Our workforce describes Actus as very intuitive and easy to use. Unlike our previous system, where appraisals were dreaded due to system complexities, Actus enables employees to focus on the appraisal content rather than struggling with the software. The transition to Actus has been a very positive experience, improving efficiency and engagement across the organisation.
Yasser, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (The DofE)
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (The DofE)The biggest transformation has been visibility. Previously, we couldn’t confirm whether appraisals were taking place. Now, we know with certainty that 98% of our staff completed an appraisal last year, and all are properly documented in the system. I would recommend Actus 100%.
Greg Thompson, Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)
Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)“Actus has played a key role in helping shape a high performing culture and improve ways of working; for us it also now means we can tap into where we’ve got key talent and where we could provide further support or development”
Jamie Carroll AMP
AMPOverall, my experience of selecting, implementing and rolling out Actus was stress-free, fun and rewarding given the positive feedback received by our colleagues on how easy and intuitive Actus is to use and navigate. The pre and post implementation service received by Actus has been nothing short of excellence!
Paula VJ Technology
VJ TechnologyThe early feedback from key stakeholders reported they found the system particularly intuitive because everything was in one place which meant that they didn’t have to think too much. As a result, users got more engaged in the training, asking lots of questions and this resulted in great buy-in and user uptake.
Suzanne Coker Cambridge Weight Plan
Cambridge Weight PlanIt was a bit like a dream come true, because Actus seemed to offer all the functionality we needed and more, from appraisal to an HR database and even compliance. They offered clear, reasonable pricing, especially in comparison to the other systems and importantly, they could and did meet our ambitious timescales
Kate Hughes 7IM Chief People Officer
7IMActus was especially attractive because of the additional modules that could be enabled as the business grows, an example of which is their use of annual 180 degree feedback to develop managers, combined with the ease of use.
Chris Walker, Fichtner
FichtnerThe System has helped our managers to articulate what’s on track, empower them to communicate with their teams more effectively, and create much more focused performance-led quality conversations.
Francesca Fowler, Pelican Procurement
Pelican ProcurementThe ability to be able to adapt the software to meet your organisations needs and the ease in which the system is set up and the ease with which people can use it and understand what they need to do has helped us and is one of the reasons I have recommended the system to a number of other housing associations.
Megan Henderson, Head of Corporate Services
Leeds Federated Housing AssociationOur experience of how Actus supported us during implementation and afterwards has been really good. Working with us as though they are part of the organisation has been great…Actus are really interested in working with you as an organisation, and also on improving the product going forward.
Debbie Murgett, HR Advisor
Pickering and Ferens HomesThere is significant complexity to rolling out SM&CR within GRP and Actus Comply is able to manage this without overcomplicating things. Additionally, the Actus team are collaborative and flexible ready to provide the support we need when we need it.
Craig Pocock, Group HR Director
Global Risk PartnersThe implementation of Actus was completely seamless with a fantastic level of support in the early stages when we needed it most and the ongoing engagement meetings are really valuable, helping us to get the most out of the system and add functionality at our pace. Even now if we need any help the support is quick and effective.

Paul Hayes, HR Director
Scorpio Shipping GroupWe went through a thorough evaluation process when selecting an online performance appraisal tool. Actus stood out for it’s simplicity and ease of use, we knew that users would find it really intuitive. We really wanted a system that would help us to embed better quality conversations all year-round and we feel we have found that with Actus. We are still gaining really good traction and colleagues like its simplicity and clear interface.
Rick Bond, HR Manager
University Campus SuffolkActus scored highly as the most cost-effective, intuitive, user-friendly system, focused on year-round performance management practice.
Rob Baser, Project Manager
Arden & Gem Clinical Commissioning Support Unit (NHS)We brought in the Actus appraisal system to engage and motivate staff and get them to make development and reflection something that they are doing on a continuous basis so to get more out of it. Hopefully, this will be the case when it has been fully embedded in the Trust. Feedback from staff around appraisals also found that they wanted the process to be easier and more user-friendly and Actus certainly is this.
Chris Rusz – Projects Officer
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS TrustThis system is feature rich, providing a full suite of performance management tools from objectives to 121 to development to appraisal. It also provides Learning & Development, talent management, recognition and feedback functionality which is getting lots of buy-in from end users. It is mobile friendly so can be used on the move which increases staff buy-in. So far we have found it highly versatile and great value and would very much recommend both the software and the service provided by the support team.
Steve Graham – Interim HR Director
South East Coast AmbulanceMany employees now see the benefits of Actus as a working document. The support we have had from Actus through the upgrade to a new version has been invaluable. The online guidance manuals and videos are helpful in most situations, but having easy access to telephone support is much appreciated.
Jan Chapman – HR Advisor
Fläkt Woods LtdThe Customer Service is excellent, working with our company to develop our bespoke online appraisal system. Actus provide training, support and guidance with the assurances of an ongoing relationship to further develop the system in future. The absence and holiday recording module is now implemented and a section for recording development is perfect to keep track of training and to record CPD. All systems are very user friendly and reporting options are great. Technical support is second to non and the training delivery staff listen and understand the requirements of the company to allow them to bespoke training sessions to suit our needs.
Emma Charlton – Head of HR
Newcastle United Football ClubSimple process to set up, helpful friendly support staff
Actus is extremely simple to use, cost-efficient and it has helped us role out a collaborative, transparent 121 and appraisal process which benefits both the direct reports and the line managers. Additionally, Actus is continually improving the product and ask for feedback.
Gail Duthrie – HR & Administration
Roland GroupActus support staff have been wonderful, very prompt and patient. We like how all the components (1:1, competencies, objectives, development etc) funnel into the mid-year & final reviews. It saves significant time. Capturing the content of the 1:1, empowering staff to help set the agenda and the automatic reminders about annual mandatory testing are all valuable features.
Sharon Flood – Director of HR
Careica HealthWe are a small organisation working in the not for profit sector. We have had a fantastic experience in working with Actus. The introduction to the product and the support was excellent. The product itself is easy to use and ‘light’, having worked with other systems that felt cumbersome, this was a delight.
