Problem

Cognizant wanted managers to provide clearer, more actionable performance feedback through GoPerform. The existing platform supported reviews but needed better feedback-quality checks.

Approach

Cognizant worked with Microsoft to train an LSTM model using HR data on Azure Machine Learning. It checked managers' comments and provided immediate nudges about gaps. The company deployed the enhancement across the enterprise.

Results

Takeaway

The reported improvement concerned the classification of managers' written feedback. Cognizant did not report a corresponding measured improvement in employee performance.
