PerformYard

PerformYard gives HR teams the flexibility to run the kinds of reviews that fit their culture, from full employee appraisals and 360-degree feedback to quarterly check-ins, annual reviews, and project-based reviews. Review cycles can be built around a company's own timeline rather than a fixed calendar, and built-in one-on-ones keep managers and employees talking regularly instead of just once or twice a year.

Writing thoughtful, unbiased feedback takes time, so PerformYard's AI tools lend a hand along the way. Managers get AI-assisted writing, rephrasing support, and tone elevation to make feedback clearer and more constructive, while AI-powered summaries and multi-form summaries pull together key takeaways from reviews so nothing important gets buried in the details.

Good feedback shouldn't be limited to formal review season. With PerformYard, teams can share continuous feedback, recognize employees for great work, and jot down performance notes as things happen in real time. Managers can also give feedback directly or respond to feedback requests, keeping communication open, and building a habit of regular, honest input.

Understanding how a team is really performing takes more than gut feeling, which is where PerformYard's reporting tools come in. Dashboards reveal performance trends over time and let leaders track results by individual, team, or department, while 9-box grids, rankings, and summary reports translate raw data into clear insights. Data can also be exported, and review form calculations run automatically to save time on manual math.

Beyond reviews, PerformYard features ‘Employee Engagement’ that helps organizations understand how employees genuinely feel through the PerformYard Engagement Survey, built on customizable engagement factors and questions. An engagement trends dashboard and satisfaction factor analysis reveal where morale is strong and where it needs attention, and dynamic employee cohorting lets leaders break results down by group for a more accurate read.

One-on-ones work best when both sides come prepared, so PerformYard turns meetings into a shared space with collaborative agendas and shared task tracking that keep everyone accountable. Public and private notes give managers and employees room to document what matters, and review integration ties meeting history directly back into the performance review process.

From onboarding to exit interviews, PerformYard makes it simple to build and run surveys with an easy survey builder that supports multiple question types. Teams can track participation as it happens through a live response dashboard, manage several surveys at once, and export results to CSV whenever deeper analysis is needed.
