Goal management software for weekly, not quarterly updates
Betterworks goal management software makes goals part of the day to day so they become the foundation for performance reviews. Automatically coach your team on what good looks like, send goal reminders in the tools they already use, and bring trustworthy data to every performance conversation.
Goal management software for better performance
Fairer, data-driven performance reviews
Reviews turn into memory contests when they lack goal data. Managers scramble to recall what someone did six months ago. Betterworks surfaces goal progress completion automatically through goal-setting software, so every review is grounded in facts, not guesswork.
Faster strategic alignment
When company priorities shift, most teams find out through all-hands announcements—when it’s too late. Align around goals that cascade from strategy to execution in real time, helping everyone adjust and move forward.
More focused execution
Teams waste time on work that doesn’t ladder up to company objectives. When goals connect individual tasks to company OKRs, each team member sees what matters most and where to focus. Reduce busy work, make more meaningful progress toward achieving goals.
Here’s how goals management can look
Goal management software built for enterprise alignment
Coach employees to write clear, actionable, and strategic goals
Complicated HR tools leave employees guessing about quality and alignment. Instantly coach employees on goal setting using AI-powered Goal Assist. The AI reviews job title, past goals, and team priorities to suggest specific goals that connect to the company strategy and help teams align.
Track progress in real time, not review time
Send reminders where people already communicate, and capture updates from the tools where work gets done. With goal-tracking software, goals aren’t forgotten but become part of the flow. A nudge pings in Slack when an OKR drifts 10% off track. Teams update goals weekly, not quarterly, to continuously track progress.
Keep goals top of mind
Give real transparency to goals, then embed updates right in the tools employees already use. Now they are looked at every week … not just the last week of the quarter.
Bring reliable goal data into reviews
Goals should be relevant and part of every performance review. Now you can automatically surface goal completion data and weight goals for a more meaningful review process. Managers arrive with context, not vague recollections. Employees see how their work contributed.
