PerformYard

Customize Review Forms & Processes

• Build reviews that reflect your culture and process, from the questions you ask to the timelines you follow. PerformYard's flexibility means you're never locked into a rigid framework.

Easily Deploy Cycles & Track Progress

• Launch review cycles with just a few clicks and monitor participation in real time. Automated reminders keep things moving without HR having to chase anyone down.

Include 360s & External Feedback

• Capture the full picture with self-assessments, upward feedback, multiple managers, skip levels, and even input from external clients or partners. All of it lives within a single, unified platform.

Analyze & Visualize Results

• Dive deep into review outcomes with a variety of visuals and exports. With AI-powered summaries and review assist, managers spend less time writing and more time acting on what matters.

Cascade Your Goals

• Document and communicate strategy from the top down. Define ownership, timelines, and contributions so every employee understands how their work connects to the bigger picture.

Track Individual Progress

• Give every team member a continuous, documented space to manage their goals, tied to company strategy and visible to their manager. Each goal has its own thread for updates, feedback, and collaboration.

Run Structured, Productive 1:1 Meetings

• PerformYard Meetings brings collaborative agendas, shared notes, and task management into a single workspace. Conversations connect directly to goals and surface automatically at review time, so there's no scrambling for documentation.

Understand Engagement, Not Just Performance

• Go beyond reviews with built-in engagement surveys and pulse checks. Visual dashboards and AI-powered cohort analysis help HR leaders identify trends, spot issues early, and walk into leadership conversations with a data-backed story.

Get Clear Visualizations Across the Business

• Turn progress updates into clean charts and dashboards that give executives, managers, and employees a shared understanding of where things stand and where they're headed.

Coaching: Give Every Manager an AI Assist

• PerformYard AI Coaching surfaces insights and recommendations proactively, drawing from reviews, previous conversations, goals, and notes already in PerformYard. The Employee Insights Page shows managers exactly where to act for each employee. The Goal Quality Coach checks new goals against your organization’s goal philosophy as they are written, and the Review Feedback Quality Coach flags bias, vague comments, and ratings that conflict with written feedback.

Compensation: Transparent, Data-Driven Pay

• Managers get a clear budget and each employee’s performance history, so raises are linked directly to review outcomes and stay merit-based, consistent, and budget-aligned across the organization. HR tracks every compensation change from proposal through approval in one workflow instead of chasing edits across email threads.

Competencies: A Blueprint for Growth

• Map the specific skills for every role in your organization so an Analyst 1 can see exactly what it takes to become an Analyst 2, and leadership can see who is ready when a role opens up. Competencies attach to your real job descriptions rather than a generic library. PerformYard AI analyzes skill gaps and surfaces them in Coaching, so managers know which skills to work on next

Tell the Platform What You Want

• Need a bi-annual review for the engineering team with competency tracking and 360-degree feedback? Describe it, and Ask PerformYard builds it. Managers can surface insights for development conversations in an instant, employees can create their goals through a chat, and any report leadership needs on how employees are progressing is a question away.
