Overall, I have had a positive experience with People Element. Although, I feel like they need to improve the reporting structure.

Pros

I like how it is simple to send out surveys and the customization of the survey aspect.

Cons

I think that it needs some improvement on the reporting and analytics side as well as the ease of use for inputting and editing employee/individual information.

Review source

Trying to improve employee engagement.

Pros

Website is generally easy to use and is fast.

Cons

Comment Reporting by group has a sorting problem. Sorts each set of comments per question by alpha, so you can't tell what that group's comments are. The Comment Reporting function should in a more prominent place. Definitions of survey specific words could be hotlinked, such as "Favorability," so it's easy for an occasional user to understand the survey terms.

I recommend it highly. Some companies you begrudgingly endorse, but People Element is not one of those at all.

Pros

Functionality, Ease of use, powerful tools, great support.

Cons

No. Nothing comes to mind. We use it specifically for Exit Interviews, but look forward to expanding into more use cases.

Reasons for choosing People Element

I implemented PE at another organization, and it's a powerful tool yet easy to use.

Pros

Customer service has been stellar! They are our favorite tool of all of our HR systems!

Pros

It's easy to use for administrators and users. You can pull a lot of data from a simple survey. The ROI here is huge! From engagement surveys to post-training surveys.

Cons

The only real downside we have encountered is our team receives a lot of phishing emails so making sure everyone in the organization knows that emails from PeopleElement are real and safe to click the links. Using their texting feature may help this - we have not set that up yet.
