For Mid-Market Companies (200 to 1,000 Employees)

Enterprise-Grade Performance Management. Without Enterprise Pricing or Complexity.

Mid-market HR teams need the full stack: reviews, calibration, goals, check-ins, development plans, and engagement data. PerformSpark delivers all of it in one platform at a flat per-user price, managed entirely by HR without IT involvement.

No IT Required

Manager-Friendly

Future-Proof Growth

Mid-Market Is the Hardest Stage for Performance Management

Too large for informal processes to hold. Too lean to run an enterprise implementation. Too budget-conscious to pay per-module for every feature. Mid-market companies get squeezed from every direction.

Enterprise platforms are overkill and overpriced

Workday and SAP are built for 10,000-employee organisations. The implementation costs, minimum contracts, and complexity are not designed for a 400-person company with a three-person HR team.

Modular pricing punishes growth

Lattice and 15Five sell features in separate modules. Every time you add engagement surveys or compensation, the price jumps. Budgeting for the full stack becomes unpredictable as the team scales.

HR teams are too small to manage complex platforms

A two or three person HR team cannot run a system that requires dedicated admin, IT support, and a change management programme just to launch a review cycle.

Structured reviews your HR team can launch and manage without help

PerformSpark runs full review cycles from one dashboard. Templates configurable by department and role. Automated reminders handle completion. HR tracks everything without a separate tracking spreadsheet or manual follow-up.

Department and role-specific review templates in one platform
Automated scheduling, reminders, and escalation as deadlines approach
Live completion dashboard across every team and manager
Self-assessment, manager review, and peer feedback in one flow
See how reviews work ➜

Company goals that are still visible when the review opens

At mid-market scale, goals set in January are forgotten by September. PerformSpark connects company OKRs to team and individual goals and tracks progress in real time. Goal data is already there when reviews start.

OKR setting at company, team, and individual level
Real-time goal progress visible to all employees and managers
Goals automatically connected to review and calibration data
Milestone check-ins to keep quarterly priorities visible

HR visibility into manager conversations across every department

At 300 to 500 employees, HR cannot be in every room. PerformSpark tracks 1-on-1 frequency per manager automatically and alerts HR when coaching conversations stop happening across any part of the business.

Structured check-in agendas for every manager tier
Coaching frequency tracked per manager and department
TrAI alerts when cadence drops below your standard

The calibration rigour of a large enterprise without a dedicated team to run it

TrAI analyses rating patterns across all your managers before each calibration session and surfaces inconsistencies automatically. Your HR team does not need to spend days preparing the calibration data. It is already done.

Pre-session rating pattern analysis across all departments
Automatic outlier detection before the session starts
9-box talent matrix for cross-department talent reviews
Full audit trail of every calibration decision
See calibration in action ➜

Performance and development plans your HR team can track without spreadsheets

Every active PIP and IDP managed in the platform alongside reviews and check-ins. Every milestone tracked. Every action logged. HR has a live view of every active plan across the entire organisation without chasing managers for updates.

Structured PIP and IDP templates with milestone tracking
TrAI alerts when plans are at risk before they fail
Full audit trail for every action and decision
Both manager and employee view of every active plan

Engagement data that connects to performance, not just a separate score

Mid-market companies cannot afford the turnover costs that enterprise firms absorb. Pulse surveys and eNPS on your cadence give HR early signals by department and manager, connected to performance and check-in data in the same dashboard.

Pulse surveys on weekly, monthly, or quarterly cadence
eNPS tracking by department and manager
Engagement trends connected to performance outcomes
Manager effectiveness ratings visible to HR leaders

Mid-Market Companies That Get the Most From PerformSpark

Companies between 200 and 1,000 employees

Too large for informal processes, too lean for enterprise software. PerformSpark is built exactly for this stage.

Companies scaling past the HRIS performance module

Your HRIS handles payroll and records. PerformSpark handles performance. The two work alongside each other without conflict.

HR teams of 1 to 5 people

PerformSpark is configured and managed by HR without IT involvement. The platform does the administration so the team does not have to.

Companies where Lattice is getting expensive

PerformSpark delivers the same core capabilities at a flat all-in price. No modules to buy as the team grows.

Multi-department companies needing calibration

TrAI runs cross-department calibration analysis automatically. Mid-market companies get the same calibration quality as large enterprises without a team to run it.

Any industry at mid-market scale

Healthcare, financial services, tech, professional services, manufacturing. PerformSpark works across industries without industry-specific configuration.
