Pros from reviewers

• Ease of use and support: The WorkDove team is always ready to answer questions or make adjustments, making the transition to the new system smooth. The software is intuitive and easy for all staff to use, and the chat help feature provides immediate assistance when needed.

• Check-in feature: WorkDove's check-in feature enables both employees and managers to track thoughts during the review cycle, facilitating two-way conversations and ongoing feedback. This feature is particularly appreciated for its simplicity and efficiency.

• Scalability and adaptability: The software is adaptable to an organization's needs and can scale as the company grows. It provides immediate insight into talent and identifies who may need help, modernizing the approach to performance management.

• Alignment with company goals: WorkDove's Performance Culture System (PCS) aligns individual performance objectives with company goals, fostering a coaching culture through weekly meetings and quarterly performance reviews. This alignment has been credited with a significant increase in annual revenue.

• Affordability and customization: WorkDove is a cost-effective solution that still provides all the necessary employee and administrator content. It also offers customization features, including the ability to incorporate own training videos and documents into the library, and to use preselected core values or create own ones.

Cons from reviewers

• Limited goal scoring: One user mentioned that the software does not include Goals in the overall scoring. It includes Performance Objectives and Competencies, but not goal performance, which is a key measure for their company

• Daunting plethora of options: While the customization options were appreciated by many users, one user found the plethora of options to be daunting. This could be a problem for users who do not have the time to familiarize themselves with all the training modules

• Limited reporting capabilities: One user wished for more reporting capabilities. While the vendor assured them that they are working on adding these, the current lack of such features could be a drawback for some users.

• Confusing online training: Some users found the online training to be confusing for new users due to its broad scope. This could be a barrier for those who are not tech-savvy or who are new to performance management software

• Lack of detailed instructions: Another user suggested that the system could benefit from more detailed instructions for each module. This would make it easier for managers to distribute instructions for completing feedback, setting up goals, and filling out performance reviews
