It can be used by small to midsize businesses in a number of industries, including IT, retail, apparel, finance and media. Small Improvements is comprised of four integrated modules. Performance reviews let everyone, manager and employee alike, know where they stand, and offer both praise and hints to improve. 360-degree feedback allows employees to receive feedback from everyone - coworkers, manager and clients. Once this feedback is collected and the performance review is finished, Small Improvements gives users a way to create and track their personal development plan based on that feedback. Companies with longer review cycles can use continuous feedback to send quick words of praise, propose ideas and make suggestions and comments, which can be both public or private, depending on the message and company culture.

No incentive was offered I use Small Improvements to manage the objectives of my software development team. I use the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) method, which works pretty well with Small Improvements. I just list the key results in the description of the objective. The comments can then reference one of the key results. Originally we set the objectives semesterly, and they got lost amid the day-to-day work we do. We then changed to quarterly objectives, and that works much better. I work together with my employees to set the objectives, and they know pretty well what they need to accomplish throughout the quarter. It is important that the tool sends out emails to remind people of their objectives. I can really see how employees are working on the objectives throughout the quarter. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 #### Pros - Manager and employee can continuously add comments to an objective to document milestones achieved, praises given, or changes in the objectives. At the end of the quarter I just read through them to come of with a rating for the objective - Daily digest to employees shows them when comments are added to objectives, and reminds them to log in to the system and keep a running update on their objectives - Performance reviews are done in writing by both employee and manager. Only after both parties see each others review we meet in person to discuss. This gives both parties the chance to think about the review of the other party, which leads to a fruitful discussion. #### Cons - User interface is sometimes a bit confusing. There are multiple views of the objectives, and you can do different things in each. Since the tool doesn't get used every day I often find myself trying to remember where I can e.g. set the rating on an objective. - The tool offers a number of configurations, but it doesn't really guide you on a best practice of how to set and track objectives. I would love the tool to have a wizard to set up e.g. OKR that explains how to map that to the tool. --- ### An amazing Performance Review Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It is easy for our team to work with it. Setting goals and tracking them has never been this easy. With it, our performance reviews are faster and enjoyable. The kudos feature is nice for appreciating the team for their great work. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is a great software to use in setting goals and tracking them. It is easy to use and customize. Performance cycles can be created for all employees in the organization or just a section of them. It is easy to switch between different cycles to track the performances of different teams or individuals. The ability to generate charts to display the performance reviews makes comparison easy. The 1:1 meeting feature enables one to schedule a meeting and set the objectives for that conversation. It also provides feedback on all previously held meetings and the outcome of those meetings which makes it easy to keep track of progress over time. It allows one to send reminders to the team to prompt them to take a specified action. The employee's self-evaluation is listed side by side against that of the manager which makes it easy for the employee to compare the assessments and opens up room for a conversation regarding what can be improved on. #### Cons Whereas the software is affordable for a small business, it becomes increasingly costly as the firm grows. It does not have a free version, offers a free trial though. #### Reasons for choosing Small Improvements Whereas 15Five is a great software for performance management, Small Improvements seemed sufficient enough for our needs and was more affordable than 15Five. --- ### It's been okay. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The aesthetic is nice, and using/sharing the 9-box grid with people your managing works well for peer reviews. #### Cons It's easy to get disorganized or not easily find reviews you've been in for other people. Could link to reviews you're in the day of for easy access. --- ### Easy to use for small offices with limited HR capacity - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bailey K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This seems like a really nice and innovative company. They provided us with a nonprofit license and it is so greatly appreciated! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I got our annual review process out to everyone within minutes. It's all online and there's no paperwork to deal with until you print the very final version and put them in the folders. The other neat thing is the "Praise" feature. Although I would like greater participation, I have it synched with Slack so that staff can put in almost no effort to praise their colleagues in such a way that it's recorded to their personnel files. That's awesome. #### Cons Some staff members haven't really adopted this for real use to check in on goals. I don't see it as a major issue with the software, but it might reflect on its usability. --- ### Easy feedback collector for agile improvements cycle - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are able to track weekly highs and lows for our team-members. Feature that enable and overall comment / result for each 1:1 meeting would be great. Example: cancelled, or cancelled and reason as holidays, etc. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Customizable templates for 1:1 meetings and cycle reviews processes facilitates each type of meeting and how different managers approaches his team-members. Integration with outlook also helps preventing scheduling pain-points. #### Cons Sometimes it not easy to look / browse for previous meeting notes. I would like to have few more integrations available. --- ### Works well, but unsure if it's truly helpful - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, small improvements has been with our company for over 2 years, and it is used widely. It's a key tool in keeping track of our company, departmental, and individual goals. Overall, we have a positive experience with it, but I'm not sure if it's fully worth the cost. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Small improvements has a really intuitive interface, and is incredibly easy to use. I like that we can see everyone's goals, company wide. Great tool for transparency. #### Cons While it's an interesting tool to use, I'm not sure that it's something that we truly need in our arsenal. If I had to cut our tools budget, SI might not make the cut. --- ### Very user-friendly performance review system - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Small Improvements is an easy-to-use performance review system that allows a collaborative review between the employee and supervisor. I love that you're able to let the employee self evaluate their own performance and compare against the manager's notes. The program allows for open dialogue on improvements for the future. The signing of reviews is an easy process. #### Cons Writing out answers to each section takes a decent amount of time to complete. Probably could provide some additional functionality in ratings outside of essay responses. --- ### Really initiative - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I like their customer service. They've always responded in a timely manner. There might be a line, but I've never been able to reach anyone. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros There's lot of different performance review softwares out there but Small Improvement gets the job done. You can do peer 360's, self review, and manager reviews. I really like that you can set a timeline for what works for you and send out notifications as you please. #### Cons I wish that they had an anonymous feedback feature. While it states that they do have this feature, the anonymous feedback gets sent from one person to the other without notifying either managers or the HR admins, which could be problematic in case you want to monitor the feedback, or make sure that it's actionable and not hurtful. --- ### Intuitive interface but a little pricey - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ryan S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I love how intuitive the interface is. When we bring in a new hire, we don't have to help them get started with Small Improvements. It is easy for managers to note milestones and overall I think it is a very good tool for goal tracking. #### Cons The cost is fine for a tiny company, but it is pricey for a medium sized company. --- ### Good performance review tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Stephanie H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This software is straightforward and easy for every level of user. It has helped capture performance review data in an easily customizable form. #### Cons Pretty simple software, no cons I can think of. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 34 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/small-improvements-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Performance Management System Software [BambooHR](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/bamboohr-profile/) **4.6** (3557) Recently recommended **583** times [Paycom](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/paycom-profile/) **4.4** (1393) Recently recommended **447** times [Rippling](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/rippling-profile/) **4.9** (4871) Recently recommended **382** times [TriNet HR Plus](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/zenefits-profile/) **4.2** (823) Recently recommended **278** times Stuck Between Options?
