Advanced Clear Review Reviews

Excellent solution for a continuous performance management application which was easily implemented.

Pros:

Basic but complete functionality which is easy to understand and operate. Straight forward admin capabilities. Fits a culture of existing one-on-one meetings or helps you migrate in that direction. Able to integrate organizational strategic initiatives and core values. Affordable.

Cons:

UK company which uses unique spelling and date formatting for American users. Has some preset functional limits but they are open to hearing about requested modifications.

Revolutionised the way in which performance discussions are held in my organisation.

Comments: Massive time savings in terms of keeping direct report's folders with appraisal files & evidence all of which is replaced by this fantastic software. Employee engagement in performance conversations increased dramatically, hence overall productivity.

Pros:

Ability to provide in the moment feedback with ease knowing it's logged immediately with no extra paperwork required. Ease of system, access & layout encourages use & is very user friendly. Promotes development conversations from employee view with a focus on on-going development rather than based on high level objectives which can lead to employees losing focus. Easy to link goals to objectives & employee engagement rockets as they see how their small part contributes overall. Ability to set clear , concise actions tailored to the individual which they can easily track & update on their progress. Quarterly check-ins provides the ability to 'check-in' and re-prioritise where required. Team view allows people managers to identify direct reports they potentially need to spend more time with & allows a vision of feedback received for the team.

Cons:

Would be nice to have ability to provide feedback to various people at once rather than individually each time - for example collective team feedback following an event.

Easy to Use System

Pros:

We received very little training on this software as our company rolled it out, but it's very user friendly and we had few issues in set up and roll out.

Cons:

Not too many cons at the moment. I hoping we learn more about integrating the system with Outlook.

Ditch the Paper Process of Performance Management

Comments: I've been an HR professional for 20+ years and performance management systems/forms/etc. have always been painful. They don't work. Clear Review replaces it and really gives the client the opportunity to align the system and features to their business. I have two main reasons why I recommend Clear Review to other HR and Business professionals: 1.) Ease of implementation. 2.)Ease of engagement with staff. Skip the bells and whistles of complicated systems.

Pros:

Super easy to use. Required very little training for our employees to be up and running with using it to having meaningful check-ins with their manager. Easy to schedule check-ins, write/retain notes and action items and to provide feedback. As an Administrator, absolutely love that we can rename data fields to align with the language used at our organization. For example, the system configuration calls performance reviews "Talent Reviews" but if your company prefers Performance Reviews, the field can be edited by the Administrator. Awesome.

Cons:

We would like to allow for document uploads into an employee's profile. This company is extremely attentive to the needs of their clients, without compromising the Mission of the company which is to make performance management meaningful and easy.

Very user friendly system and cost effective

Comments: Performance Management on a continuous basis and a record of check in conversations taking place

Pros:

the ease of implementation and the look / feel of the system is excellent. The systems staff are very helpful in supporting our queries and are always asking for feedback to develop the system further.

Cons:

As an administrator of the system, I do not appear to have access to view what managers see on their team / department page so I need to ask a manager to show me what they are referring to on their login.

Very supportive and complimentary piece of software to help manage performance better.

Pros:

Ease of use, saves time, paperwork, one place for all interactions with your people. Helps drives a feedback culture, and one where by staff take ownership and accountability for their own performance - this leads to more quality conversations throughout the year.

Cons:

At this stage my only con/request is with the feedback section of the software, I would like to provide feedback to groups/teams along with individual level. It is though a vast improvement on what I previously used.

Clear Review is extremely powerful & simple; incredibly fosters our employees'performance

Comments: Increase performance of every employees and overall company

Pros:

Taking time for check-ins and feedback is demanding; however after a few months of use our employees and managers already see the power of all these conversations and communication, most of the time positive and future orientated. A very simple tool which really increases the overall performance of a company.

Cons:

If you want figures and competency or performance gaps measurement, then Clear Review is not for you. The software is based on / develops the culture of each employee driving his/her own career and development, with the help and support of the others.

The team at Clear Review are so helpful and responsible no matter how big/small my query is.

Comments: Performance Management is a daily process because the software is easily accessible to the workforce. It has become integrated within the business

Pros:

It is very user friendly, quick and simple to use. I work with Administrators access and adding new employees, changing employees details, line management etc is a simple one click process without having to go through several drop down menus or pages. Employees are able to access, manage, update and change objectives quickly without any fuss or permission from managers. Empowering them to take ownership of there own personal development.

Cons:

When arranging a check in meeting it does not link with outlook calendars. However this is feature will be added in November 2017.

Promotes great performance conversations focused on the things that matter.

Pros:

Simple for managers to use, focused on the structure of regular performance conversations rather than completing mountains of forms. Becoming more customisable for businesses of all sizes with new features being added in response to customer feedback.

Cons:

It is tempting to add features that turn a simple to use software product into a performance management 'system'. Important to retain the underlying purpose of the software i.e. focusing on the conversation.

the transition from paper based annual review to monthly meetings and goal setting has been seamless

Pros:

inuitive to navigate and easy to use. enables me to have clear sight of how many people are using it and engaged with it on a dashboard. the feedback feature enables praise to be given in the moment and recorded. It works in real time and reflects the flow of the organisation. the people and support at clear Review are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble.

Cons:

I wish it could be customised for the unique querks of our business a little more easily. the viewpoint function in particular

Fresh and engaging.

Pros:

All the features work really well and improvements are being made all the time. The feedback feature is greatly used within our business. Its nice also that you can use this feature outside of your own manager/employee relationship. The most recent additions to the system, such as 'Manager Viewpoints' is an extremely valuable tool that we have used to help us identify talent and development needs. The 'help with this' and short videos are extremely useful too!

Cons:

Enhancements are continually being made and the fact that we can also make suggested enhancements means there is not much we can criticise!

Intuitive, simple system and excellent customer support. Highly recommended!

Comments: It has transformed our approach and perception of performance management, making it a much more positive experience for both manager and employee.

Pros:

Simple, intuitive, configurable. The customer support and end user experience has been extremely positive. It has transformed our approach and perception of performance management.

Clear Review

Pros:

The 2 things I love most is the User Interface and the ability to get granular. It's so simple and straight forward to use.

Cons:

So far I do not have any negative reviews. This is an awesome tool.

Really great easy to use product

Pros:

It is what it says it is. Very easy to navigate and support continuous performance management process.

Cons:

Not linking check-in's to the calendar was an issue but is now resolved. Being able to track closed actions more easily as a manager would be helpful however again this is being worked on.

Refreshing installing this new future-proofed system which is as it states Clear to Review

Comments: it is new to us at present and we are learning still how best to embed it's use with our end-users and communicate the new philosophy - getting people to sing from the same hymn sheet so to speak

Pros:

I like the simplicity of use and the fact that people can navigate it easily meaning that they do not make multiple calls to be walked through the system.

Really useful tool for supporting development and objective discussions

Comments: Much easier to use than prior product, both for employees/managers and administration

Pros:

Good feedback mechanism allowing immediate feedback from anyone to anyone Ability to amend objectives easily throughout the year and add new actions/priorities Easy administration for management changes Customer support is effective and helpful, with user guides and FAQs as well as technical support

Cons:

Some employees have struggled to adopt the ongoing discussion philosophy and stop using it as a tick-box exercise

The name says it all -- clear

Pros:

Clear Review lives up to its name: Clear. It's extremely easy to use. The tools, functionality and navigation are all basic but basic, in this case, is good. You don't need anything fancy. It simply gets the job done.

Cons:

Nothing negative to say about this software.

Easy, simple and clear.

Pros:

Very easy to use on both an admin and user level. Everything is very simple but effective. Navigation is great.

Looks like an excellent platform to enable staff to continually keep up to speed with objectives

Pros:

Website is very ease to use and easy to understand, likewise managers can easily update users objectives etc as well

Cons:

Well from a users perspective, nothing, anything to save filling out paperwork year in year out with similar information!!!
