Performance management is evolving from an annual, administrative burden to a continuous, strategic process that actively supports employee growth. To power this shift, Workleap, a leading Canadian software company, has announced several new AI-powered features for its Workleap Performance platform. These updates are designed to create a more connected workflow, enabling HR and managers to run impactful reviews, set clearer goals, and have more meaningful feedback conversations within a single, unified system.
Workleap Performance introduces new AI features to streamline the entire performance management cycle.
A new Goal Management module allows for setting, tracking, and updating objectives with AI-driven suggestions.
AI-powered review cycles automate setup, integrate real work data, and highlight key achievements and trends.
The platform now provides real-time progress tracking and calibration tools for managers and HR leaders.
AI support is extended to all users, including employees and peers, for writing reflections and feedback.
The updates aim to save managers time, provide leaders with clarity, and keep performance conversations continuous.
A key addition is the new approach to Goal Management. This feature enables employees, managers, and teams to set objectives that are directly aligned with organizational priorities. Goals can be tracked through measurable key results, with automated status notifications and AI-driven suggestions for refinement based on role and past performance. Team dashboards consolidate this data, giving managers a unified, real-time view of how individual and team contributions are driving broader business outcomes.
The core of the update is a redesigned, AI-powered review cycle that connects HR strategy with everyday work data. This intelligent experience is built to transform reviews from generic forms into insight-driven, culture-specific growth conversations. The process is broken down into three AI-supported stages: using AI to build tailored performance frameworks in minutes, running reviews that integrate data from tools like Jira and Slack for rich context, and enriching the process by having AI highlight achievements and suggest draft responses for managers to refine.
"Performance management has been stuck in the past as slow, clunky and disconnected from how people actually work," said Guillaume Roy, Co-founder & Chief Product Officer at Workleap. "Workleap Performance puts AI to work in a tangible way, creating a unified ecosystem where context, data and coaching all work together to help managers and employees make better decisions, faster and while keeping performance conversations human and continuous."
To support informed and equitable decision-making, Workleap Performance now offers robust Progress Tracking & Calibration tools. Managers and HR leaders can monitor performance metrics across teams, view rating distributions, and compare results across different groups. Complete review histories provide the necessary transparency to ensure consistency and fairness throughout the performance management cycle. By combining continuous goal-setting, intelligent reviews, and real-time insights, the platform creates a modern performance rhythm that builds organizational alignment without the traditional heavy lifting.
