HR tool that makes onboarding and goal setting much simpler than I've experienced before!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: My overall experience has been very positive. Sympa has been a really important aspect of our company and the management of HR internally and getting that information out to employees. At my last company we didn't have anything like it, so it's been a huge help.

Pros:

I like that the portal is completely customized for our organization. When I log in, I have access to tons of resources, a company directory (we're global so it's really helpful), and my business goals, PDP, sales quotas, etc.

Cons:

The user interface could be a bit cleaner, but overall it's really great!

Comments: Great experience, super to use and implemented software. Next to that we are in charge of changing the system. No super high consulting costs. What you see is what you get, and it works great!

Pros:

Adaptability, Look & Feel, Implementation

Cons:

Because of the enormous options, it took a while for me to have the right scope for implementation

Sympa helped us change the way of working

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: The easy access to the system and information has helped everyone in the organization a lot.

Pros:

With Sympa the time consumption of making reports and administrative tasks were reduced by at least 70 %. The managers love the easy access to all information about their employees that they needed to ask HR about before. It looks good and is easy to access. Sympa was a great help in setting up the system in the best way for our organisations needs. I fell that Sympa listens to the customers needs and is trying to develope the system frequently.

Cons:

I still miss a good feature to work with appraisals. It fells a little bit edgy still and we have to invent and priorize a little to much to make the form/feature good.

Don't hesitate to reach out to our support or your dedicated Customer Success Manager, if you have any further questions! Thanks for being with us and enjoy your smoother HR ride!
