Turn PI insights into performance and leadership impact, every day.

Perform Essentials brings the powerful behavioral insights from Hire and Inspire and puts it directly into the hands of your managers. While those systems provide valuable data, Perform Essentials makes it actionable—helping managers personalize their leadership approach, improve 1:1s, conduct more effective team meetings, and deliver continuous feedback.

It bridges the gap between strategic insights and real-world application, ensuring managers can not only hire top performers but also coach, develop, and engage them for better team performance. Perform Essentials brings science-backed tools to managers’ everyday work, driving ongoing growth and results.

Perform Essentials introduces net new content and capabilities that go beyond what’s available in Hire and Inspire. While those products help you understand how people work, Perform Essentials brings that behavioral data into the flow of everyday work—making insights immediately actionable for managers. It delivers personalized, science-backed guidance to help leaders coach, develop, and recognize their team members in real time. With new features like Conversation Tips and Suggested Topics, Perform Essentials makes behavioral insights more practical and accessible—right where work happens, including 1:1s, group meetings, and ongoing feedback.

No formal training required! While no official training is needed, we encourage you to work with a PI Consultant to understand the basics—such as Reference Profiles, interpreting Behavioral Assessment insights, and applying behavioral data effectively through the Hire and Inspire modules, prior to implementing Perform Essentials. This simply allows you to fully understand the day to day value of behavioral insights Perform Essentials can bring you. We also have support along the way to ensure you feel confident and comfortable using the new product.

A dedicated PI consultant can help you roll out Perform Essentials through our Co-Service program. Your consultant will conduct an onboarding call with you to help set up your account and discuss an implementation and rollout strategy. With an agreed upon plan in place, your consultant will also provide you with resources for webinars, continuing education, and 30-60-90 day milestones to strive for that correlate with successful adoption.
