Betterworks has been recognized as the Best Comprehensive Talent Management solution by Lighthouse Research & Advisory in the annual LIGHTHOUSE TECH Awards, honoring the top organizations who solve core challenges of businesses in the enterprise market.
The award recognizes solutions that help HR leaders improve performance management, goal alignment, and employee development across the organization.
The LIGHTHOUSE TECH Awards are known for being the best, most objective HR Tech Awards program in the market. Judges are drawn from industry positions (CXOs, talent leaders, and other business professionals), academia, and other relevant and independent subject matter experts.
Winners are chosen based on five key areas: Problem(s) the technology solves in the market, case study, differentiation analysis, software evaluation, and company evaluation.
The Industry Challenge HR Leaders Are Facing
As organizations navigate evolving workplace expectations, HR leaders face increasing pressure to connect company strategy with day-to-day employee performance. Yet many organizations still rely on disconnected systems for goals, feedback, and performance conversations, creating gaps in visibility and alignment.
Without a unified approach, leaders struggle to understand how work contributes to strategic priorities, while managers lack the insights needed to effectively coach and develop their teams. At the same time, employees expect clearer expectations, more frequent feedback, and greater opportunities for growth.
Solving this challenge has become a priority for organizations looking to improve performance, engagement, and accountability across the business.
How Betterworks Helps Organizations Align Strategy and Performance
Betterworks helps organizations bridge the gap between strategy and execution by bringing goals, performance conversations, feedback, and employee development together in a single platform.
“Betterworks addresses the core challenge HR leaders face when strategy disconnects from execution: employees lack clarity on priorities, and managers lack visibility into progress,” The Lighthouse Research & Advisory Awards judging panel said. “The platform unifies goals, feedback, and conversations into a single system, enabling real-time alignment and evidence-based coaching rather than annual guesswork.”
Betterworks enables organizations to:
Align company goals with team and individual objectives
Enable continuous feedback and coaching throughout the year
Provide leaders with real-time visibility into progress and performance
Support employee growth through development and data-informed insights
