"Great platform with exceptional support from beggin to end"
5/5
What do you like best about Worksmith Workforce?

There system is well thought out and very intuative. They followup extremely quickly and we have yet to find any thing that they have not been able to fix or explain well. The system is easy to impliment and they do most of the heavy lifting of getting the process going and importing all the stuff into the platform. Customer support is beyond normal levels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worksmith Workforce?

No much that we have found. Obviously there is a cost commitment, but then there is also a leadership commitment that comes with implimenting a robust traininig platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great to Use and seamless integration!"

There are many functions that are still being worked into the platform but that is expected with a start-up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful for general retail and great analytics, not entirely suitable for our niche industry."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Worksmith Workforce?

The platform is highly customizable and easy enough to manage. The breakdown of sections into small increments definitely helps with retention and progressive completion. The user analytics is very useful for keeping your team on track and seeing who is actively participating and making progress. There are great customer service modules which help set your team up for success with selling and knowing how to engage properly. The animations and visual graphics are a great tool for breaking down the core concepts and retaining knowledge. Overall, there are a lot of useful general retail training components that are best applied to newer sales associates or those without any prior experience. The materials are presented in a clear, appropriate and orderly fashion, and the platform is easy to navigate. You can create custom modules and materials with the assistance of the progress team which is helpful with tailoring your training to your businesses specific needs.

What do you dislike about Worksmith Workforce?

Some employees have a hard time taking Terry seriously, the persona doesn’t resonate with everyone. Many of the customer service modules operate based on a "perfect scenario" basis and do not address how to manage overtly difficult situations or customers. The reality of how customers actually interact is missing and renders the roleplays more "fantasy" than anything. There were a few sections which focus on attitude and positivity that do not address mental health and instead push a sort of "just get over it and decide to be happy" attitude which can be seriously insensitive and unrealistic. Overall, we found the platform to be most useful for newer employees with very little or no retail experience, and less useful for those who have been in the industry for a long time. We also work in a very specific sector of retail which requires more scientific and product specific knowledge that is not readily available on this platform as it focuses on general retail. While there is the ability to create custom modules suited to our business, we found that there are other platforms which are specifically built around our industry and hold more materials to that effect - which lessens the work on our end.

"Streamlining & Simplifying our Communication as We Grow"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Worksmith Workforce?

Progress helped solve our challenge with our Head Office Team communicating with our 4 locations. Additionally they helped us create a great and effcient way to share our story with new hires and continue to elevate our teams through continuous accounable training programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worksmith Workforce?

Honestly, we do not have anything. Any feedback we gave The Progress Team, they were able to help find a solution for or develop a way for our thoughts to be incorporated into the overall platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Franny's Framacy"
5/5
What do you like best about Worksmith Workforce?

They catered to our specific needs and the platform itself has invaluable information. The timeliness for questions and attention to detail we well above my expectations. Ray and Megan are extremely helpful folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worksmith Workforce?

The length of some of the training videos are pretty long, but I do realize that this is an ongoing process. I found that some of my employees got distracted, but that was fixed by showing them how to use the platform as opposed to trying to complete everything at once.

"They cover all the areas retailers should be getting their staff trained on."
5/5
What do you like best about Worksmith Workforce?

The platform is easy to navigate. Their staff is attentive, responsive and adaptable. They are detail-oriented, easy to get along with and consistently going above and beyond to create the best experience I could ask for our staff. They make roll out/launch easy with step by step directions and a timeline that lays out the expectations. They already have a great platform, but are still working on adding more content and honing in on areas where training is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worksmith Workforce?

I've been completely satisfied with Progress at this point. No platform is perfect, but they are willing to add things when its requested. A lot of the things I'd like to see added, they are already working on. No complaints at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive retail training program with tons of aftermarket support."
5/5
What do you like best about Worksmith Workforce?

Progress Retail increased our store's (6) sales numbers, specifically helping to engage customers, create customer retention, and increase ATV. There has also been less turnover with our staff. They are enjoying the workplace more because they are better equipped on the sales floor, and also with the new interpersonal skills they have gained when interacting with one another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worksmith Workforce?

It takes a reasonable amount of dedication to get the program properly going. You and your managers must be actively on board with implementation and this can be a challenge. But as with anything, if you want something worth its weight, it takes effort to make it happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
