Performance Review Upgrades
We’ve just rolled out a major upgrade to the Performance add-on in Worknice, designed to make reviews scalable for HR teams, simple for managers and employees to complete, and far more insightful.
Run high-impact performance reviews in minutes. Easily define participants, launch cycles across teams, and keep everything on track with smart reminders and clear visibility. Managers get seamless workflows and real-time oversight, while employees enjoy a simple, guided experience. Back it all with powerful insights like 9-box grids, heat maps, and live progress tracking so you can move faster and make better talent decisions.

Data tables
Worknice brings your people data together by connecting with systems like payroll — keeping information from multiple sources available to HR, Finance and any other related team.
Until now, that data lived across individual person profiles in Worknice, making it difficult to view and manage at scale.
Data tables bridges that gap - and it is live now!
More details
Managing people data shouldn’t mean juggling spreadsheets, exports, profiles or outdated reports.
With Data tables, Worknice gives you a single, updated view of your data with saved and filtered tables of your own creation.
Why you’ll love Data tables
Up-to-date data sourced from connected apps (like payroll) and Worknice self-service.
Bring your data together into configurable, trusted views.
Create tables that suit you and your role. Each Account owner can create their own.
Configure column width and order columns with drag and drop functionality.
No more rebuilding reports. No more second-guessing your data. Just clean, structured information. Ready when you are.
