StaffCircle - Performance Management Platform Reviews & Product Details

I like StaffCircle platform because it has a user-friendly interface which provides me a structured review. It has a goal tracking feature and has regular feedback which keeps the performance consistent and more meaningful than usual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike this application because it has a limited reporting feature. One more thing which is left is that it has only some fewer third-party integration access as compared to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to use Staff Circle to pull through data has been amazing and has significantly reduced our administrative processes! The ease of implementation was critical and our requirements were met with great customer support from Faye Miles! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, we are very happy with the Staff Circle and the platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Staff Circle has been easy to use and manage, with improvements coming all the time to make the system more user friendly. We have 390 employees and the platform is able to tell us at a glance high achieve people through to underperforming staff - we're able to have multiple managers review an individual, which works for us as we share labour across the group.

Nothing so far, where we have had minor technical issues, these have been easily resolved with the technical team at Staff Circle, who are always quick to respond with clear instructions or Teams call and share how to fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the % scoring for the objectives, it's a great way to track progress over a certain period of time. I never had any formal training but being in IT I have found the tool to be straightforward and it's become a part of our everyday line management duties. Anyone can update their objectives before a performance review including any processes or milestones which have been key to achieving their objective. The clone option for objects is great. I don't personally engage with support as this is managed by the HR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think historically it felt a bit sluggish and clunky. The UI was also terrible but seeing the changes made over the last 4 years have made it a lot smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is integrated into Teams, however the interaction and information that you get and can get are limited to the online platform. Whereas a lot of companies are now going for the UC environment with Teams, the more integration the better experience for the users. I do like the simplicity of it all, and navigation through it if you want to book days off or check the latest news on what's happening in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it doesn't block out the whole day in your diary like our previous tool. It just shows it at the top of the calendar day, so some silly people still go and try to book in my diary. The AI aspect or bot section on Teams could have better instructions and commands that you can use. If it looked similar to the online version it would be so much better and would increase interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's always a pleasant surprise when you receive an email from 'Staff Circle'. To know that someone, somewhere, appreciated something you did, and took the time to document it. It only takes less than one minute to return the favour and make someone else's day - and it's free! Why not give it a go?

Also, as a fairly new member of staff to the Department, having everyone's, Name, Role, Department and Manager recorded in alphabetical order, helps me to locate staff with ease Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Objectives and Review. I am yet to familiarise myself with these functions, but as of yet, I am still in the learning stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be highlighted is StaffCircle's user-friendly interface and intuitive design that aims to simplify the performance review process for both managers and employees. The platform emphasizes streamlining tasks like goal setting, continuous feedback, and review cycles. It gives a comprehensive view of the everybody's holiday and how it affects me. It has also been easy to integrate into what we use and easier to get into which has informed the frequency of its use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I'm a relatively new user of this platform, I haven't noticed anything particularly outstanding yet. Admittedly, getting started with it felt a bit unfamiliar at first, but I've grown accustomed to it over time. Any questions that I have had has been easily answered by the customer service team.

You can find out up to date information about the company on the feed, also monitor objectives which require completion and update management via the platform to advise if you are on track with the objectives. I like the layout of the "Time-Off" tab, which shows you in detail, days you have taken off due to sickness or Annual Leave and its very easy to book time off here as well.

I do not dislike anything about Staff Circle, I find it to be very user friendly and a website where I can find and request everything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Staffcircle does let me easily schedule and manage performance reviews for my team. I like that it automatically books in the next review and integrates well with Microsoft Teams to let me know when goals are updated or when reviews are due. It does provide a good framework for performance reviews and setting goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are lots of graphs and charts on the service without the axis labelled and no explanation for what they're supposed to represent. Data without context isn't much use to anyone. Perhaps you could add a (?) button to explain what the charts are supposed to mean.

Setting goals outside of performance reviews seems to be pretty clumsy - I've often gone into a future review and set them from there because it's easier than trying to navigate other ways.

Additionally, deleting scheduled reviews seems to require special permissions that I, as a manager, don't have. Perhaps this is an organisational thing but if I've created a review, I should be able to delete it.

The general UX needs to be improved. For example, it takes several clicks to get the reviewee's feedback side by side with my feedback. There are quite a few examples of things that are quite counter-intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a recent upgrade to managing another member of staff, I have found the Holidays authorisation platform an amazing help, the holiday calendar helps me to see if there are any other team members are off which may need to be taken into consideration before an authorisation. Confirmation of dates taken and pending are clearly shown and number of days left to take - it really has made life so much easier. thank you StaffCircle! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Took a little while to figure out how to have my notifications as 'read' - this is not an issue with the platform, just me...getting older! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
