Cadence looks different depending on where you sit. The IC sees their career path and coaching. The manager sees their team health and 1:1 workspace. The CHRO sees the whole organization — in one view. Same platform, different lenses.
Management quality varies wildly across organizations. Some ICs get a manager who coaches them, advocates for them, and develops them deliberately. Most get someone who is too busy, too inconsistent, or too conflict-averse to be honest.
Cadence doesn't fix your manager — it creates a system where good management happens by default, not by luck. Your goals are visible. Your 1:1s are documented. Your feedback is captured. Your career path is explicit. Nobody can conveniently forget what was said or promised.
"I spent 18 months at my last company not knowing if I was on track for a promotion or heading toward a PIP. Nobody told me. There was no system. Cadence changes that — everything is visible."
Every 1:1 you've ever had with your manager — documented, searchable, private. Never lose context from a conversation again.
See your goals and their status in real time. Surfaces in every 1:1 so they stay active — not forgotten after the kickoff meeting.
After every 1:1, you get private coaching on the conversation — separate from what your manager receives. How to communicate better. How to get more from the relationship.
Your role definition and growth path are always visible. You know exactly what's expected at your level and what you'd need to grow to the next.
Give and receive recognition tied to values. Your recognition history is yours — it follows your tenure and supports performance reviews.
Pulse and engagement surveys designed for anonymous honesty. Your signal contributes to org health without identifying you.
Good management is hard. It requires you to be consistent, observant, coaching-oriented, and data-informed — all while doing your actual job. Most managers fail not because they don't care, but because they have no system.
Cadence is the system. Run your 1:1s here. Track your goals here. See your team's 9-box here. Know who you're over-correcting and under-recognizing before it becomes a problem. Get coaching after every meeting — private, specific, and based on what was actually said.
"I've been a manager for six years. I thought I was good at it. The first month with Cadence showed me three relationships I was managing on autopilot that needed real attention. The AI coaching isn't harsh — it's just honest."
Structured agendas, shared with your direct report. Both parties contribute topics. Nothing slips through the cracks.
After every 1:1, private coaching: what you said well, what you could have handled differently, what to follow up on. For you only.
See your calibration ratings in context. Understand where each direct report sits and what the appropriate next step is — retain, develop, or address.
Your 5:1 ratio — real time, tracked, and visible to your manager. Know if you're running low before your leadership sees it first.
See every direct report's goal status at a glance. Surface blockers in 1:1s while there's still time to address them.
Aggregated survey results with team-level attribution. You see your team's engagement signal — and so does your manager.
Senior leaders are accountable for outcomes produced by people they don't directly manage. They need signal without micromanagement — the ability to see what's happening across their chain without having to ask or infer.
Cadence's L2 dashboard aggregates every relevant signal: 1:1 compliance, recognition ratios, ER activity, survey results, goal health, and 9-box calibration status — across every manager in your chain. You see the picture before problems escalate.
"I used to find out about management problems through resignations and complaints. Now I find out 90 days earlier, when the data starts showing the pattern. That's the difference between intervention and damage control."
See every manager in your org reporting chain: 1:1 compliance, recognition ratio, ER activity, effectiveness composite — in one dashboard.
AI surfaces managers trending downward across multiple signals before problems become visible in attrition or formal ER cases.
Submit your 9-box ratings independently, see calibration convergence across the team, and get coached on where your view diverges from L1s.
Know who your Key Value Drivers are, where they're positioned, and whether they're in an environment likely to retain them.
Engagement and pulse results broken down by manager — see which teams are healthy and which need leadership attention.
See the goal status for all teams in your chain. Identify blockers that are sitting unresolved before they affect delivery.
The CHRO's traditional view is backwards-looking: turnover reports, ER case counts, survey summaries published weeks after they're conducted. It tells you what happened, not what's happening.
Cadence gives the CHRO an operational command center — real-time visibility into the management activity driving the outcomes they're responsible for. ER pipeline, active PIPs, 9-box cycle progress, survey campaigns, merit cycle status, and the Culture Scorecard all in one view.
"The ROI conversation is easy. We replaced 15Five, Lattice, and our internal survey tool. But the real value isn't cost — it's that I can now answer questions I couldn't before. What's our manager effectiveness score? Which teams are at risk? Who are our KVDs and are they at risk of leaving?"
Composite org health score connecting every signal source. Board-ready reporting. Trend lines, not just snapshots.
All active cases, PIPs, and formal investigations in one view. Full case history connected to management record from day one.
9-box cycle progress across the entire org. Participation rates, divergence patterns, KVD nominations, intervention workflows.
Launch and manage survey campaigns across the org. Results broken down by manager, team, tenure, and level.
AI early warning at the individual and team level — before someone accepts a competing offer. Act while there's still time.
Replace 15Five, Lattice, Culture Amp, and more. See the cost and contract consolidation in the pricing calculator.
