Actus Reviews & Product Details

Actus the company was founded by Lucinda Carney, a respected Chartered Occupational Psychologist and former Head of Learning & Development at Siemens. After years of experiencing first-hand the challenges of making Performance Management meaningful, she decided to set up Actus in 2012 offering Software that would overcome these challenges and with Training and Consultancy services to support it. Actus is The Complete Performance, Learning & Talent Suite. Our Software is exceptionally intuitive and fully comprehensive, which means you can use just one system to meet all your performance management needs. Our Software includes Performance Management (with more standard features than our competitors), Learning Management, Talent Management, 360 Feedback, HRIS & Absence and Compliance. Our suite of products are also supported by open and bespoke training, consultancy services and value-added thought leadership resources authored by Chartered Occupational Psychologist and CEO of Actus, Lucinda Carney. We believe that to embed lasting, positive change, an organisation needs more than a very simple ‘off the shelf’ software that acts as a ‘tick box’ exercise. They need a system that will evolve with their needs as they grow and one that can be supported with the right training and consultancy options should they require them. So, if you are looking for Software that will evolve with your organisations needs, eradicate the need for multiple complex systems and support you with real lasting culture change, then get in touch with us.

"Excellent product, highly configurable and great value"

5/5

What do you like best about Actus?

This system is feature rich, providing a full suite of performance management tools from objectives to 121 to development to appraisal. It also provides Learning & Development, talent management, recognition and feedback functionality which is getting lots of buy in from end users. It is mobile friendly so can be used on the move which increases staff buy in. So far we have found it highly versatile and great value and would very much recommend both the software and the service provided by the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Actus?

It would be great to be able to deliver feedback through an app - however I believe this is on the roadmap and will be available later in the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Actus:

Definitely speak to these guys, they have huge amounts of HR and OD experience and provide us with this as part of the service. The software is priced very competitively too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Actus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We introduced this system to help us to embed a culture change, showing how much we value our staff by improving the quality of our performance conversations and offering improved career opportunities. The system is bringing greater focus and engagement with good buy in from staff. We hope it will help demonstrate how far we have come as a trust at our next CQC visit.

"Review of Actus people Management system"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Actus?

Actus is a very user friendly system and very intuitive to use. As the Project officer and being responsible for training staff on the system it has been very easy for me to do this. The support from the team over at Actus has been second to none and any queries that have arisen have been dealt with promptly. Also they have worked with us to build a system that works for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Actus?

The data upload side of things is a bit of a struggle as it is very time consuming but this isn't a fault with the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Actus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an area where all information to do with performance management can be stored throughout the the year so when it comes the the end of year appraisal conversation both the appraiser and appraisee will be better prepared and more meaningful and quality conversation can be had. We are also currently looking at moving our nurse revalidation over to Actus and from what I have seen so far this looks good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Eight month review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Actus?

We have been using Actus for eight months now. I have found the Support team at Actus to be very responsive to both support and development requests. As I am in Canada, there is a six hour time difference. This has really worked to our advantage, as while we are sleeping, the Actus team is answering our questions and we start the next day off with any problem already solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Actus?

It times out a bit too quickly when one is inactive. I understand that must be for security purposes, bout it would be nice if you could manually set this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Actus:

This is a good time to make sure that all your job titles/ roles are up-to-date and they will all be uploaded from Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Actus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had several gaps that were able to be closed by using Actus. This includes documentation of the one to one meetings, tracking performance to objectives and competencies, and streamlining mid-year and year-end performance reviews. As a result of using Actus, documentation has been greatly improved and the amount of time needed to write mid-year and annual reviews has been reduced dramatically. An added bonus was that certifications that need to be reviewed on an annual basis are now automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
