Leapsome - Avis

The platform makes it possible for us to run 360 peer reviews as we want to, and encourages our employees to give each other ongoing feedback. It’s made our HR processes not only more efficient but also more transparent. The tool was surprisingly simple to roll out, and there was a really positive response from the managers and employees – so now we’re looking at using the rest of Leapsome’s features, like 1-on-1 meetings and engagement surveys. We were also very impressed by the Leapsome customer team, who visibly incorporated our feedback into the platform before we had even decided to use it! They were the only tool that we could see were seriously passionate about acting on feedback themselves, and their answers to our support requests have been consistently prompt and helpful.

We have had some minor, short-term issues, such as where to find a particular setting in the app and we have a few requests for new features, however, every time we see anything like this, the Leapsome product team is always quick to respond and improve the platform based on our suggestions.

1. It is good as an employee database, you can store a lot of data about your employees

2. Leapsome works well together, all of the different modules operate together. for example, instant feedback can be referred to in a 121 manager review. Competencies reviewed on a manager review can also be reviewed in instant feedback.

3. Once you have the goals set up, they work quite well numerically - parent goals can have a number of child goals below them, and the average percentage completion of the child goals makes up the parent goals. This works well if your goals are strictly numerical

4. The review system works well, once it is set up. You can automate it so that review cycles go out with managers reviewing their subordinates on their competencies, and employees reviewing each other etc.. This all works quite well together, and in a review you can see past instant feedback (which is the way to give feedback outside of a review cycle)

5. The customer service is very nice and helpful, and have helped me work through complex problems on numerous occasions

In fact, the instant feedback feature is probably the most useful feature for us, despite it being the simplest.

1. The 'learning' module leaves a lot to be desired. The due dates work weirdly, which is hard to explain if you have never used it but it's basically a non-feature - the due dates do not really work.
The UI/UX of completing a learning 'path' (as they call it) is quite poor. It is very basic and the only real customisability you have is a rich text editor. That's it. There is no option to add a preview image for an article for example.
The quizzes are very basic in the options you have - they must be multiple choice, and the answers must be text. All you can change is the amount of correct and incorrect answers.
The 'tasks' are just a check-box. That's it.

2. Goals
I wanted to set 8 different numerical goals for each employee at my company, which update weekly with their progress. We have the numerical data. But, the only way on Leapsome to update a goal is to do so manually - there is no API. So, I am forced to manually update all the goals every week (in the hundreds). This is a waste of my time but necessary

Die Bewertung von Mitarbeitern und sich selber, die Darstellung ist einfach und macht z.B. Entwicklungen deutlich.

Hin und wieder ist das Tool nicht ganz übersichtlich

Leapsome lets us centralize performance management and development, which boosts employee engagement and ensures openness in procedures and audits. We can create and run surveys to help management and staff make the best decisions. It's excellent that we developed ways to exchange remarks between tiers while maintaining privacy. Leapsome enables us to specify who gives feedback, which makes all functional relationships clear to all. We can also organize performance review sessions with line managers to discuss interim plans and goals and formalize observations.

There are not many negatives to report, but it seems that Leapsome integrates with a limited number of programs, which is a hindrance to using it for more functions.

The software aims to integrate everything related with performance, engagement and career management.They try to accomodate all possible use cases, which in most of our scenarios we were able to migrate our manual processes to Leapsome.Overall well thought, with a good % of customization - goals feature is brilliantly designed.

UI UX could be better.Career paths management/setup could be better designed/have better features. Some limitations to some customization extent but they're welcome to feedback.No way to integrate employee important career data to have a centralized information to managers (for .eg. I can setup attributes to employees but managers cant see them).

A heck of a value for your hard-earned dollars.

The performance reviews system is second to none in this galaxy, and probably beyond it too.

The OKR features are well balanced, in a sweet spot between "too basic" and "too complicated". The platform also covers the so-much-need CFRs (conversations, feedback and recognition) mechanisms without which the OKRs would be useless.

I promise you that I spent more time thinking about this than about the good things. The pros are clear and evident, but I couldn't find cons, I swear. This says a lot.

Leapsome is easy to use and sophisticated with its capabilities. You can set up review cycles super quickly using their best-practice templates, and because it’s always clear to the review participants who is submitting answers and when, employees feel a lot more involved than they did under our previous system (which was one-sided and didn’t encourage reviewees to give much input). Now that employees have to do a self-assessment before receiving a review talk, our participation rate has shot up to 100%.
The review answers themselves can be framed numerically or as text, which is great because it means we get a deeper understanding of both individual reviews and each review cycle as a whole. Unlike with our old system, Leapsome gives us a way to view the data in lots of different ways with their analytics features.

To be honest, we didn’t encounter the cons we’d anticipated! Some felt reluctant to change our old HR system, which had been in place since around 2000, and as part of the HR team, I wondered if Leapsome would just overcomplicate a manual system I was familiar with. To our relief, it wasn’t difficult to use Leapsome at all! Our existing employees are very happy with the platform and all our new hires start using it with ease.

What I like the most is that Leapsome is very is to use. Whether for the Admins or the Employees.

1- It's too tricky to create assessment forms in the learning paths - You should find an easier way.
2- All Learners should receive a notification when a learning path is updated
