Connect to the Tools You Already Use
Your performance management system should fit into your existing workflow — not create a new one. PerformYard connects to your HRIS to keep employee data accurate, enables SSO for fast secure access, and brings recognition into Slack and Microsoft Teams. Less admin. No extra logins. No standalone tools to manage.
These integrations help your team stay connected, reduce administrative work, and make performance management feel like a natural part of the workflow.
We Help You Launch. You Focus on Performance.
Most performance management systems take months to implement. PerformYard pairs you with an experienced success manager who helps you design your process, train employees, launch your first cycles – fast. Prefer to move at your own pace? Follow our step-by-step guides and documentation to get up and running on your own.
“PerformYard helps me track progress and ensure I am getting completed forms from every employee across all departments. This was nearly impossible before we used PerformYard.”
“The setup of forms and templates was really easy. Also, the PerformYard forms are an almost perfect match of the Excel forms. In fact, the online version actually enhanced and added better features.”
“All aspects of the program are customizable. Throughout the entire set up process we have not heard “no we can’t do that.” We interviewed over 10 companies and PerformYard was by far the most comprehensive.”
“It truly makes the annual evaluation process seamless and easy to document. Employees are more motivated to set goals and formalize their successes.”
“PerformYard really helped us create an easy-to-maintain cadence of communication for employee development and performance management. It is flexible enough to serve our local and distributed workforce and the alert system is among the best I've seen.”

“PerformYard is simple and organized. The product’s calendar and task list shows me what's done and what needs to be done.”
What to Look for in an Employee Performance Management System
Flexibility
The right system adapts to your process, not the other way around. Look for configurable review cycles, custom questions, and support for every review type your teams actually run.
Full-Cycle Coverage
Goals, reviews, feedback, and reporting should all live in one place. Disconnected tools create gaps in your process and blind spots in your data.
HR-First Design
Your HR team shouldn't spend more time managing the tool than using it. The best systems reduce admin work through automation, not add to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an employee performance management system?
An employee performance management system is a structured platform that helps organizations set goals, run review cycles, collect feedback, and track performance data, all in one place. The best systems connect every part of the process so HR, managers, and employees are working from the same information.
How is PerformYard different from my HRIS?
Your HRIS stores employee data. PerformYard is built specifically for the performance management process, reviews, feedback, goals, and reporting. Most HRIS platforms include basic performance features; PerformYard goes deeper on every one of them, with reporting dashboards and trends your HRIS was never designed to provide. It connects directly to your HRIS so your employee data stays accurate without any manual syncing.
Does PerformYard support different review types for different teams?
Yes. You can run annual reviews, quarterly check-ins, 360 reviews, project-based reviews, and more. Each with custom questions, timing, and participant groups. Different teams can run completely different processes from the same platform.
How long does PerformYard implementation take?
Most teams are up and running within a few weeks. PerformYard assigns you a dedicated success manager who handles process design, employee training, and your first launch. Or you can use our self-serve guides to move at your own pace.
Can PerformYard scale as our company grows?
Yes. PerformYard is used by teams from 50 to several thousand employees. The platform is designed to grow with you — adding new review types, teams, and integrations as your performance management needs evolve.
