"

We chose Performance Leader for three reasons: we really liked the team; we liked the system because it is crisp, relevant to what we need and easy to use; and we instinctively felt that Performance Leader was the right fit for us.”

Moira Slape, HR Director, Travers Smith

"

One of the key features I love using about the system is the data analytics. That gives me the ability to have a clean snapshot of the workforce, how people are performing across divisions, locations or at levels… This ensures a consistency of treatment and also a consistency of performance."

David Meagher, Head of People & Culture, Shine Wing Australia

"

I would definitely recommend Performance Leader to other firms, based on the experience I’ve had, which has been very positive. I would describe Performance Leader as responsive, really focused on client service – excellent client service – and their product is very good."

Julia Paulding, Head of Human Resources, Saffery Champness
