Performance management software for better talent decisions grounded in real work
Betterworks helps HR leaders turn performance into a real-time intelligence system — connecting Goals, Feedback, Skills, and 1-1 meetings to drive stronger execution and more defensible decisions.
Performance management is too important
to be disconnected from the work
HR lacks real-time visibility into performance, skills, and capability across the organization. The result is slower decisions, misaligned execution, and weaker talent outcomes. Betterworks helps turn performance into a continuous, data-driven system built around real work, real outcomes, and better decisions.
Backward looking
Traditional performance management documents the past instead of driving what happens next
Disconnected from the work
Performance reviews are too slow, subjective, and disconnected from real work
Performance isn’t aligned to business goals
Traditional reviews track employee activities and are not aligned to outcomes
No real-time visibility
HR has no live view of how performance is trending — until it's too late to act
Ineffective managers
Managers lack the context to coach effectively and make fair decisions
Biased decisions
When performance is episodic and fragmented, high-stakes talent decisions default to memory and bias
Everything you need to make performance continuous, connected, and actionable
Goals and OKRs anchored to business execution
Performance starts with goals tied to real priorities—not static processes, creating a clear, shared system of execution across the organization.
In the flow of work
Integrated with daily tools and supported by AI, Betterworks makes it easy for employees and managers to update progress, capture feedback, and stay aligned as work happens.
Built on real work data
Captures signals from Goals, Feedback, and Conversations—not surveys or snapshots after-the-fact.
Give managers real context
Equip managers with continuous, evidence-based insights right to your 1-1s from Goals, Feedback, and Conversations.
Enterprise ready
Tailored to fit your organization, security, matrix structures, and more.

How it works
01
Align every employee's work to business outcomes
The old way
The Problem
Many performance systems track activity, not outcomes. That makes it hard to see whether work is actually moving the business forward.
The Betterworks way
The Solution
Betterworks helps organizations align company, team, and individual goals so performance starts with what matters most: business priorities and measurable outcomes.
Key capabilities
Goal alignment engine
AI goal recommendations
Outcome tracking and visibility
Cross-team alignment views
02
Make performance real-time, not episodic
The old way
The Problem
Annual and semiannual reviews were built for a slower world. By the time feedback is delivered, it is often incomplete, outdated, or disconnected from the work itself.
The Betterworks way
The Solution
Betterworks makes performance an always-on process, with feedback, check-ins, and coaching embedded into the flow of work so managers and employees can stay aligned in real time.
Key capabilities
Continuous feedback system
In-the-flow check-ins and 1:1s

03
Help managers coach with clarity and confidence
The old way
The Problem
Managers are overloaded, and too often performance conversations depend on instinct, memory, or incomplete inputs. That leads to inconsistent coaching and weaker outcomes
The Betterworks way
The Solution
Betterworks gives managers a complete, evidence-based view of employee performance grounded in goals, feedback, skills, and business impact — so coaching is more relevant, actionable, and consistent.
Key capabilities
1:1s and check-ins tied to live goals

Continuous feedback capture across the work cycle
04
Run fairer, more defensible performance reviews
The old way
The Problem
High-stakes decisions are often made using fragmented data and subjective judgment, increasing inconsistency and risk.
The Betterworks way
The Solution
Betterworks helps organizations run more structured, evidence-based reviews by bringing together goals, feedback, skills, and performance signals in one trusted system.

Review automation
Unified talent data layer
