What is Betterworks?
Betterworks offers intelligent performance management software solutions. Its enterprise-ready SaaS platform helps workforces and organizations achieve their potential with tools that foster greater manager effectiveness and employee performance, with the goal of increasing engagement and retention.
The Betterworks solution combines generative AI and data analytics to enable organizations to make smart, data-informed decisions linked to performance, calibration, skill development, career development, and succession planning.
A performance management solution, it incorporates goal-setting, manager-employee conversations, feedback, employee engagement, and recognition — all accessible in the applications employees use daily in the flow of work, like email, calendars, and messaging apps. Betterworks’ modules capture structured and unstructured data to provide HR with both comprehensive and granular views of employee performance. This enables managers to coach employees in both performance and career development, continuously improving performance and elevating the employee experience.
Increasing manager effectiveness
Betterworks eases the pressure managers experience by helping them more easily meet organizational and employee demands. Using conversation templates and check-in tools, managers can regularly review employee goal progress and engage in meaningful conversations around performance, recognition, and career development. This strengthens manager-employee relationships by increasing trust, transparency, and authenticity.
Delivering a better employee experience with AI as co-pilot
Businesses achieve better outcomes when employees feel engaged, productive, accomplished, and recognized. With Betterworks AI, employees can develop clear goals and metrics. Employees and managers can also create personalized, comprehensive, constructive, and unbiased feedback, leading to greater trust and focused career planning. Managers can use AI to improve the quality and clarity of their communications by drawing on employee goals, feedback, recognition, and other data to coach, express their expectations, and provide actionable and fair performance reviews.

- It has allowed us to align priorities.
- Simplifies the annual employee assessment.
- Gives visibility to the entire operation.
- Asana and Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager
BetterWorks is great at implementing the Objectives and Key Results framework, and it also provides a framework for employee feedback and performance reviews. However, BetterWorks' capabilities to follow up on specific tasks or activities are limited, and you would need to complement these features with another app or platform. Nevertheless, I think in many ways is best to keep these kinds of functionalities isolated.

Loved Hyphen!
We used Hyphen company-wide. At the time, it was the only platform that we could find that allowed us to send text surveys to employees. Having the majority of our work force not be on a computer daily meant that we had to get creative in how we received feedback from our team. Hyphen was able to help us ensure that our workforce was happy, as well as to identify problems quickly and pinpoint any areas that we needed to further investigate. The team was great at helping us customize the platform, and really engaged with us to ensure that we had what we needed.
- Customized platform
- Ensured that we had the support we needed.
- Engaged with us to ensure we could meet our team's needs.
- The ability to respond back to our team members anonymously to dig deeper into issues.
- This allowed us to have a beat on the pulse of our team quickly.
- This allowed us to see targeted areas of need for development or coaching.
- This alerted us to an issue quickly so that we could investigate and deal with a situation before it became a larger issue.

Focus, Alignment, and No Duplicate Work
We use BetterWorks to share top company goals, align team goals with our top goals, and have quarterly conversations about our goals and progress with our teams. Being able to see the goals across the entire company enables transparency and alignment among the cross-functional teams as well as our different departments.
- Neat and easy to understand
- Easy to sort by different critera
- Shows how goals roll up in a tree/chart
- It's sometimes hard to see ONLY your milestones and goals
- Having more default units of measure might be nice (or being able to save your own custom ones)
- Native integrations with software (like HubSpot) would be great

- We've been able to cut down on duplicate work because we're all aware of what everyone is working on.
- We can best leverage everyone's skills by collaborating to achieve top company goals.
- With BetterWorks our top company goals are always front of mind and driving our everyday work keeping us focused.
I haven't seen many other platforms but I've really enjoyed working in BetterWorks from day one. My team was one of the first at our company to jump in and set goals and milestones and it's been easy to use and intuitive. There wasn't much of a learning curve with the platform itself - simply with goal setting in general. It would be nice though if there were some tips on setting good goals in the platform.

From our CEO and other c-level executives down to entry level employees, we have everyone using BetterWorks currently. Some set their own goals which roll up to top company goals while others are assigned a milestone and have periodic conversations with their managers. Everyone at our company has been trained in and is active in BetterWorks in some way.

Our HR/people operations managers are our primary support in BetterWorks. The one who is particularly successful is very social within the company and is always providing us with tips, lunch and learns, and reminders about how to best use BetterWorks. She is going to a conference soon to learn more about the platform and bring us back that knowledge as well.
- Aligning cross-functional teams
- Eliminating duplicate work
- Keeping focused on top company goals
- Updating progress/checking in
- Viewing top company goals
- Creating new milestones under goals
- The goals set by other team members must be written consciously and as measurable goals or it's difficult to create milestones underneath these. Goals that are too lengthy get truncated or are difficult to read. I wouldn't say this is really the fault of BetterWorks but maybe a 'draft' status of a goal would be nice.
- Viewing just your current goals and milestones is oddly difficult even when you filter by name.
- The way you submit conversations is not the most intuitive.
