StaffCircle Reviews

I used StaffCircle in my previous role and the company used the solution to communicate with our non-desk employees, to record and track holidays, run reports on compliancy (for example risk assessments, work permits etc.) and also for our performance management.

It has been great because we didn’t have to change our current annual appraisals, instead, we were able to align One2One reviews/check-ins with it. This means a more continuous approach to performance management which helps us see what is going well and what we need to improve.

Nothing to note. I know from working with the champion there was the initial set up for your risk assessments, but once that’s done compliancy and trackability are very easy.

I like the appearance of the system and that it is similar to a social media profile with a news feed and notifications. I really like how easy it is to keep up with internal communications from around the business and that you get a notification email for new content.

The performance review section could be easier to use from an employee point of view - its not always clear where you need to respond/save comments.

IT HELPS ALL EMPLOYEES TO VIEW AND COMMUNICATE WITH ALL BRANCHES OF THE COMPANY IN A SAFE AND VIEWED INVIROMENT.

CANT FAULT IT MUCH AT THIS POINT, EXCITED TO USE MORE AND GET MORE FAMILIER WITH THE PROGRAM.

Not being able to automate things without using a 3rd party software which costs a lot of money is an issue.

As an end user StaffCircle is easy to navigate and make use of.
I mainly make use of the HR Resources, Staff Directory and Internal Communications aspect of StaffCircle and have found all of them user friendly and useful.
Specifically the Internal Communications feature, although similar results could be achieved with email threads or team channels, StaffCircle presents the information in one easy to find location and allows for greater recognition. A congratulations message about someone's promotion will quickly get lost in a company email but in StaffCircle it is not only set apart from the normal day to day workings of the company but provides a nicer way to recognise talent throughout our company.

As an end user I don't really see any negatives to StaffCircle, I have not had much experience with similar products on the market so also can't make much of a comparison.

I like that StaffCircle feels very user friendly. Viewing company news is very similar to using some forms of social media making it engaging and easy to use.

It's also really helpful that you can see if your holiday requests overlap with another team member. I like that you can connect channels such as our payslip portal which makes it really easy to find important information in one place.

It would be good if it was possible to see the holiday of all staff at the same time. As I work with lots of teams across the company it would be good to use StaffCircle to see who is on leave quickly before setting up meetings.

The ease of use and how it is very visual. It is very self-explanatory and i can do multiple things on one platform, such as booking holiday, viewing internal communications and looking at my performance.

I think at first, the notifications were the least favorable as i was receiving multiple per day. However, the employee team worked with staff circle to solve this issue and now we only receive the notifications needed.

Due to some staff working from home and some staff working in the office I feel that StaffCircle brings us all together with the internal news feeds and communications. It seems like a 'one stop shop' in the sense that you can catch up on internal news, book your holiday, look at your objectives, all in the once place.

When you first start using StaffCircle it can be a little confusing and not user friendly in the first instance until you have had the training and have used it for a while

Easy to post content and notify the relevant people.

There is no application for iPhone (that I can see).

Some of the best benefits of staff circle include its ease of use, its user friendly dashboards and features, and the great ability to communicate in a useful way across multiple departments.

Its hard to pick any real cons of the service as it delivers everything we require from it as a service.

It has a great way to summarise all the info you need into one place.

It could do with a little less complicated menu but the dashboard is great for solving this.

Keeps staff updated daily, metrics, performance and targets

No mobile app, which makes it difficult for some people to access

StaffCircle is a great communication tool for distributing news letters and information within the business. The ability to book holiday and create reviews works well.

Can be a bit clunky when inputting overtime. Must be willing to spend time learning how the system works.

Very easy to use and track progress on individuals in your team

Can't scroll through employees without going into individuals rather than teams

Staff circle is easy to use and accessible by everyone in the business. It allows for internal interaction, performance reviews and internal communications. With the internal communications, I like the features of being able to interact with posts made.
I also like that it can be accessed from my mobile device, so i dont have to go onto my work laptop to access all info i require.

Some features such as booking holiday/ amending holiday can be harder to work with.

I like how interactive Staff Circle is, it is like a social media platform but for work!
Makes me feel connected to colleagues.

I feel like a I have a voice.

A lot of sections and tabs, can feel slightly overwhelming.

The communication from the team during setup and implementation has been brilliant. The platform itself allows to take internal comms and HR admin to the next level without being too complex to use.

The ability to embed own videos into communication posts.

The engagement and availability of personal updates and requests.

The attachments and links can be a little more clearer on the sight via a new notification

I like the ease of being able to keep all staff informed in one place, the issue is trying to keep people engaged.

The features seem a little bit clunky and I am unsure on how all the features are used. It would be good if there were a training platform.

I love that it is a central place for all of yours and your team members' goals and objectives.

The news feed is great for keeping up to date on things going on in the organisation.

There's not much to say here, I can't think of anything that I don't like

the ease of monitoring performance with staff and checking against objective settings

complicated at first,, takes a while to understand

All information in one place instead of all different systems

Not easy to change holidays on the system especially one migrated over
