Run Performance Review Calibration with Structure Instead of Vibes
Betterworks Calibration software helps you compare employees side by side with your own custom grid. With performance data, goals, and peer feedback all together, you can make fair decisions in half the time.
Faster performance decisions with Betterworks Calibration
Consistent, unbiased decisions
Every calibration session turns into a tug-of-war over who gets what rating. Without clear performance criteria, ratings feel random, and your team members question the whole process. HR calibration through Betterworks brings all performance data, past ratings, and peer feedback together so managers can judge apples to apples.
Higher employee trust and engagement
Employees trust calibration when the evaluation process is visible and backed by data, not office politics. When people see their ratings connect to real performance evidence, they believe the system works and stay engaged with their development.
Scalable across teams and locations
Running calibration across departments, regions, or business units used to mean endless spreadsheets and mismatched standards. Betterworks gives every team the same framework so HR can compare talent fairly, no matter where people sit.

We always get asked these questions
What does Betterworks Calibration do?
Betterworks Calibration automates talent calibration so HR can run fair, data-driven reviews any time, not just once a year. It pulls ratings and feedback into a customizable grid, lets managers adjust scores together, and publishes final ratings with one click.
How does Betterworks Calibration work?
Performance data from goals, feedback, and conversations flows into a shared calibration view in real time. Managers see each employee, side by side, with context. Drag and drop to adjust placements during calibration sessions. The platform flags rating patterns by department or role, so your calibration committee can spot and fix bias before ratings lock.
What outcomes does Betterworks Calibration deliver?
Performance reviews finish faster, bias drops, and leaders gain a clear view of high performance and talent gaps through calibration performance reviews. Customers report calibration cycles that used to take weeks now close in days. Employees trust the process because decisions are backed by data, not office politics.
How does Betterworks reduce bias in reviews?
The Betterworks platform surfaces rating trends by department, role, or demographic, helping HR teams identify potential bias early. With clear visibility into rating patterns, HR can guide calibration discussions and make informed adjustments to promote fairness and equity before reviews are finalized.
Who is Betterworks Calibration for?
HR leaders and talent teams at enterprises who need to calibrate hundreds or thousands of employees fairly and quickly. If your current process involves spreadsheets, long meetings, and inconsistent standards, Betterworks will cut your time in half.
What makes Betterworks Calibration different from other tools?
Most tools bolt calibration onto a review module as an afterthought. Betterworks connects calibration to the full performance loop: Goals, feedback, 1:1s, and recognition all feed the calibration grid. You see the whole story, not just a number.
How does Betterworks Calibration integrate with our HR systems?
Betterworks syncs with Workday, SuccessFactors, ADP, and other major HRIS platforms. Employee data flows automatically, so you’re always calibrating with current org structures, roles, and reporting lines.
How does Betterworks handle large-scale calibrations across multiple business units or regions?
The platform supports complex enterprise structures with multiple departments, locations, and hierarchies. You can run parallel calibrations across regions for succession planning and talent development, then roll up insights to see talent distribution company-wide. Role-based permissions ensure managers only see their teams, while HR sees everything. The performance appraisal rating system adapts to your organizational complexity.
