Betterworks Wins “Overall Performance Management Company of the Year” Award By RemoteTech Breakthrough
Recognition highlights Betterworks’ role in reshaping performance management for the modern, distributed workforce
MENLO PARK, Calif. – June 20, 2025 – Betterworks, the leading continuous performance management software company, announced it has been named “Overall Performance Management Company of the Year” in the sixth annual RemoteTech Breakthrough Awards. The award recognizes Betterworks’ breakthrough impact in helping distributed teams stay aligned, engaged, and high-performing—without relying on outdated, once-a-year reviews.
This positions Betterworks among the top companies shaping the future of work, alongside past winners like Cisco, PayPal, Dell, and Intel, and affirms Betterworks’ role in helping organizations run fair, transparent, and high-impact performance programs for distributed workforces.
“In remote and hybrid environments, people need more than a check-in,” said Betterworks CEO Doug Dennerline. “They need clarity, coaching, and a sense that their work matters. That’s what we help deliver, wherever teams are working from. When people feel supported and aligned, we see it turn into increased goal achievement, stronger manager-employee relationships, and higher employee retention.”
The RemoteTech Breakthrough Awards are part of Tech Breakthrough’s global recognition platform, which evaluates companies in the most competitive technology sectors. This year’s program received thousands of nominations from over 15 countries.
As remote and hybrid work become the norm—with 32.6 million Americans expected to work remotely in 2025—the performance management category is under pressure. Distributed teams need more than spreadsheets; they need structure and a consistent rhythm for performance and development programs. HR leaders need to be able to scale these practices efficiently while tackling issues like bias and inconsistent evaluations. And executives need sharper visibility into how teams are performing today, and whether they’re equipped for what’s next. With Betterworks, performance management becomes a strategic lever for business readiness, not just admin.
Betterworks turns performance into a strategic advantage by making sure employees always know what’s expected, how they’re doing, and why it matters. This way every employee stays aligned on what moves the business forward.
“Betterworks tackles one of the toughest challenges in remote work: keeping teams aligned, motivated, and performing at a high level without being face to face,” said Bryan Vaughn, managing director of the RemoteTech Breakthrough Awards. “Their reimagined approach to performance management drives real behavior change and builds cultures where people feel connected and productive.”
Today, Betterworks supports over 700,000 employees across 20+ languages, helping HR leaders deliver performance programs that drive measurable impact across productivity, engagement, and retention.
