The challenge

Crakmedia, a Quebec City-based digital marketing company with 180+ employees, was growing quickly and needed to keep teams aligned as it scaled. Managing goals and performance consistently across the organization had become difficult to sustain.

The solution

Crakmedia adopted Betterworks for performance management, Goals & OKRs, and performance reviews, integrated with Slack and Jira. Nearly 2,000 quarterly goals are set in the flow of work, with 100% adoption across employees.

Everyone from the receptionist up to me and my goals are aligned. Everybody — no exceptions.
