Goal management software for weekly, not quarterly, updates

Betterworks makes goals part of the day-to-day so they can be 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 into 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

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.

Align goals across teams in minutes

Set aligned goals for whole teams with just a few clicks. Managers can cascade or clone goals while preserving alignment and roll-up visibility, eliminating repetitive setup work. When priorities shift, updates flow across linked goals so teams stay connected and moving in the same direction.

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.

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.
