Connect Rippling to Betterworks so OKR goal alignment, performance check-ins, and review cycles reflect your live org structure — with manager hierarchies, new hire goal assignments, and offboarding driven automatically from Rippling.
thePeopleStack configures the Rippling–Betterworks integration with manager hierarchy sync that keeps the OKR alignment cascade accurate as the org evolves. We set up hire-triggered goal assignment so new employees receive role-appropriate onboarding goals from their start date, and configure offboarding to remove departed employees from active goal cycles and performance reviews at termination.
For clients using Betterworks' performance calibration and compensation planning features alongside Rippling's compensation data, we advise on connecting performance outcomes in Betterworks to compensation change events in Rippling — ensuring the performance review cycle and merit increase process are linked rather than running as disconnected annual events.

Betterworks OKR and performance management is deployed by thePeopleStack's Rippling clients primarily for US employee populations, with goal-setting cycles, check-in cadences, and performance review configurations structured around US org hierarchies and Rippling's US employee data.
Canadian and cross-border operations: Canadian employees are provisioned into Betterworks through the same Rippling sync, with thePeopleStack confirming PIPEDA-relevant data handling for employee performance data and ensuring that performance review configurations account for any Canadian provincial employment standards that affect performance documentation practices.
Rippling provisions Betterworks user accounts at hire with the correct department, team, and manager assignment. Manager hierarchy data from Rippling drives Betterworks' goal alignment structure and check-in pairing. Termination in Rippling deactivates the Betterworks account and removes the departed employee from active goal cycles and performance review processes.
Yes. Rippling's manager hierarchy is the primary organizational input for Betterworks' goal alignment tree — ensuring OKRs cascade correctly from company goals through department goals to individual contributors based on the actual reporting structure. When manager changes occur in Rippling, Betterworks' alignment structure updates automatically rather than requiring manual reconfiguration of the goal cascade.
Yes. New hire events in Rippling trigger Betterworks onboarding goal assignment — ensuring new employees receive 30/60/90-day goals and their first performance check-in is scheduled automatically from their start date. Role-specific goal templates can be triggered based on Rippling job title and department data.
Betterworks performance data — goal completion rates, check-in frequency, and performance review scores — can be exported and analyzed alongside Rippling workforce attributes including department, tenure, manager, and compensation band. This enables HR to identify correlations between performance outcomes and workforce factors that Betterworks alone can't provide context for.
A standard configuration covering employee provisioning, manager hierarchy sync, goal alignment structure, and offboarding deprovisioning typically takes 3–5 hours. Betterworks deployments with custom OKR cycle configurations, multi-level goal alignment structures, or performance calibration workflows tied to Rippling compensation data may require additional scoping.
