Workhuman At A Glance

Good: At-a-glance employee dashboard for tracking feedback and check-ins, ability to set and update short-term goals, strong focus on employee recognition.
Bad: Reward points can be confusing during the redemption process, gift card rewards don't cover some essential items.
Bottom Line: Solution that empowers companies to provide praise and recognition to their employees, increasing engagement and morale.

Product Overview

The Workhuman Cloud is a talent management platform that helps companies improve their employee recognition and engagement. It has five modules, which are:

  • Conversations (continuous performance management software)
  • Social Recognition (employee recognition software)
  • Service Milestones (employees’ work anniversaries and career milestones software)
  • Life Events (employees’ personal milestones software)
  • Community Celebrations (team or companywide event management software)

Our review will focus on the Conversations and Social Recognition modules.

Conversations allows employees to set goals and seek feedback from their manager and peers. Social Recognition empowers companies to provide positive feedback and rewards for employees in appreciation for their hard work.

We delve into each module in our Features section below.

Features

Conversations – Each employee has their own dashboard where they track their goals, check-ins and feedback at a glance. Workhuman uses a continuous performance management strategy so employees can receive regular feedback instead of having to wait until the annual review. With the Priorities feature, employees can set short-term goals that can be updated anytime.

An employee’s peer can provide feedback upon request, and the employee has the option to respond directly to it. Employees can also use Workhuman to track check-in meetings with their manager, including agendas and action items.

Social recognition – Workhuman empowers employees to provide kudos and recognition to their colleagues. The software promotes a collaborative approach to recognition rather than having accomplishments shared only by managers. Workhuman automatically tracks each employee’s work circle, which is based off of an employee’s organizational relationships and/or past recognition.

The Recognition Advisor feature guides administrators in setting point values for specific attributes (also known as “gratitude moments”). Employees can receive points that can be redeemed for gift cards or other rewards at the Workhuman store.

Other features include the Moodtracker pulse engagement survey tool and real-time reporting and analytics for tracking performance and productivity.
