Avis clients sur WorkStory

So much easier than survey-based performance reviews.

Commentaires : We're saving a ton of time and effort with WorkStory. From an operational perspective, my HR department and I don't have to spend hours managing the performance review process anymore - following up with team members to get theirs done. For managers, they can be much more effective in sharing targeted performance opportunities with their team members. For employees, they don't have to worry anymore about filling out forms for each other (we do 360 reviews) twice a year. More importantly, they can see how well they're doing throughout the year and work to improve themselves with the help of the team's feedback.

Avantages :

WorkStory is so easy to use because it works entirely through our Slack workspace. Our team simply answers one-off review questions as they come in, throughout the week - just as if they were chatting with another team member. Then, based on all of those answers, we can clearly see and share how well team members are performing throughout the year, rather than having to wait for performance reviews to take place.

Inconvénients :

I feel like the platform could benefit from having a more robust system for pulse surveys. We're able to take advantage of it now, sending various cultural questions to our team, but it would be nice to craft groups of questions at a time rather than one-by-one.

Review of WorkStory

Commentaires : I think WorkStory is great. Is is very easy to use and there is a lot of application. I think the hardest part is figuring out how do you apply the information that you received. There is a ton of data, and feedback. It can be hard to keep track and really figure out what you can do with all of these insights and ensuring that your managers and others are taking advantage of it. As such if you are using Workstory you for sure need to have someone who is staying up to date with it. Who is thoughtful enough to interpret the feedback, provide insights and to encourage others to use it.

Avantages :

I have not seen anything on market that does what WorkStory does. There are a lot of feedback programs out there but they take a lot of work and can be very distracting. I like how WorkStory integrates easily into Slack. Reviews can all be done in Slack, so no having to go into another program to do your review. I like how you can schedule reviews on a regular cadence and get prompted to give feedback with specific questions. It is also nice to go into their dashboard as an employee or manager and to see what people having been giving you for feedback. As a manager you can also see how your team is doing as well. The process of doing a review is very simple and really takes someone just a minute or two a week to fill out.

Inconvénients :

Workstory is great software. a couple of things that I think could be improved on 1) It can be hard to manage cadence and quantity of reviews. For instance, when a new hire joins the team you need to set them up to ensure that they are getting reviewed and are reviewing others. There is no way that I know of currently that shows you a nice summary of all employees and who they are reviewing and who is reviewing them without going into each individual profile. As such I track this offline. I do this because we want to ensure that people are not overloaded with reviews and I want something that easily shows me at a glance the quantity of reviews 2) Also when you set up the cadence you put down how often you want reviews to occur. There is no way to individualize this so if the cadence is every 2 weeks, if you have a manager who has 15 people assigned to them they would be doing 15 reviews whereas someone with only 2 reports assigned to them would be doing 2. 3) Also the system works/requires ratings. This can be both good and bad. For our team I have found that having ratings for reviews sometimes caused employees to become to fixated on the rating and less focused on the review. Also employees tended to rate employees higher because they didn't want to offend them 4) Also there is a ton of data. Sometimes it can be difficult to keep track of all of the feedback.

Big Process Improver

Avantages :

Quick and easy wait to leave and receive feedback. I think this is a huge improvement on our process as a company. Being able to easily leave realtime feedback cuts down on extra information that I need to keep track of.

Inconvénients :

The interface can be a little clunky. When a review comes in via email, it is not always clear whether clicking the score will submit the feedback or if it is required to click submit on the window that opens. When in the web application, missed reviews could just show at the top of the screen one at a time without having to open a different page. Would be nice to see some more positive feedback like a colored background on the feedback chart. e.g. scores of 60 or above are green, anything below is orange. To counteract the subconscious assumption that anything that scores below 90/100 needs improvement.

Great way to remove the hassle out of 360 reviews

Commentaires : I was looking for a 360 review software that 1) doesn't take more than a few seconds, 2) can be done completely within Microsoft Teams, 3) aggregates the data for our users to use/see immediately. Workstory hits on all the points above. Most of the challenging part of using the software is on the backend but they have a team ready to assist with this whenever needed.

Avantages :

Completing a 360 degree review can be a tedious process, especially if you have a large number of colleagues you work with. Workstory effectively removes the hassle out of the review process by drip feeding the questions one at a time. Being able to complete the questions fully within Microsoft Teams also helps reduce downtime for reviewers as they don't need to navigate into a separate platform to provide their feedback.

Inconvénients :

The backend or administrator view isn't great. It's not too intuitive in terms of where I'm supposed to go to view certain information. Adding/removing/modifying questions for multiple users can also be a bit of a hassle if I want to do it myself. Thank fully they've got an incredibly responsive team that helps with this process.

WorkStory helps us collect data across the entire review period without relying on our memory

Commentaires : Support has been excellent! [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team are very responsive and have been open to our suggestions. Very happy with WorkStory!

Avantages :

We are a Microsoft Teams company and I love that WorkStory integrates seamlessly with Teams. Poll questions come through on a Teams Chat channel and allows users to quickly answer the question in just a couple of minutes.

Inconvénients :

I am hoping that we will eventually be able to customize the end of year/period reporting to easily pull in all of the comments for the period along with the summary ratings.

Work Story Review

Commentaires : Again, I think it's a wonderful service. I see it being implemented in my work and I know that my managers take the ratings very seriously and account for what is missing in our pre-shifts and focus points each week.

Avantages :

I love how it connects to Slack effortlessly. This helps as I am typically only on Slack for work and thus can simultaneously submit my daily or weekly WorkStory. The parameters are also extremely clear and easy to use. For my restaurant, we have clear values that we try to uphold as servers, and WorkStory was easily programmed to represent those and rate one another.I like the option of being anonymous as well as it allows upper management to potentially focus on and correct any behavior not up to our standards.

Inconvénients :

As a server using the software, I find it extremely easy to use. I know it took a bit to get me set up via Slack, but once I was, it was seamless. I think if it's not connected to an app such as Slack, the emails and constant signing in stopped me from actually giving feedback. Potentially making the sign and review process as seamless on the site/via reminder emails may incentivize other businesses that may or may not have the service connected to a group messenger such as Slack.

My favorite tool in our tech stack

Commentaires : The team is fantastic! They respond within 12 hours (most the time sooner) are willing to walk anyone through any part of the process and the value of the tool is tremendous when compared to avoiding the damage you face with letting a bad culture develop and avoiding HR nightmares.

Avantages :

The ability to track employee performance over time allows me to have a record of key players and more importantly call out those who are not the right fit. Usually it is a struggle to gather enough documentation which further degrades the culture. This allows us to reward the over performers and get the bad eggs out asap.

Inconvénients :

Logging in and getting it connected to slack is a few too many steps. We have lots of people who speak Spanish and those who aren’t the best with technology in the restaurant industry. If there were only 1-2 that would be ideal but I understands making things extra simple is even harder. A Spanish translation would be amazing too!

A modern and efficient review practice for companies of all sizes.

Commentaires : Our review process has become much more streamlined thanks to WorkStory. We are able to use a new-aged method with more conventional ways to help better the progress made by those working for our organization.

Avantages :

Integration was simple and customized to our specific organization. The costs are very reasonable and help fill a role in the review process that can otherwise be time consuming and frustrating. The client relations are excellent. The way in which the software can be tailored to the client is robust and flexible.

Inconvénients :

Our main challenge thus far has been with employee engagement, but has slowly improved once familiarity is gained.

Performance Evaluation in Real Time with Real Results

Avantages :

WorkStory (GetSpeedBack) has been a game changer in improving how our management team is providing constructive feedback to our team members on their skills and abilities. By answering randomized performance questions on a regular basis, we are able to provide support before a skill/knowledge gap becomes a liability and also provide authentic gratitude to those meeting and exceeding expectations, rather than waiting six months to a year to provide formal performance feedback. The software is easy to use, convenient for busy professionals, and was breeze to customize to our needs. Personally, I always dreaded the task of performance evaluations, but with WorkStory I look forward to answering a few questions weekly and using the insights regularly in 1:1 meetings.

Inconvénients :

Integrating WorkStory into our business processes was extremely easy. After adjusting some settings, we were able to find a frequency that satisfied our management team.

Helpful tool is getting consistent feedback!

Commentaires : Overall it has been a great experience! The team has been very helpful and responsive, including providing recommendations and taking feedback.

Avantages :

It's great that it is designed specifically to gather ongoing feedback in small snippets.

Inconvénients :

At times the use of the tool on the backend is not as intuitive as I would like, making it a little challenging to make changes or to look at the data the way I would like.

Honest review from an employee whose company has been using this

Commentaires : Great! Nothing to really complain about

Avantages :

I like the kind of questions it asks, the fact that it works with Microsoft Teams, and I especially love the AI generation of summaries - I found mine to be very on point with what my colleagues think of me

Inconvénients :

The participation count when it sends me summaries of how much I participated before I can even complete the last few questions

PN Review

Commentaires : Although I haven't been using it for long, I appreciate the ability to provide continuing feedback to team members, as well as being able to review what my peers have rated / commented about my performance so I can make changes on an ongoing basis.

Avantages :

I like it's connection to Microsoft TEAMS and how easy it is to use. I also like that it allows for continual feedback among team members and not just a "yearly review".

Inconvénients :

I haven't been using it for log, so nothing yet that I dislike. The only thing I can think of is that I've had to select "I am not sure" multiple times since I am being asked about team members on activities I am not involved and do not know if they are performing effectively or not.

Frequency

Avantages :

it's easy to fill out, short. So I am willing to fill out the survey

Inconvénients :

I received more than twice a day for review of one of my colleague, I think that's too frequent. I am also receiving review for a colleague who just joined couple weeks ago and it doesn't make sense to review someone in such a short period of time.

Self Assesment

Commentaires : Self assessment and communication within the team are the main benefits of Workstory for me.

Avantages :

I enjoy the self assessment function via Workstory.

Inconvénients :

Least likely is some of the questions regarding other coworkers that I am unsure of the answers to.

Convenient way for peer reviews

Commentaires : It's been nice so far, pretty easy to review coworkers. Just a few bugs with getting some for coworkers who were on maternity leave.

Avantages :

The integration with slack is great, pretty seamless since we live on slack as a company.

Inconvénients :

The questions can be a little in depth at some times, and sometimes I get a week where I'm hit with a lot and other weeks I get none at all.

Super easy to use in Slack

Commentaires : I like the tool, its very easy to use and invites to give feedback that you hadn't thought about, and its the kind of feedback that will improve the result as a whole, more than individually. I also enjoy receiving feedback, that I hadn't received because this would have probably would have been too awkward to have an in person conversation.

Avantages :

Writing straight forward feedback to my colleagues and also receiving it, its priceless. Questions asked make it very easy to think and give feedback on that specific area.

Inconvénients :

I still need more weeks to use it, but so far, i would only add a reminder notification, because it could go many days without me looking into it.

Extremely useful tool for managing

Commentaires : Overall, providing real time feedback to coworkers and team members has been extremely easy.

Avantages :

The ease of use and timely snippets of feedback that can be provided to team members in real time.

Inconvénients :

Nothing thus far has been observed while using WorkStory.

We are all a work in progress!

Avantages :

I like that the reviews are sent via Teams. The questions are quick and too the point. Therefore, do not take up much of my time.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes, I worry if the reviews are actually anonymous or if the reviews can be read by management and they can see who posted the review.

Work story review - Kerry

Commentaires : I'm not a fan of how often I have to do work story, or the fact that I have to invade my coworkers.

Avantages :

I appreciate how easy it is to use. And that I can use it with teams software.

Inconvénients :

Not found anything that I just like so far

Ease of Use - Constant feedback

Avantages :

Being able to give feedback throughout the year instead of only at the moment of yearly review. Keeps relevant and helpful.

Inconvénients :

Remembering to take the time to respond to slack reviews for peers.

Not Satisfied

Commentaires : I don't like and wouldn't be using it if I didn't have to. I think feedback best comes from your direct managers/supervisors.

Avantages :

It's easy to use. It's easy to understand the questions.

Inconvénients :

People will graded you low just because they have an issue with you and not because of what the questions are asking. The submit button doesn't always work.

Review of Work Story

Avantages :

The integration with team and ease to provide answers.

Inconvénients :

How some of the questions are worded and that for now they feel very standard and not necessarily accurate for what we do.

SEO manager review

Avantages :

Helps to get a real time look at the opinions of others and with an anonymous option, people are more likely to be transparent.

Inconvénients :

The questions could be more straight forward

I love workstory

Avantages :

I like how you can get performance updates from your team and can track

Inconvénients :

I recently just started using work story, so I don’t have anything bad to say about it at the moment.
