Our take

Founded in 2013, BetterWorks' founders were committed to developing a new philosophy of work built around the OKR methodology of goal setting, continuous performance management, and employee engagement. The company now offers a cloud based software tool helping employees transparently set, track, and achieve results and organizational goals in line with broader management or organization projects.

The objectives and key results (OKR) sector is currently adapting to recent shifts toward hybrid and remote workforces - and traditional management tools have failed to deliver the required work and growth optimization for these more sprawling models. BetterWorks have solidified their OKR market-leading position, but perhaps more importantly, have secured a world-class Net Promoter Score of +88 - a high customer satisfaction rating suggesting this success is going to stick.

With additional funding raised in 2021 and a raft of high profile clients on board including Hulu, Air Canada, and ExxonMobil, BetterWorks' strategic focus going forward is on developing new integrations, AI, and analytics that will place them well ahead of the pack. This is particularly pertinent as efficiency-maximizing software looks set to become an increasingly vital and lucrative area of growth.
