Talstack's 360 Feedback module lets employees and managers give spontaneous feedback at any time. It is saved to each person's profile and feeds directly into formal review cycles.
This is the continuous feedback experience Small Improvements is known for, embedded within a broader performance management system that also handles goals, learning, competency tracking, and analytics.
Where Talstack goes further is configurability. You control which feedback directions are enabled, the frequency, and the level of anonymity. Companies still building feedback culture can start simple and add layers over time.
Cascade goals from company to individual. Connect them to feedback and review outcomes. Small Improvements has basic goal tracking. Talstack makes goals the engine that drives everything else.
Talstack's Goals module supports OKR, KPI and Balanced Scorecard frameworks with customisable naming. Goal progress is visible in real time to HR and managers without manual collation.
When a review or feedback session highlights a gap, that gap can be linked directly to a goal update or a learning assignment. Small Improvements does not offer this level of integration between feedback, goals, and development actions.
Small Improvements identifies gaps. Talstack closes them. 300+ expert-led courses, custom content upload, and learning paths built directly into the performance platform.
Small Improvements has no native LMS. A feedback session that surfaces a skill gap has nowhere to go on the platform. You need a second system, a second budget line, and a manual handoff between platforms.
On Talstack, when feedback or a review flags a development need, that need becomes a course assignment in the same workflow. With Talstack, companies are able to build employee training programs combining their own proprietary content and Talstack's content library.
From fintech to hospitals to logistics, high-growth companies building performance cultures.
"You want to be able to put the review on the platform and once the manager is recommending particular skills for this person, immediately loop it into the learning platform. That loop is what we needed, and Talstack provides it natively."
