Windmill vs. PerformYard Performance Management

Windmill is the first performance review system people actually like. Powered by AI, it synthesizes all your 1:1 conversations, project work, and feedback throughout the year into reviews that write themselves. Employees respond to quick prompts in Slack instead of staring at blank forms trying to remember six months back. Managers walk in with the full story. HR finally has a process that doesn't need constant nudging. Companies using Windmill cut down time by 83% per cycle time and report 93% employee satisfaction with the process.

PerformYard is one platform for employee performance management and development, built for HR teams that want flexibility without complexity. The performance foundation covers review cycles of any shape (annual, quarterly, project-based, 360-degree, probation, performance improvement plans), custom forms and rating scales, cascading goals and OKRs, continuous feedback and recognition, structured 1:1 meetings, anonymous engagement surveys, and reporting through live dashboards, 9-box grids, and trend analysis. PerformYard Development turns that data into decisions.
