The behavioral insights feature in Perform delivers essential data about each employee's communication preferences and management needs. This information appears in dedicated 1:1 workspaces, providing managers with personalized guidance for interacting with their direct reports.

The platform's behavioral analysis supports managers in several key ways:
Identifying individual communication styles to inform more effective management practices

Guiding managers in addressing specific challenges in employee interactions
Providing actionable insights to help managers unlock employee strengths
By offering this detailed behavioral data, Perform equips managers with the tools they need to create more meaningful and productive work relationships, ultimately leading to better employee outcomes and stronger team performance.
The platform's Meeting Mode feature is designed to enhance focus during discussions by keeping everyone aligned on the primary topic of conversation. Participants can collaboratively work on discussion points, take real-time notes, and assign action items with clear owners and deadlines. This structured approach to meeting documentation helps team members stay engaged and ensures that follow-up actions are tracked effectively.
Automated meeting summaries are generated and distributed to all participants after each discussion, serving two primary purposes. First, they ensure that everyone leaves the meeting with a clear understanding of the outcomes and next steps. Second, these summaries help prevent the phenomenon of the "last speaker effect," where only the ideas of the person speaking last in a meeting receive full attention.
In terms of scheduling and organization, Perform simplifies the process of managing 1:1 and group meetings. It provides dedicated workspaces specifically designed for these different types of discussions, with features like agendas and notifications to help maintain focus and participation. When combined with the platform's integrations with tools like Zoom, team members can transition smoothly between collaboration and video conferencing without losing context or momentum.
