How is PerformYard different from the survey features in my HRIS?
Most HRIS platforms include basic survey functionality, a way to send questions and collect responses. PerformYard connects survey data to your performance management process. Results feed into engagement trends, inform review conversations, and sit alongside goal and feedback data in one platform. The difference is not survey creation. It is what happens with the data after the survey closes.
