Let's start here: Growth work is some of the hardest work we'll ever do.
It requires practicing vulnerability and active listening at the same time, which absorb a lot of mental capacity when flying a plane full of passengers. And when you're enroute to an entirely new destination like the present times, the visibility of air traffic is even more critical to landing.
That's where we come in. Our People Analytics Dashboard (PAD) is your cockpit to monitor behavioral signals across your organization. Understanding where your members are in their growth journey and what this means can help you create optimal employee experiences that foster high-performing teams.
It's safe to say we're all flying to a new destination with the honor (and pressure) of helping others live with greater clarity, passion, and purpose. To that end, we've upgraded our PAD and member experience to help you capture the metrics that matter most and maximize the impact of your BetterUp program. Use this guide to navigate the latest additions to your PAD key features and get a preview of what's improved for your members' experience.

The all-new intelligent homepage curates an entirely personalized dashboard – where you can visualize member engagement and see the impact it's driving. Beyond usage and satisfaction data, you'll gain deeper insights into the health of your organization and the well-being of your people.
Upon logging onto PAD, you'll notice we've simplified the interface to guide an intuitive experience that curates the most relevant insights to you. The simplified navigation bar is divided into three tabs you can easily navigate across the top.
Curated exclusively for our partners, this section will feature guidance and resources specifically tailored to help you expertly manage your BetterUp program. Resources will include education on people analytics, helpful checklists, peer-to-peer stories, and more. Let your Customer Success Manager know if there's something specific you'd like to see in the future.
Reporting insights for you will surface three highly relevant data points across your organization. Your homepage overview will highlight a growth metric, engagement, and satisfaction track to get a pulse on program performance. To dive deeper into these components, select the report you're interested in or click "see all reports" in the top right corner.
Curated Stories and Population Heat maps

Curated stories allow you to dig into the unique outcome metrics and people insights relevant to your solution with BetterUp. These qualitative insights help you go deep on data based on our Whole Person Model and explain behavioral shifts to competencies and outcomes that matter to you, allowing you to understand and demonstrate the impact on talent.
Our new heat map feature surfaces data based on segments relevant to your business, comparing populations so you know where to focus development efforts as a leader.
Use this section to walk through the varying insights previously only available in QBRs.
Reporting Insights: Your Curated Stories
When selecting the reporting tab, you'll notice a section on curated stories now sits at the top of your insights. Specifically, this is where you can better understand what behavioral signals lead to the metrics you're seeing and why. Additionally, you can now view your benchmark data against all of BetterUp's member population or a specific industry or role.
At the top, we can filter by what's relevant to your company and context. For example, maybe you just expanded to APAC markets and want to filter to that population specifically; you can do that here.
PAD heat maps and filtering are powered by our secure and easy to implement HCM integrations. Connecting BetterUp with your HCM via API or SFTP integration ensures your PAD views are always and effortlessly accurate, and lets you compare behavioral insights and results by demographics like role, tenure or location..
Usage & Engagement
The usage page lets you view exactly what engagement is like across your population. For example, we typically see about 80% engagement in the last 30 days, sometimes higher. This has much more usage than your average learning program – because your people are getting an entirely personalized, holistic experience to which they want to return.
Member Satisfaction
In this context, member satisfaction refers to the session quality area because this is direct member feedback confirming if it is a positive experience. Across all people who use BetterUp, we see 75% of sessions rated as either Amazing or Life-Changing.
Trending Topics
If you're curious about what patterns are surfacing across coaching discussions, this section provides an aggregate view of what members are navigating. You can view month-to-month what's happening at a macro level and within your business context and what your members are talking about to navigate.
This information is powerful because it allows organizations to better support their people by truly understanding what they are working through. This data can be used to understand what their people want and need to make informed decisions on employee programs.
Our people analytics data is core to who you are as an organization and how coaching programs impact your culture. To quickly and easily share these insights with others in the company, select the download page to export your report.
