BackBeat Performance

Products

One tool, three ways to see your people

Every view works from the same list of people, so you enter them once.

Free and paid

See where every person stands

Plot performance against potential. Pick a person, press 1, 2 or 3, and they land in a box.

  • The column starts from the annual rating, and you can adjust it with a reason. You set potential.
  • People too new to rate are held aside, not forced onto the grid.
  • Undo any move, and the next person is selected for you.
  • Export your results as a CSV any time.

The nine box in BackBeat with sample people placed by performance and potential. Two critical roles are flagged.

Know who could step in, and how soon

Choose your critical roles and name who could take over: ready now, in 1 to 2 years, or in 2 to 3 years.

  • A five-question quick read places every candidate the same way.
  • Name people from your roster or from outside the organization.
  • See who is open to relocating.
  • Roles with no cover are flagged, not buried.

Step back and see the whole picture

Your nine box by level, function, department and tenure, with succession coverage for every critical role.

  • Findings that point to your next step.
  • A plain warning when a group is under 5 people, so a percentage is less likely to point to one person.
  • A report you can print or download, marked confidential.
