"The best tool and the best team behind it!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

I find the Small Improvement tool easy and straightforward to use. It has many functionalities - and the team behind it is really listening to the feedback, aligning it with their vision and working on delivering the best solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

There is not much I can mention here. The only issues you will have is if their philosophy of approaching the team feedback, performance etc does not align with the logic behind the tool. They are taking a lot of feedback in and working on man features, so what I miss most right now is the 1:1 advanced functionalities. And probably also a bit more advanced analytics for performance & 360 feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not too easy to use"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

It can integrate with other office products like slack, and the UI is comfortable to use. You can get notified if your coworkers have said something remarkable to other coworkers in slack when using small improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

It is sometimes confusing to navigate through the system, and the review system is hard to use (or maybe both my boss and I didn't quite understand how to edit our reviews). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mark Jack of Small Improvements

Hi Ben,

Thanks for taking the time to record this. It’s great that you’re enjoying using the Slack integration with Small Improvements to give each other shout-outs and regularly recognize contributions.

As you note, getting the balance between a flexible tool and one that offers a more prescriptive process is a challenge. Thanks for your feedback on this – I’ll let the team know.

Best wishes

3.5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

Ability to customize questions and integrates with Slack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

Set up for annual, traditional reviews. Name implies all improvements are small and all need improvement--like a disciplinary plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Small Improvements increases engagement in reviews and morale of the team"

5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

I love that Small Improvements facilitates giving "praises" (kudos, shoutouts, or whatever you'd like to call it). We use these to facilitate rewards around living out our company's values. It integrates with Slack so people can easily see them in a channel as well. As a people manager, it's been a major improvement to how we do reviews (see what I did there?). Our previous system was bulky and frustrating; Small Improvements has a nice interface, can be branded with company created avatars, and makes it easy to give and get reviews. My weekly 1:1s with each team members are easy to notate in the system, and I love that during review time you get a drawer with all your meetings, awards, and helpful notes from the year! The \settings are robust for our visibility-needs. I've been beyond pleased with my company's switch to this system! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

I'm having a hard time thinking of anything I actually dislike. It would be great if we could skin the button colors of the system to be more 'branded' so it feels even more like us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Small Improvements:

Get your team on board with training to use it (it's crazy easy) and encourage people to use it on a daily basis with note-taking in meetings, setting goals and initiatives, creating templates for meeting types, and giving positive reinforcement with praises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Small Improvements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've seen increased team morale and strengthened cross-functional relationships with praises. Weekly syncs with my team members have become effortless to track! I can hold myself and others accountable to their growth opportunities and next steps to achieve goals. Reviews have become easier and less time consuming to put together.

"Small Improvements Helps My Team Manage Big Goals"

5/5

What do you like best about Small Improvements?

SI is a great platform for managing both big goals and overall 360 reviews. I haven't used competitors' products to compare, but as a new user, Small Improvements has exceeded my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

Our company uses Small Improvements with a Critical 3's style project management system, which is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's easy to track progress on big projects, but on the other, if your role has recurring work, Critical 3's may not be as useful to you. It all depends on the management style.
