Enhancing Workday with BetterWorks Workday is a leading Human Capital (HCM) and financial management platform for managing talent across global organizations. Workday effectively supports traditional and annual-based performance management processes. For organizations that are looking to operationalize their goals with a more frequent cadence, BetterWorks is the right complementary solution. The BetterWorks platform integrates bi-laterally with Workday, allowing organizations to access a full suite of HCM capabilities along with an agile goal management platform. For goals to be engaging, they need to be set in a transparent and aspirational way, helping individuals see how their goals roll up to the top company priorities. More importantly, progress-based goals with frequent check-ins bring agility that many organizations are looking for. Taking this into account, BetterWorks has taken a unique approach to managing goals. By applying Goal Science thinking, BetterWorks brings connectedness, support and adaptability, so your organization is empowered to manage goals in the most modern way unlike any other platform. "A mere 7% of employees today fully understand their company s business strategies and what s expected of them in order to help achieve company goals." Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, Co-authors and Harvard professors Applying Goal Science Thinking The BetterWorks platform is designed for today s workforce by applying five Goal Science pillars, based on proven goal setting practices and organizational research. Connected With BetterWorks, employees can visually see how goals cascade from the top down and horizontally across teams, helping align goals with your company s mission.

With built in-social and reinforcement features, employees can easily comment, cheer, nudge or assign goals to anyone across the organization, enabling a transparent working culture. "BetterWorks provides the transparency we value as a company it's a great social platform for tracking measurable goals and supporting our progress." Roberta Riga, Chief People Officer Adaptable Modern goal-setting processes strive to be dynamic and agile. With BetterWorks, employees can modify, refine, archive and add new goals frequently and continuously as priorities shift to get the right work done. Progress-based Progress has been shown to be a powerful force in motivating employees to do their best. Studies including the one by Amabile and Kramer uncovering the progress principle demonstrate that the progress loop is self-reinforcing. BetterWorks dashboards and notifications show progress tracking that encourages users to update goals frequently and capture small wins. Aspirational Because goals should be somewhat difficult to achieve, goal setting and tracking should not be directly tied to compensation. The rationale for this separation is that tying goal setting to compensation can lead to gaming the system. The BetterWorks platform encourages employees to set meaningful and stretch goals by leveraging goal scoring techniques and providing historical insights on completed goals.
