"Big Improvement"
5/5

Small Improvements is a straight forward 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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

There are no downsides on Small Improvements I can think of.

Everything is going well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful HR and Leadership Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Small Improvements?

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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

I do not find anything I do no like about Small Improvements. All their tools have been incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"SI is a great plataform for performance reviews"
5/5
What do you like best about Small Improvements?

I like that 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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

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.

"Solid product with room to improve"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Small Improvements?

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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

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).

"Small Improvements has brought value to our performance management process."
4/5
What do you like best about Small Improvements?

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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

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.

Response from Alec Irion of Small Improvements

Thank you for this review and your feedback! We're always looking to find ways to optimize the overall experience of our customers.

"best performance reviews and feedback software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Small Improvements?

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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

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.

Response from Alec Irion of Small Improvements

Thank you for the review!! We want to provide a top tier platform that is easy to use for all of our customers.

I also appreciate your feedback on more guidance for new users. We'll continue to add to and enhance our help and guidance resources to make using Small Improvements the easiest and most efficient it can be.

"Great performance management platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Small Improvements?

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.

What do you dislike about Small Improvements?

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.
