User Testimonials
	PeopleGoal	PerformYard
Likelihood to Recommend	Easy implementation with minimum budget. Ambition to drive change in people management. Reduction of heavy clunky processes and systems. Incentivized KV Kevin Vaz HR Director Read full review	It is an online system that we were able to use to create our evaluation forms. Once our HR person triggers that you have to do an evaluation of someone you will receive emails reminding you that you have to do it. In addition we can set them with due dates. Telling managers that they are being evaluated on making sure they give staff timely evaluations has really helped getting them to do them. In our first year some of the managers got "dinged" for not providing feedback to their staff and they were not happy about it. Now it isn't a problem. In addition the "quick feedback" is a game changer. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	A performance transformation. Complete visibility. Stand-out customer service. Attributable top-line growth through active people management. Designed with customer challenges in mind. Clear roadmap for continual improvement. Simple yet effective. Incentivized KV Kevin Vaz HR Director Read full review	Allows constructive feedback from multiple sources Is easy to navigate and simple to complete with takeaways that are helpful and areas where improvement is needed Can be accessible to employees who are looking to bring on additional resources for a particular project or engagement Incentivized Christopher Bauman Manager - Accounting Advisory Read full review
Cons	Every feedback has been taken into consideration with continual and quick implementation to better the system. Incentivized KV Kevin Vaz HR Director Read full review	Connecting multiple sites where information is stored to the progress you are updating with the PerformYard site would be beneficial. Less work doubling efforts at times. Attachment options on your goals would give you a quick place to use for a reference. For instance, goal to increase sales by certain percentage annually could benefit from an attached document showing those number increases with 1 file attachment.

You are assigned an account manager who walks you through every step of the process when you sign on to use PerformYard. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The support from PerformYard is unmatched when compared to other systems I have worked with. Not to say that the support personnel always have an immediate answer, but they are so committed to solution and timeliness that it is not long before we are able to work through any issues. Emails are quickly returned for ease of access, and they never fail to offer to hop on a call and visually walk through something if that may help the issue!

You won't regret it! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	Without sharing numbers, it has contributed significantly (50%+) on topline growth as a result of active tracking and focus on deliverables and clarity of communication, etc. Incentivized KV Kevin Vaz HR Director Read full review	I'm not aware of the cost of the system but it definitely saves me and my team a lot of time getting through the reviews. There are additional features to the software that I haven't fully explored but will at least experiment with as it has been very helpful so far.
