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.​

Katherine Kay
VP Human Resources
Betterworks helped us create a talent management development process that’s continuous and integrated, not a single annual event. A lot of companies go through big cultural realignment exercises, but in the end it’s lip service and nobody remembers it. But thanks to Betterworks we live it every day, from the top to the bottom of our organization. Best of all, Betterworks has made our business a better business enterprise—a rising tide should lift all boats.
Bryan Singer
Director, People Operations
Zilliant did not have a performance process prior to the current HR team's arrival. Betterworks has helped us create and build a repeatable process that links goals, conversations, 1:1s, feedback and talent calibration together.
