Case Study: Deimos simplifies performance reviews and strengthens culture with PerformYard

Refueling the Deimos Culture through Automation

Deimos, a cloud-native software company based in Cape Town, South Africa, needed a better way to manage performance reviews after relying on a basic Google Doc checklist with little structure or workflow. The team wanted a simple, customizable performance management platform that could support high-quality conversations, goals, core values, and future features like 360 reviews and continuous feedback. PerformYard was selected as the performance management solution alongside BambooHR.

With PerformYard, Deimos built an automated, customized review process with six-month check-ins, annual reviews, goal setting, qualitative feedback, and questions tied to company values. According to Lizanne Jansen van Vuuren, the system is easy for employees to use and has improved administrative tracking and performance conversations across the organization. While no hard metrics were provided, Deimos reported better growth discussions, clearer review records, and a stronger performance culture thanks to PerformYard.
