Run calibration with structure instead of vibes
Betterworks helps you compare employees side-by-side with your own custom calibration. With performance data, goals, and peer feedback all together, you can make fair decisions in half the time.

Having an issue with your calibration?
Are calibration meetings stressful?
Every calibration meeting is a tug-of-war over who gets what rating. You’re stuck navigating tense conversations, subjective opinions, and managers fighting to protect their teams.
Are your ratings inconsistent?
One manager’s “meets expectations” is another manager’s “outstanding.” Without a clear standard, ratings feel random, and your team starts to question the whole process.
Is documentation all over the place?
Performance notes, feedback, and ratings are scattered across email threads, Slack messages, and random documents. There’s no way to confidently back up your decisions.
Here’s how calibration should look
Build any calibration grid
Most platforms say “Here’s your 9-box — take it or leave it.” Betterworks hands you the canvas to build any model you need, so managers always judge apples-to-apples.


See everyone side-by-side
All of your performance data, past ratings, and peer feedback is brought together for easy analysis. This is for teams who want a fast, neutral review process instead of those tense calibration meetings.

Leave a clear audit trail
It’s hard to remember a decision you made last month, let alone a year ago. Betterworks keeps a running record of performance decisions so it’s easier to spot trends, answer questions, and stay accountable.
