“Our goal is to be a great employer that treats our inmate employees the same as our non-inmate population by giving them a traditional employment experience from the interview to their release.”
“We have more than 100 employees in three different communities. It was getting to be a two-day process every two weeks to run our payroll.”
"What won us over with Ximble was the fact it was inexpensive, could export to Gusto and was user friendly. Our employees seem to like it too, telling us that it’s pretty easy to use!"
"We didn't formally have a way to broadcast updates to all our staff before. Now, weekly key initiatives can be pushed and check-ins measured quantitatively. Before 7Geese we weren't measuring and sharing our goals with metrics, but now we can."
"We are well aware the role that recognition plays in employee retention. Our employees need more than just a pat on the back, they need real tangible recognition of their extra effort. 7Geese helps us achieve this."
"It was loud and clear that anonymity was useless and detrimental to the Wikia team culture. Everyone wanted to ask questions or follow up, but they couldn’t, yearly performance reviews left them at a dead end. Anonymous feedback meant no one could seek clarity or have a conversation on how to improve."
"I’ve worked a few agencies before, very much a case of you’re a cog in the endless machine and you don’t ultimately know what you’re working towards, it’s day-in-day-out and you go home. That’s definitely gone from my point, and my team’s. Helps employees to get a grasp on a purpose and what we are aiming towards."
"What I like about 7Geese is how it has become an integral part of the culture now. We use it to document one-to-ones with employees, request feedback, and recognize achievement. Implementing OKRs has been a huge success for us and a large part of that success is down to the way that 7Geese works."
“It's baked into our culture. Now, when I need to give junior staffers quick feedback on what they did well and where to improve, I would do that in 7Geese rather than sending an email.”
“It helps us to understand the common goal of the company and how every single thing that people are doing is connected."
“One thing that we found was challenging was communicating the philosophy of OKRs over and over. It was difficult to get people to understand how to write a good key result, how to write a good objective, and how to think about goals in an autonomous workplace.”
“We understood at the beginning that we couldn’t handle this by Excel files and doing the alignment and everything. We had somehow to streamline the communication through some kind of platform. And we did our simple Google search for ‘best OKR management tools."
“What that means is everything we do with product innovation, especially in our own region in Africa, is to make life easier for the human race.”
“It really wasn’t seamless. Then we did some research and stumbled on OKRs. It was really exciting for us because we could immediately see the benefits, in terms of having everyone focused, all hands on deck, and all focused on achieving specific goals for the year. It was easy to quickly cascade the goals down in that format, using objectives and key results.”
“Our business has been experiencing several years of rapid growth and as we began to onboard new hires, the focus of sharing the company vision, and our objectives and goals became paramount to us.”
