FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is employee engagement software?
Employee engagement software is a tool that helps companies measure and improve how motivated and satisfied their employees are. It collects feedback through surveys, tracks engagement trends over time, and gives HR teams and managers the data they need to understand what is driving or undermining performance across the organization.
How does the employee engagement software measure engagement?
PerformYard measures engagement through anonymous surveys built around seven factors most strongly correlated with employee performance. Results are tracked over time and broken down by employee cohort so HR can see which groups are thriving and which need attention.
What kind of analytics and reports can we generate with this software?
PerformYard generates real-time performance dashboards showing overall engagement scores, factor-level breakdowns, cohort comparisons, and trend data over time. HR teams can filter by department, location, or tenure to identify where to focus. PerformYard Engage AI surfaces key themes from open-ended responses so manual analysis is not required.
How does employee engagement software ensure data security and protect employee privacy?
The software ensures data security by using encryption to protect information. It also limits access to authorized users only and follows strict privacy laws to safeguard employee data from unauthorized access or breaches.
Can PerformYard integrate with my existing HR systems?
Yes. PerformYard integrates with major HRIS platforms including BambooHR, ADP, Gusto, Rippling, UKG, Workday, Paylocity and more. Employee data syncs automatically so survey distribution and cohort analysis stay accurate without manual updates.
How is PerformYard different from standalone engagement survey tools?
Standalone engagement tools like Qualtrics or Culture Amp are built specifically for survey data collection and analysis. PerformYard is built for performance management first, which means engagement data connects directly to reviews, goals, and feedback rather than living in a separate system. Survey results inform the performance conversations that change things.
How does employee engagement software connect to performance management?
In PerformYard, engagement survey data sits in the same platform as performance reviews, goal tracking, and continuous feedback. Managers see engagement trends alongside performance data at review time. HR can act on what employees say in surveys rather than waiting for the next review cycle to address what surfaced.
What is the difference between employee engagement software and employee survey software?
Employee survey software is a tool for building and distributing surveys. Employee engagement software is a broader category that includes survey creation alongside trend analysis, cohort reporting, action planning, and in PerformYard's case, direct connection to performance management. The survey is the measurement instrument. The engagement platform is what you do with the results.
