Small Improvements Reviews & Product Details

It is a great tool for small size company. Easy to set up at an affordable rate. My company uses the review, objective/goal setting and schedule meeting for regular check-in. I like the ongoing feedback and can praise the coworkers/managers when they do a good job or show appreciation. Good customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be a challenge to customize the tools. My company is looking into tracking the quarterly rating for employees without employee and manager input. The review cycle function does not have such capability that we have to track them in a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small Improvements is a straightforward tool. Easy to onboard employees, set up new meeting templates, and recurring 1:1s. The templates provided have been enough for our team and have improved our way of doing or performance reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downsides on Small Improvements I can think of. Everything is going well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like that Small Improvements can be customized to fit our needs. The cascading goals is a wonderful tool for leadership to pass on goals to their team. Our leadership does find it very easy to follow the platform as well. If we ever have issues, their customer service responds rather quickly and is able to help us out.

Easy to use! Fun to see what praises are sent out within the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looking at past praises is difficult unless you want to use an Excel spreadsheet. I would like to be able to see the actual praise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is easy to set up and that it gives you a structure also that you get a lot of notifications when doing a performance review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are currently doing peer reviews, without employees having to add any reviews physically. We are not able to remove the text box it would be good to be able to remove. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that 1:1 notes, goals, and performance review content can all be kept in one place. I also appreciate the efforts made to make the work of managers less overwhelming, and the relative ease of navigation. And, the automation between Small Improvements and Google Calendar is very handy. Customer support has also been very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small Improvements is one of the only tools of its kind on the market that doesn't offer goal trees (individual performance goals linked to team performance goals linked to department goals linked to company goals), which means we either have to build the trees externally or otherwise engage all of our users on how their work connects to broader impact. I'd also love to see more embedded AI (example: with access to six months of data from goal progress, notes, feedback, etc. on a direct report, AI assist for managers on answering performance review questions).

Keeps most performance related data in one place. Creates a process for scheduling annual reviews. Really like the praise feature. The objectives feature is really great, especially since managers and HR can have visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little clunky at times. Doesn't account for reviews based on anniversary dates, instead of annual cycles. Emails aren't always clear. Only partially integrates with BambooHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to set up reviews and track employee goals. The interface is clear, and it helps us give feedback more often and more effectively. I also like the option where you can set your performance on the graph and compare it with your managers feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is quite a bit of complicated to get everything set up, also more guidance to this tool when you are new would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small improvements integration with BambooHR takes away the manual requirement to upload all the users Ability to configure the system to use your language (ie changing the words performance reviews) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is quite a bit of admin to get everything set up, and setting up the performance review cycles feels a bit clunky sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Small Improvements for approximately five years now, and our staff have fully embraced the platform. We use it for goal setting, feedback, 1:1 meetings, reviews and kudos.

Whenever I have had any type of issue, the customer service has been top notch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limitations but that comes down to technology limitations. We have a very flat org structure, and some staff have a direct Manager and some do not, they only have a Coach, we have not been able to group those as one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
