The Challenge: Antiquated Processes Holding Back Employee Growth

Prior to using Engagedly, Actifio faced significant challenges in managing employee performance. The company relied on outdated systems that involved manual paperwork and lacked the tools to engage employees effectively.

This led to poor adoption of self-evaluations and a misalignment of individual goals with organizational objectives. Additionally, annual reviews were based on old data, creating a disconnect between employee performance and business needs.

Actifio needed a system that was easy to use, aligned with their goals, and focused on continuous improvement.

Key Challenges

Poor adoption: Low submission rates for self-evaluations.

Antiquated systems: Manual, labor-intensive performance review processes.

Outdated data: Annual performance reviews that used old data.

Solution: A Digital Transformation with Engagedly

In early 2024, Actifio implemented Engagedly’s platform to modernize its HR processes. The goal was simple: improve engagement, streamline performance reviews, and create a system where employees could thrive.

Rewards Program
Actifio introduced Engagedly’s rewards program to encourage participation in self-evaluations and feedback. Employees accrued points for completing evaluations, which could be redeemed for rewards like gift cards. This immediately increased engagement rates and provided valuable insights for HR.

Digital Performance Management
By transitioning to Engagedly’s fully digital platform, Actifio eliminated the need for labor-intensive paperwork. The new system automated performance management, enabling employees to access and update their goals, track progress, and receive timely feedback from their managers.

Quarterly Performance Reviews
Engagedly allowed Actifio to shift from annual reviews to quarterly check-ins. This change ensured that performance data remained current, and employees received continuous feedback, which helped align individual efforts with Actifio’s larger business objectives.

The Results: Unprecedented Engagement and Continuous Improvement

Since implementing Engagedly, Actifio has seen remarkable improvements in employee engagement and performance management:

Unprecedented Employee Engagement: The introduction of the rewards program led to a 90%+ software adoption rate. Because of Engagedly’s approachability, Actifio’s HR director, Logan Thompson, believes the adoption rate will “only go up from there.”

Efficient Performance Reviews: Actifio’s HR team now saves countless hours previously spent on manual, handwritten reports. The new digital system made performance reviews more time-efficient and transparent.

Continuous Performance Management: The shift to quarterly reviews empowered Actifio employees to continuously improve and stay aligned with company goals.

Actifio’s employees are more engaged than ever and now feel like they are truly part of the company’s success.
