About Betterworks
Betterworks is a commercial performance management platform that connects goals, feedback, skills and talent data. Companies use it to align team and individual objectives with company priorities, run continuous feedback and review cycles, and support talent decisions with people analytics.
The performance management product includes goals and OKRs, feedback, 1:1 meetings with shared agendas, conversations for review cycles, engagement surveys, and analytics. Conversational intelligence turns meeting transcripts into performance insights. The talent intelligence product adds calibration, succession planning, skills intelligence and unified talent profiles that show skills, growth and performance for each employee.
Betterworks also highlights AI features meant to improve the consistency and fairness of performance decisions, and an MCP interface that brings goals, recognition and performance data into outside AI tools. It is a hosted service sold through tours and conversations with experts, with plans listed on a separate page.
