Betterworks vs. FlowyTeam

[BetterWorks is a] good fit for a 250+ employees company that implements firm wide KPIs/OKRs system to measure employee performance and track corporate goals and progress, promote transparency and accountability.

The platform is well suited for SMEs like me when we do not have permanent HR roles. With the platform, we can monitor

• Their attendance
• The employee's job rank
• The employee's job status
• Company, team, and individual objectives
• There is no need for micromanagement; results are delivered based on trust, and the platform allowed us (the employer) to get rid of non-performance subtly
• We use FlowyTeam platform in our performance review, thus it's so convenient to point it out to the individual because they already know whether they are performing or not.

We've been using it for going on four quarters now and it's become part of how our team plans our work for the quarter, holds ourselves accountable, and decides who is doing what work and why. Without it we'd certainly have to replace it with something else - plus it's so nice to see the other departments and top company goals so easily.

Overall the platform is clean and easy to use. It's quick to learn and not unnecessarily complex. While a few specific filtering features can be wonky it's nice that it's simple and clean. There are a lot of icons where words may be more appropriate in the navigation but otherwise the platform is easy to use and quick to hop into and check in.

BetterWorks is great at implementing the Objectives and Key Results framework, and it also provides a framework for employee feedback and performance reviews. However, BetterWorks' capabilities to follow up on specific tasks or activities are limited, and you would need to complement these features with another app or platform. Nevertheless, I think in many ways is best to keep these kinds of functionalities isolated.

Trello is very good for kanban...but I like the diversity of FlowyTeam. Can be linked to Kanban and makes the software an effective action plan tool. Project management is also a plus

• A tool like this was highly viewed by the new hires as it shows the company's commitment to track everyone's contribution to corporates goals
• Provides transparency into what each team does
• The implementation was a big effort

Incentivized

• Quality of delivery is very positive
• Team effort to ensure everyone is meeting the company's objectives and goals
• Being able to cut loses (non-performance) fast and legally
