Workday Peakon Employee Voice Alternatives

My overall experience with Microsoft Viva has been great. Having insights, learning tools, and company news integrated directly into teams makes it incredibly easy to stay organized and connected during the workday without jumping between different apps.

Our HR team relies heavily on Qualtrics XM for employee engagement and feedback gathering, but as an AI Engineer working on backend systems, it's annoying to work with. The built-in tools don't let you adjust how it groups employee feedback. Because of that, I usually just try to pull the raw text via the API to handle it ourselves. Unfortunately, the data comes out messy. I spend more time writing scripts to clean up their formatting than I actually do working with the text. Still, the dashboard is straightforward enough for the HR team to read high-level summaries without needing my help, so it serves its basic purpose for them.

Culture Amp was a helpful tool for us to both increase company engagement when it came to participation on company feedback, but also collecting anecdotal, impromptu feedback about reports with respect to company values. Culture Amp helped the cold start problem with their recommendation generator so that we we didn't have to build surveys, onboarding templates, or any of our other employee resource docs from scratch. It also helped to condense and summarize the qualitative survey answers we had during company feedback sessions, especially when words could be interpreted in either direction. For example, the sentiment around "it was ok" could be a good or bad signal depending on the context behind it. And it's difficult to gauge from a macro perspective if this is a general sentiment/trend which would have a negative implication, or just a specific person who didn't have much feedback to give.

Betterworks does a terrific job in supporting performance review conversations. These are more difficult conversations to have, and the support of a resource that offers feedback interpretation and an unbiased analysis of the conversation being had makes these important conversations easier to approach. When I began at my company, I had never had a performance review conversation, and I was incredibly nervous coming in. But the use of Betterworks in facilitating this conversation allowed me to approach it with more intention, honesty, and without the confusion.

Overall, Lattice has made our performance management process more structured and efficient, The AI capabilities are a valuable addition that reduces the time spent preparing reviews while encouraging more consistent and constructive feedback across teams. The platform has helped streamline our review cycles by bringing goals, one-on-one meetings, continuous feedback, and performance evaluations into a single system.

Perceptyx has been solid pulling together feedback from more than one channel. Benchmarking data against similar companies is a plus, as it helps to determine if a score is a concern or not.

An effective solution that stands out from the competition with a clear and intuitive approach highlighting the important points.

From the thousands of feedback we receive every month, it's painful to let them scatter and consolidate it into one single page. Thematic helps us to centralize customer feedback, so we can focus to solve problems that the market needs.
