Disclaimer: Ask PerformYard uses artificial intelligence to generate answers to employee questions. While it aims to provide concise and accurate responses, they may not always capture all nuances or context from the original company resources. Please consult company resources alongside any generated responses to ensure proper interpretation and decision-making.

Enable Ask HR

Ask HR is a feature within Ask PerformYard that enables your organization to provide instant, accurate answers to common employee questions using your company's own resources. HR admins can build a custom knowledge base by uploading company document, such as policies, procedures, handbooks, and guidelines. When employees ask Ask PerformYard a question, the assistant searches this knowledge base to provide relevant, context-aware answers drawn directly from your organization's materials. This feature aims to help reduce the volume of repetitive HR inquiries while ensuring employees get fast, reliable information when they need it. Ask HR intelligently parses uploaded PDF documents and retrieves the most relevant information to answer each question accurately.

Administrators can enable or disable Ask HR for the entire organization based on team needs or company policies. When disabled, all users, including admins, managers, and employees, will be unable to access answers from company resources through Ask PerformYard.

Enable AI-Assisted Goal Creation

AI-Assisted Goal Creation is a feature within Ask PerformYard that enables employees and managers to quickly generate actionable, relevant goals with the help of AI. When enabled, Ask PerformYard guides users through a short series of questions, such as goal type, focus area, and timeframe, and uses that context alongside existing employee and team data to suggest up to 5 tailored goals. Employees can create goals for themselves, while managers and skip-level managers can generate goals for their direct and indirect reports, and admins can create goals for anyone in the organization. Suggested goals can be reviewed, edited, and created directly from the chat window, helping reduce the time spent on goal formation while ensuring employees and teams start with clear, well-structured performance expectations.

Administrators can enable or disable AI-Assisted Goal Creation for the entire organization based on team needs or company policies. When disabled, all users, including admins, managers, and employees, will be unable to create goals through Ask PerformYard.
