Companies With Continuous Performance Programs More Consistently Achieve Their Top Priorities, Increase Employee Engagement and Retain Their Top Talent
Betterworks, the leading enterprise HR software for Continuous Performance Management, released the first report based on insights from their 2019-2020 State of Continuous Performance Management Survey. This report focused on quantifying the business impact of a continuous performance process. Overwhelmingly, respondents in organizations who have adopted continuous performance practices saw better results for their businesses. In fact, they reported outperforming or significantly outperforming their competition at a 24% higher rate.

The research found that respondents from organizations with a continuous performance process in place reported significant improvements in the ability of their business to deliver on the following critical business objectives:
- Achieving the top goals and priorities of the organization
- Nurturing an aligned workforce
- Attracting and retaining top talent
- Helping managers become better managers
“Legacy annual performance management techniques and technologies are totally failing to meet the needs of the modern enterprise and its workforce. In response more and more organizations are embracing Continuous Performance Management,” said Doug Dennerline, chief executive officer at Betterworks. “This year’s State of Continuous Performance Management Survey revealed that when companies adopt a continuous process, they see it delivering better business results.”
