"This system has been effective in converting our organization from a paper based form to electronic!"

5/5

What do you like best about emPerform?

The entire system! Having all information tied to the review, the ability to create reports with graphics for our senior leaders, and the way the workflow moves the form from one leader to the next are some of my favorites. The compensation and succession planning modules are very easy to implement and our leaders like these features as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about emPerform?

If I had to pick something I dislike, I would say it's not having the ability to view all employees (if you have a large number on your team) on the landing page and once you click out of an employee, you are routed all the way back to the home page. It's a minor item, but leaders have asked me if this ever will be a functionality in the future. I tell them maybe! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I recently partnered with our emPerform rep to create a customized report during our goal setting activity. During this step in our process, this report allowed the leaders to review all goals set and ensure they are tied to our strategic objectives and departmental goals. There is so much that the system can do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent customer services with CRG emPerform!"

4/5

What do you like best about emPerform?

Implementation into emPerform was painless, and I felt guided throughout the process. My account manager spent a good amount of time ensuring I am always set up for success. She is available for one-off follow-ups and to help me make changes year over year. I appreciate how easy the system is to use from an employee's perspective. We've had a great experience over the last two years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about emPerform?

The system isn't the flashiest but I have all of the fields I need for successful annual emplpoyee evaluations. This isn't an issue but I find it challenging to make larger changes on my own. It isn't an issue because my account manager is great and will always jump on a call to walk me through the changes I want to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering emPerform:

One of the best things about emPerform is the customer service and as someone with a small HR team, having that hands-on support has been a lifesaver. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a well-round utility system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With emPerform we implemented an annual performance plan for each employee. We can collect and share feedback through the plan (calendar) year and prompt quarterly check-ins between managers and employees. Additionally, we built out a more concise year-end review process.

"The implementation and ongoing support of our system is so thorough and timely. Couldn't be happier!"

5/5

What do you like best about emPerform?

I most appreciate the support we've had from Ben since our implementation, who continues to guide us through utilizing the system. I also like how intuitive the system's administration is once you understand it, making it easier to create appraisals or forms to be precisely how you want them to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about emPerform?

The only thing I don't like about the system is the On-Demand Forms settings which can't be adjusted after launching. However, I can create Appraisals or one-off On-Demand Forms for all the same things that I may have used On-Demand Forms anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
