Performance Management Software
Complete employee assessments with higher consistency, efficiency and less burden


What our software does
A high-performance way to manage reviews

Paycom’s automated performance management software helps you align employee performance with business priorities. Set expectations, track progress and support development in one place. If you’re looking for performance review software or employee evaluation software, Paycom keeps the process consistent and easy to follow.
Standardize your review process
Formalize review formats, criteria and competencies so managers use the same approach. That makes feedback clearer and helps employees clearly understand expectations.
Align work to business priorities
Connect company, team and individual goals so employees can see how their work ladders up. This improves goal quality, makes goal administration easier to scale and supports day-to-day clarity, not just during annual reviews.
Create meaningful, measurable goals with AI assistance
Strong performance starts with strong goals. With AI-assisted goal-generating technology, employees and leaders enter key details to create goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based.
Give managers better feedback tools
Make feedback a regular part of work. Document progress, coach faster and keep expectations consistent with two-way input.
Track employee performance over time
Monitor employee performance throughout the year, keep reviews on schedule and document outcomes so leaders can connect performance to pay decisions when appropriate.
Maintain fairness and compliance
Keep evaluations consistent and documented. Maintain records that support fairness, transparency and compliance.
How Paycom is different
Everything in a single software

Paycom’s Performance Management tool runs in our truly single software. That means automation can move information across your industry operations and systems without reentry or delays.
- Data-driven performance evaluation and monitoring: Use reporting to track goals, feedback and outcomes over time.
- Employee engagement, feedback and alignment: Tie expectations to goals and two-way feedback so employees know how their work contributes to the big picture.
- Connected workflows: Keep performance activity tied to HR and payroll records so managers can follow up with context.
- Automation: Reduce manual steps by keeping performance data connected across tools in one software.
With one login and password, data flows freely between tools. Performance outcomes can flow to Compensation Budgeting using real-time payroll data. This keeps data consistent, from review to action.


Seamless performance reviews
A review process you can count on
Because Performance Management connects to other tools in our single software, you don’t have to manage handoffs. Reviews move through a clear workflow from start to approval, so you can focus on development and retention.
Step 1: Start performance reviews
Once a performance review starts, it flows to a manager and any additional reviewers, if applicable.
Step 2: Employee self-review
Our software notifies employees to complete a self-review. Once they do, the review flows back to their manager.
Step 3: Manager approval
Managers are alerted to any pending reviews or approvals. Once they make a final decision, employees receive comments and rating info.
Step 4: Payroll updates automatically
Our Performance Management software sends relevant data to our Compensation Budgeting tool with approved wage changes autopopulating in payroll.
