Energage vs. Firstup

Energage has perfected the employee survey. We have not used it for anything else, so this is difficult to say.

Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness!

• Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications.
• Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps.
• Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually.

• The only area of improvement may be streamlining the emails they send out after the surveys have been tabulated and the information is available. We usually just want the report and because Energage does such a good job compiling it via the dashboard and the graphics, our company doesn't have a need for further tools and promotion tips. It can get confusing when there's too many options to share and/or best practices to follow.

• We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates.
• It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.

We've yet to look into any options other Energage because we've felt Energage has completely covered our needs over the years.

I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.

• It's helped with recruiting. Candidates see the Top Workplaces icon on our website or they read the article and they trust that we really are a Top Workplace based on the information Energage helped compile.
• The impact internally is immense. Our leadership pulls direct data and comments from Energage's surveys and uses it to inform their decisions and goals. The leadership also cites what our employees told us to explain why we're doing certain things as a company. There's always alignment shared when possible so employees know their feedback matters.

• We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing!
• We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media!
• Marketing has been able to control the voice of the brand while amplifying the message to new audiences - amazing!
