Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • All our employees benefit from having access to their performance record, which allows ownership of their goals and objectives. Every Actus employee we have dealt with has been extremely helpful and patient with all requests we have made (and there have been many!). Since the implementation of Actus, performance management is considered more important within the organisation and employees now have clear records regarding their performance. Having the system in place has also helped embed a more regular 1-2-1 process.
  • The Performance Dashboard is really good. We have received great feedback from employees and managers. Actus has assisted our Quarterly Review processes hugely and it has enabled us to capture specific learning and behavioural needs and ensure accountability throughout each quarter. The toolkit helps managers to better manage large and demanding teams.

Cons

  • The only con would be that I (as admin) inherited the system and at first just couldn't get my head around it. This was quickly rectified by our brilliant Account Manager who organised training, webinars and phone calls so that I now feel I can really call myself 'Actus admin'.
  • A leavers report that includes all the leavers, leaving dates and the rest of the off boarding information would be really useful if it can be created. Currently we can export all the Inactive employees but we cannot see leave dates and the rest of the off boarding information on the excel sheet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • PerformanceHub was easy to set up with the help of our contact initially and now the admins can make any further changes required or ask for help. Users say the appraisal format is clear and concise with a detailed explanation of the company's core values. Objectives tabs are user friendly, they particularly like the feedback tool which the management team have used to gain essential feedback internally and externally on individuals' performance. Perfect for recording informal meetings and having the ability to look back and refresh your thoughts.
  • Performance Hub was extremely quick to get up and running for our employees. When we had a need to expand the capability from a performance management system to a performance and salary planning system, Performance Hub took on the task and delivered flawlessly!
  • Ease of use - the application is intuitive and easy to use, requiring minimal training for new users to become competent. Storing all performance related info in one place makes it a lot easier for managers to record, track and reward performance. The way in PerformanceHub presents objectives and key measures was also a positive as we were looking to move to an OKR approach, which this suited. Strategically, PerformanceHub allows us to present every employee with a view of how their objectives fit into the wider picture, allowing us to visually present the golden thread, allowing people to see how they contribute to the overall success of the business.

Cons

  • As with any new software we are currently learning what it can and can't do. Different users sometimes want slightly different things and we can't accommodate everyone. It would be useful if bigger objectives could be broken down into sub goals/tasks that feed into the overall
  • We had a complex security model requirement which made it challenging to set up and maintain.
  • Not necessarily things we did not like, but more observations about what would be useful to us: 1. A separate 'performance improvement plan' option, where a specific short term action plan can be created to address particular performance issues for an individual that sits outside of the normal process. This can be achieved within the tool, but we have suggested a potential separate feature to Cogendo who are now looking into it. 2. Documents/images/links - ability to upload images to appraisals, or links to documents would be a useful feature to have. Links can be added, but they are inactive. We understand that this is due to security.
