Jostle Reviews

Simple to use and easy to navigate. Provides many avenues to have resources, interaction with discussion threads, and post events.

None I can note at this time. Works perfectly.

Allows for central communication. To be readily informed of the status of the workforce.

- Facilitates communication amongst staff

- Great way to keep everyone informed of events

- Several relevant features that can be tailored to the organization's specific needs

- Platform is easy to navigate, and nice for employees to access several things in one place

- Great customer support

- Introducing Jostle can take time with a bigger organization, but so far those who are using it report a positive experience

- Eliminating the need for "all staff" emails; employees were reporting that their inboxes were "too busy," and now this isn't the case

- Better understanding of the organizational structure among staff - this is helpful when onboarding

Our team enjoys sharing their experiences, building connections, and feeling acknowledged. We are committed to improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) within our organization. Jostle, a platform that fosters a sense of community and belonging, is helping us achieve this goal by bringing together cross-functional teams. We are grateful for this valuable resource and the positive impact it has made on our team.

Our company has been using Jostle as a platform for a while now, but we have noticed that our retail teams are not using it as much as we would like them to. In fact, only 20% of our retail staff are currently using the platform. We have been trying to provide them with resources to help them connect with the platform, but unfortunately, it has not been very effective so far. One of the main issues is that they do not have a work email address, and they are hesitant to use their personal email for work-related matters.

Also, it would be great if editors could add news stories from their mobile devices.

Our aim is to provide a solution that enables all team members to be visible to each other, allowing them to connect and learn more about each other. This initiative is geared towards promoting our core value of "Putting People First." We believe that fostering a sense of belonging among our team members is paramount.

The onboarding with the Jostle staff was smooth and easy. We launched in January and are seeing 90% engagement from staff. The implementation was easy. We've added lots of reference documents to our library and engage them with agency-wide news on our News page. Staff enjoy the people view as a way to get to know each other. The Teams view is invaluable for onboarding new staff. I'm so glad we chose this platform for our intranet. The Jostle team is open to suggestions for new features and is always improving.

There is not a way currently to export the org charts from Teams except as a Visio file. We've requested a solution for this.

Jostle has reduced our need for all staff emails regarding activities, events, announcements. We are finding new ways to use it every day.

Jostle is easy to use, helps organize office documents, great communication platforms, and also employee engagement!!

No improvements recommended. We love jostle!!

It helping keep communication in one place and office documents to help employee reference back to for questions.

The employees have been excited to use this app, posting regularly. A lot of timely information getting out to employees that wasn't necissarly happening. Most of the options we chose are working well.

I don't like that we can't add birthday and anniversary for the employees that don't participate in Jostle. Some of our employees don't have smart phones or work computers. It would be nice to see their milestones so employees participating can wish them well.

Timely employee communication, particularly for staff without work email.

Jostle has been very helpful by making it easier to share information across departments different and disconnected departments, some of whom do not regularly use a computer. Their pricing is very straightforward and fair for the industry.

This is not a slight on Jostle, but if you are looking for very granular customization, this is not the product for you. The benefit is its simplicity. It's that much more likely that HR, Marketing, or whichever department needs to handle 95% of the day-to-day management.

We are using Jostle as a news and information repository for all employees to access from a wide variety of devices.

The shout out section is a ton of fun, engages the team, and provides real-time insight into what team members in other parts of the company are dealing with or wins they have had.

I wish there was more customization available in the News Articles as far as formatting, fonts, and colours. The search function could also use some improvement...it is quite slow and doesn't sort things by when they were posted, you have to change that after the search is complete. It's not the default.

Jostle has helped connect our remote workers (even before COVID) with our teams in the office, as well as allow Team members who are working at different locations connect with each other. We are minimizing emails that go out to the team by posting events and important info on Jostle.

Jostle was so easy to set up, we had it up and running in two weeks! Jostle has all the functions we needed as a business. We now have the perfect platform to share all the latest company news. A place where we have all our important information stored in one central location, and most important to us, Jostle has provided a platform to bring us all back together whist we navigate the new world of hybrid working.

Not only have we been blown away by Jostle's support with setting up the platform, I can't begin to describe how good this company is with aftercare. Constant platform updates based off customer feedback as well as their own vision. Support is very quick to respond to a very rare issue with the system, also with general questions about the platform.

You truly get the feeling every person working at Jostle loves the platform as much as we do!

Nothing at all, the platform works really well. The only thing I would change as an admin would be to have end dates on user accounts. So that when someone leaves the company their account disables automatically. This is a change I have submitted to Jostle and is being looked into.

Due to covid we became disconnected from one another, and since hybrid working became our new normal we lost our identity. Jostle has given us that connection back. We are able to enage with our people to share company updates. We have a platform to now celebrate our people and our work. Individuals birthdays and work anniversary shoutouts have been a welcome change.

We also had a very old system with all out policies and proceedures which was very much out of date, clunky and difficult to use. This has now been replaced with Jostle. The deep dive search funtion has made it much easier and quicker to find the document you need. We have also expanded this to now inculde IT helpguides.

The one central location for all of our websites has been extreemly usefull.

The news features, calendar and shoutouts greatly increased our cross-departmental communication and the library makes it to share important documents in one place while bypassing Google Drive, One Drive, etc.

Jostle makes it incredibly easy to find employees and colleagues within their site, but it would be great if there was a way to manage and categorize people that that matches their category.

Jostle is increasing internal staff communcation while bypassing emails and other forms of communication that may have gone unnoticed. Since most people are remote, it provides a fun and engaging platform.
