs.
The only drawback is that we just have too many avenues where we connect and so Slack just got lost with all the other programs and didn't become a priority. This is why we no longer use it.
It was motivated by the price, accessibility, ease of deployment, and great, impactfull features like threads in communications and bookmarks for file sharing.
The interface is very strange as is the fact that you have a separate email & password for every Slack channel you join. Feature for feature, Slack is just a worse version of Discord.
I liked the style, functionality, and availability of slack for everything and everyone. It is completely easy and fun to use and manage as well have many useful features.
People are not used to Slack as much as they are instant messaging or emails, so a lot of people have bad etiquette, which can make Slack a lot more annoying and bothersome than it should be.
This software is just amazing for collaborations. I think it's the user interface that makes it so good, but to be honest it just has this je ne sais qouis that makes it amazing.
I get lost on some of the channels - there are a lot of channels with different teams. I find that I get confused with which channel is for what.
The most important benefit is a real-time insight into our company culture. This benefit is extremely valuable to companies like ours that are growing at a very fast pace.
The only problem we have been facing with the software is poor integration capabilities.
Great flexibility in the question setup, allowing you to tailor to your business or team. Great dashboards help you visualize the results and turn this into actions.
It can sometimes be frustrating trying to second-guess the reasoning behind anonymous feedback, but then the anonymity is key to the platform so I guess it's not the software that's at fault.
Having real-time data the day after the survey closes and having the ability to watch scores improve or decline through the next open survey session is amazing.
At the moment, nothing as such to dislike about Workday Peakon Employee Voice.
Peakon is a very well designed and easy to use Engagement tool. It was great to get consistent feedback and insight into our strengths and priority areas that needed improvement.
Other than that very little i would put into the negative bucket.
Speaker 1: I'm Cam, senior director in our company, anywhere between 20 and 25 employees across the world at any given time. I couldn't go a day without Slack. That's five stars for me. Before Slack, we actually had to use two different software options. We used Sococo for our virtual meeting offices, and that served a purpose. It was good for a little bit, but then as we got bigger, we also had to use Skype. And so a natural progression was moving on from both of those into one that offered the same exact offerings, if not even more, and that was Slack. So previous to Slack, Sococo, Skype, and a couple other different instant messaging systems, all provided by Slack going forward. Everything from the pricing to the ease of deployment to how quickly we could get up and running, and just how generally available Slack is, whether it's desktop or the app, and from a mobile phone, you could have a web browser, anything you wanted to. You're never away from Slack, technically. And so, while that might not be a good thing for the work-life balance, it definitely made it much easier to deploy than anything else we researched, and we got forward. And now, it's just part of everyday life. The reason we chose Slack, one of them at least the biggest one was how quickly we could move everything from previous options or previous programs we used to deploy the day of. So I think that was on a scale of one to five, five being the easiest. It was a five. If not, even higher than that. It was as easy as possible to deploy Slack, get everything set up from our exec team, and then trickling it down. It took maybe a matter of a half hour to get everybody on board and inside of Slack, and it's still even faster now. So that was probably the biggest factor to getting us over to Slack in the initial phase. Recommending Slack, or if you're choosing between Slack and something else, just try the free version of Slack and understand that that is good enough to probably get you in the door and keep you in the door as well. The paid version and the other offerings from Slack make it even more integral to your business, so I would highly recommend giving it a shot. Just in general, the ease in which you could get started and the ease in which you could continue going forward without skipping a beat in your business needs, whatever your business needs might be, it's Slack and Slack going forward.
Molly N.: Hi, my name is Molly. I'm a creative coordinator for a healthcare nonprofit, and I give Peakon a five out of five. We use Peakon to check in with our employees and our staff to make sure that everyone is remaining engaged and connected within our company. We have people across different states in different units, in different buildings, and so Peakon really helps us to make sure people feel like they're being treated the way that they deserve to be treated, whether by coworkers or supervisors. But it also allows us to make sure that we remain focused on our company values, that they are spread across the entire company no matter where people may be. So Peakon's surveys really allow us to stay connected with our employees, make sure people are having a good experience at our company, and to also make sure that we are keeping up with our mission statement and our values. What I like most about Peakon is that you can get reminders to take the survey. So not only are we able to email reminders out to employees, but we can also sync it up with other applications to communicate, and we can set them up to go out weekly or bi-weekly or whatever we want, which is very helpful to do. And we can also really customize the questions. So if there's a certain situation going on in the company, we can change that week's questions to reflect that to see how people are responding to that information. So we just really appreciate how much you can customize it as well as how easily it is to communicate and send out those surveys. What I like least about Peakon is the grading scale. So we do have quite a few employees who sometimes have issues with how they rate the scores, and what's a negative score, what's a positive score, what's a neutral score? But they do luckily give a score sheet so that it makes it a little bit easier to explain to people.
