Personnel Security Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PerformYard user" July 24, 2024 5.0 Very easy functionality. Shows you what you need to complete easily. Pros Easy to use. Shows me what I need to complete and who needs to complete the task. Cons Nothing stands out. It is very user friendly Review Source TD Tom D. Principal Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid performer, great customer support" October 9, 2019 5.0 We have now used for one full employee review cycle for the whole firm. From an administrative point of view, there were just a few minor hiccups, and to call them "hiccups" is a bit unfair. The tool worked just fine, but we had some straightforward learning curve issues. Our process first solicited names for a 360 review, then got feedback from those identified, a self-evaluation, and then a final summary evaluation by the manager. I had to field far fewer user questions than I expected. I'll give some credit to our clever workforce, but it also tells me that the PerformYard tool is, by and large, intuitive and easy to use. Pros A few things stand out as positives for us. First, it was really easy to get things running. It was really just a matter of a few hours of invested time to be in a position to start testing our first review cycle. The biggest effort was transforming our crude employee data into a uniform spreadsheet so we could upload it. That took some manual work. It's easy to design and implement a review form. We have found that the building blocks offered by have met our needs just fine. As noted elsewhere, it's easy to dump out ALL of the data associated with a review. This was unexpected, but we use it all the time. A big win in our book. We have also enjoyed fantastic customer support. Online materials are generally solid, and staff is readily available when we bump into something we can't figure out on our own. Cons A few things have been a bit harder than expected. One that stands out is setting up a 360 evaluation, which was more manual than it seems would be necessary. Room for improvement for (or maybe we missed something). I've also heard a little grumbling about losing edits in various ways. I think this is perhaps just the peril of using a web-based tool. You have to get used to navigating deliberately -- and, of course, regularly saving your work. The tool won't necessarily remind you to do so. We are an analytics consulting firm, so we dump out the review cycle data (which is totally comprehensive; no complaints there!), and then we generate our own reports to track status, compare performance, and generally sift and sort the data. We just played a little with PerformYard's built-in reporting capabilities, but we quickly concluded that we would want more. These are, though, minor complaints. The tool has comfortably met our expectations. Reason for choosing PerformYard We were focused on enabling two things at our firm: regular performance reviews and ad hoc feedback. had the right balance of features we needed without too many that we didn't need. One very important factor in our decision was philosophical agreement on allowing private, peer-to-peer feedback without necessarily including the recipient's manager. We also liked the "modern" web-based UI. Review Source AG Alexandria G. HR and Talent Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Product - Great Support Team!" July 29, 2019 5.0 Our overall experience has been very positive. As a growing company, we very much needed a mechanism to ensure that goal setting and feedback was occuring on a regular cadence on a company wide basis. We also wanted a platform to recognize co-workers efforts on a company wide basis. Ensuring feedback happens and is documented is invaluable for employee growth. The feedback from employees has been great. Many of them are coming from large companies with mature performance management processes and have indicated they think is a superior product - more updated, easier to use and better features. Pros The User Platform is easy to navigate and understand. Creating forms and launching review cycles is simple once one learns the basics. I really appreciate the Gmail single sign on. I love the recognition feature. Our CSM has been amazing - accessible, helpful and very attentive. Having our performance reviews managed through the platform has been a huge benefit and needed for the engagement and growth. Cons I have not found any things I dislike about the software to date. On my wishlist for product improvements - a visually appealing Org Chart option. That would be awesome and very helpful!

It had an updated, cool feel. Engaging UI. Good balance of simplicity, usability, and customization. Ability to streamline the review process, to gather actionable insights from the reviews and allows for real-time feedback to be given/received. Complete support, setup, and training at no additional cost. The sales experience was awesome, and the CEO even talked to our CEO which sealed the deal. The price was much more competitive than out #2 choice Reflektive. Given that we are a start up and still a relatively small organization at 135 employees, the competitive pricing was very important to us. " Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) We needed a dedicated Performance Review Software Product. WE had been using Google Sheets which was OK when we were a smaller team, but obviously is not scalable. We needed a platform that would ensure feedback process was continual and easy to implement for admins and easy to use for employees. We wanted to increase engagement around performance review and feedback cycle. We needed improve goal setting and long term career roadmapping for employees. Review Source RM Raquel M. Architectural Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PerformYard Review" July 9, 2024 5.0 Pros The interface is very use friendly making it easy for anyone to access and use for employee/employer reviews. Cons I don't have any comments regarding what I did not like about , so far it has been a great website to use. Review Source TO Tracy O. CHRO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Partnership!" November 4, 2019 4.0 Pros What I like most are the people at ! From the initial interactions with the sales team to the implementation it was clear PerformYard was interested in being my partner in creating a high performing organization. Our account rep consults with me to understand and then find the best solutions for my company. She is a tremendous trainer and supports my learning style by getting on the phone with me when needed! She is friendly, professional, and savvy. The software is user friendly and administrator friendly. The feature I like most for our users are the dashboard, everything in the Goals tab, and the ability for folks to isolate their views with filters or "forms I need to do" section. The "Feedback" button is fast way to share feedback. Overall the software is aesthetically appealing; an important thing to highly visual architects and interior designers. Additionally, the pricing is fair. Cons Only two small things fall on my least list: I don't believe the "activity streams" on the dashboard or in goals are leveraged by our employees. Sometimes the back button does not take you to the previous page but all the way back to the front of the function. On my wishlist: The Feedback icon gives the ability to GIVE feedback to anyone in the organization. I wish we could have the same open design, but in the reverse; allowing anyone in my organization to REQUEST feedback from anyone in the organization. Having open design for both giving feedback and receiving feedback support a culture of feedback! I believe functionality like this would be a differentiator for in the performance market.

Production Operations Associate Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PerformYard Review" June 15, 2024 5.0 Great, it is an ease and simple platform. Tracks necessary information without unnecessary complexities. Pros The simple interface and usability. Tracking quarterly goals ask steps. Like having a quick check list option for reaching goals, this helps me stay on track and lets my manger view where I am in completing a set goal at anytime. Cons Easy and simple interface. The ability to track my progress and personal goals within a team is extremely helpful. Review Source ED Erich D. Curriculum Specialist Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ErPerformYard" June 24, 2024 4.0 Ver good experience and learning too understanding the process.

Portfolio Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perform Yard review" July 2, 2024 5.0 Pros I like that I Can track my progress and go back and forth with my manager Cons took a few times to get used to the platform Review Source NM Nancy M. HR Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HR Director" August 1, 2016 5.0 Our experience with has been outstanding. From the ease of implementation, ability to personalize the set up of the performance process to fit our needs and culture, and the ease of use by managers and employees - All were exceptional! PerformYard architects actually understand HR and the Performance Appraisal process and developed a system that actually works and is amazingly flexible. In implementing the system, I had tons of "how can I do this" questions, and generally the system was already set up to enable what ever I asked for. Pros Flexibility & Control -- We were able to build our own forms, process, timing, everything. It was very important to us to be able to utilize what we had done in the past that was working, that our employees trusted and that aligned with our culture. "Off the shelf" forms would not have done this for us. Also the ability to make changes mid-process with a simple click - by yourself - and instantly implement the change was HUGE. Like adding a sign off, deleting a reviewer, etc. We didn't have to call and put in a work order and wait for days for a return call. Changes happen, and sometimes they are very sensitive and need quick response. Having the ability and confidence to make instant adjustments when needed is critical. The system is very intuitive, little or no management and employee training needed. Also, having the system automatically sending out reminders - and the ability for an employees to personally turn off reminders - are both very helpful. staff are exceptional. All responded quickly, were knowledgeable, and patient. Every person I spoke with was a pleasure to work with. We had PerformYard personnel hold a training session with our managers (via web), and a couple of occasions hold a call with a manager who had more technical systems questions, and again, PerformYard staff were exceptional and answered all questions with ease. Cons Can't think of any! Review Source Response from PerformYard August 2, 2016 Thank you, Nancy! On behalf of the entire PerformYard team, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you over the past year and we hope we can continue to support FlightStats's HR and Performance Appraisal processes for years to come.

Excellent shepherding through the sales process and great onboarding. Could not be happier with our decision. Pros We had a terrible manual, impossible to gauge compliance performance management process. In theory, we were doing all the right things but we needed Perform Yard to help us manage for compliance and better adoption. The extra benefits of reporting, goal setting, onboarding check lists and document storage are superb as well. Cons Nothing yet. so far our experience has been superb. Even the set up was easy with our dedicated customer success manager.

Pros The tracking/percentages of goals and how my manager and I can edit on the same document. Cons Adding goals/ learning how to track it properly? Review Source AE Ally E. Operations Coordinator Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Working our way to a culture-focused, positive environment..." March 1, 2019 5.0 Recommendations to others: Listen to the directions support/representatives give you... they're an excellent source to use, as to not try to do too much right-off-the-bat. I see a lot of companies start huge and they lose control of the systems, then their efforts become a negative, bad-tasting initiative to the team members. Problems solved/benefits: helped our quickly-growing team provide more consistent, necessary, and VERY MUCH desired feedback. In my opinion, this is one of the most important things a firm can semi-easily give an employee. It's so important to help someone learn, grow, and give them the opportunity to succeed; and PerformYard got us about 20 steps closer to the continuing initiative. Pros helped our quickly-growing team provide more consistent, necessary, and VERY MUCH desired feedback. In my opinion, this is one of the most important things a firm can semi-easily give an employee. It's so important to help someone learn, grow, and give them the opportunity to succeed; and PerformYard got us about 20 steps closer to the continuing initiative. Cons I would say the system can be a tad limited, although I understand the majority of these limitations come from keeping customers from trying to do too much and digging themselves a hole (so thank you for helping to pull us in and keep us focused). But, my BIGGEST request/suggestion is to allow multiple-choice questions with MULTIPLE selected answers (ie: select all that apply)... this is something MANY of our questions need, rather than using open-ended or multi-line answer options (as there's no way to turn that information into data).

Enrollment Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tools for Building my Success" May 28, 2024 5.0 Pros I really enjoy this tool in tracking my performance throughout the week, day, year! It allows me to see and track performance statistics I would rather not be able to view at other companies I have experienced in the past. This really allows me to pin point my performance and become not only better at my job for myself but to become more of an asset for my company. Cons There is not really much I don't like about the tools. If there is one thing I would say that could be better, it would be ability to get more updates sooner to my performance tracking.

Review Source LC Lorna C. Human Resources Adviser Warehousing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Support" November 13, 2019 4.0 Our primary goals when we selected (with staff's input as well as management's) were to have a flexible platform to assess everyone's performance in terms of job expectations, competencies and SMART goals as well as to provide staff with the ability to provide feedback or updates to their goals or performance as often as they wished. Both goals are being achieved. Pros From Day 1 we were impressed with the personalized and prompt support. Our Customer Success Manager was knowledgeable, able to show us how to utilize to meet our unique needs, and very responsive when deadlines loomed. Cons Light colored and small lettering on a white background makes reading challenging for users. Some icons or where they're placed are not intuitive.

After creating a form with instructions and a brief description about the organization and our request, we asked each vendor to let us know whether they had each item and provide comments if desired. We picked the two or three vendors that met the highest number of items/criteria, then asked each to conduct two web-based, interactive demonstrations: one to representative staff from each department and one to managers. Staff decided on their preference which the managers agreed to. Review Source DS Daniel S.

There really isn't much negative to say about it other than we don't use it enough and seem to take it for granted. Pros What I like the most about is that it is extremely user-friendly, it contains all of the vital information that I need all sitting at once on the dashboard, and our company uses software for an important reason which is to give the employees an opportunity to write down their personal & professional goals and check in on them at any given time. Cons The only thing that I like least about is that we don't use it enough for other items that would help the employees and even the company as a whole. I firmly believe that we can more use out of this software instead of only using it for employee appraisal and writing down your goals. Review Source mT melissa T.

The interaction between the disciplines without having stop for another meeting makes it even more favorable. Pros gives the employee the opportunity to enter information but also save and return should there be another task needing completions. It also gives you a bird eye view of your strong areas as well as those needing improvement. Cons I wasn’t aware that during the self evaluations,a certain score made a comment mandatory. Review Source JD Jaymie D. Senior Director, HR Business Partner Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PerformYard Goes Above & Beyond" January 2, 2020 5.0 has exceeded our expectations and the entire team has been an outstanding partner to us. We were able to implement an automated performance review process (goal setting, reviews, and feedback tools) in a short period of time. We were also able to make tech changes (PY team made changes to the software code on short-order) when we found ourselves in a pinch due to our own unique rating and % feeds mid-review cycle. No insignificant task on their end, but they made it seem that way given its importance to us. Pros The team and their customer service & support - all around one of the best (i.e. our Acct Director, tech team, owner - everyone we've had the pleasure to work with at has been responsive and swift to help us solve any challenges, implementation, ongoing support). Customization - able to input, modify, and leverage the platform to suit our needs. Automates the single biggest administrative burden for the Company. Personalized attention - from setting up the Agreement between our two companies, the live trainings provided by our Acct Director, the knowledge sharing and guidance the team provides, the swift issue resolution they consistently deliver upon. Integration with our HRIS platform as promised and on-schedule. Cons That is for performance management only. We knew this going into it, however, we'd love to be able to leverage this team's expertise and automated solution(s) for the entire talent management cycle (development, management, succession, compensation). Reason for choosing PerformYard The robustness and customization of the platform; responsiveness of the team, ease of use, training as part of the implementation, cost-benefits of the tool.
