Low performance + high engagement = coaching opportunity

Both high = your stars to develop and promote

Both low = intervention needed

Early Warning System for Your Team

Know when good performers start disengaging before they start interviewing elsewhere. What's broken isn't the practice—it's the disconnected tools that make reviews time-consuming and biased. We fix that with year-round evidence and connected insights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions We Hear From Growing Companies

How is this different from other performance management platforms?

Most platforms focus on either performance OR engagement, rarely both with connected insights. We show you how these two critical data points work together because that's how people actually function. Plus, we're built specifically for companies your size - not enterprise platforms scaled down or basic small business tools scaled up.

What's your background in this space?

Over 15 years building performance management platforms that companies actually use. We understand the difference between features that demo well and tools that managers adopt in their daily work.

Can we start with just one module?

Absolutely. Many companies start with Performance during review seasons, then add Engagement for year-round insights. Each module works independently, and you can activate them based on your business needs

How long does setup actually take?

Most companies complete the initial setup within a day or two. The timeline depends on your team size and customization preferences, but you'll be operational significantly faster than traditional platforms, which often require weeks or months of IT involvement.

What kind of support do we get?

Real people who understand both the platform and your challenges. Same-day response commitment. No endless phone trees or chatbots.

What if we outgrow your platform?

That's not a concern. We built Upward365 with SMBs in mind, but engineered it for unlimited scale. Whether you have 20 employees today or 20,000 tomorrow, our platform handles your performance and engagement management without breaking stride.
