Performance handrwitten word: micro Management vs. Enablement

Come for better reviews. Stay for better performance

Book a demo

You could waste time comparing features your managers will never use. Or, you can enable them to perform.

Managers have a tough job.

Push progress, give feedback, hold people accountable, keep engagement high, burnout low...

No wonder you get groans when it’s β€œperformance management season”. Performance isn’t a season for them — It’s their job.

You need a performance-oriented culture. Not performance micro-management.
95% of managers hate their performance management system
10% of a manager’s work year is spent on performance review-related activites
90% of HR Leaders don’t think their performance system generates accurate information
77% of employees think their performance system is outdated

There is a better way

HR leaders switch from Lattice, Leapsome, and 15five to us for many reasons.
But here's why their managers applaud the switch.

When performance is a daily habit, annual reviews are effortless.

What Spinach won't do

Part of what makes us special is what we say no to.

  • Add work for managers

    We’re designed to make managers’ lives easier. We’ll never make them do extra work, instead we focus on enabling them to do a great job.

  • Give you a blank page

    Blank pages are for writers. You’ll build on what you’ve already done or we’ll use data to make a draft.

  • Reintroduce it every year

    We’ll never make you reintroduce performance management every year. We’ll make it a habit so you can focus on the things that matter.

  • Add excessive admin burden

    Smart defaults, easy to edit. Automate everything else. Simply set and forget.

  • Make you chase people

    Chasing people is for zombies, not HR leaders. We won’t make you chase people, we’ll do it for you if we can’t do it for them.

  • Treat everyone the same

    We’re flexible, so you can do things in a way that makes sense for your team. We just make it easy to get started.

  • Add modules no one uses

    We’ll never add modules that no one uses, we’ll just make the ones you do use 10x better.

You’ll believe it when you see it

And we’re not scared to show it — that’s why we let managers use Spinach by themselves, for free.

We can’t wait to show you how their daily usage makes your life 100x better.
