What’s in the name?
Pace — the rhythm of recognition, coaching, and growth. VIO — the system that gets you there.
Visibility
Managers finally see what’s happening with their team.
Insight
Pulse checks, recognition patterns, clarity themes.
Outcomes
Growth paths, milestones, retention.
When’s the last time you lost someone you really didn’t want to lose?
Replacing an employee costs 50–200% of their annual salary. The problem is never a surprise in hindsight — someone stopped growing, stopped feeling recognized, or stopped seeing a future here. PaceVIO gives you the system to see it coming.
These conversations happen every week.
Real questions from managers using tools that weren’t built for this.
“Who actually configures your review cycles — and how many got finished last year?”
“How long does a manager spend on check-ins each week? Are employees actually filling them out?”
“When's the last time a manager caught a flight risk before it became a resignation letter?”
“What does a manager actually do with the results after the survey closes?”
“How many hours did your IT team spend setting it up — and do managers even open it?”
“When's the last time you lost someone you really didn't want to lose?”
Other tools report on your team.
PaceVIO helps you manage them.
Every person on your team is different. Good managers already know that. PaceVIO gives you the context to act on it — without telling you how to manage.
- ✕Your engagement score dropped 8 points.
- ✕60% of check-ins were completed this week.
- ✕Your team rates clarity at 6.4/10.
- ✕Collaboration hours are trending high.
A number. No context. No next step. You’re on your own.
- ✓Alex thrives on public recognition. Sarah prefers a direct, private word. PaceVIO helps you show up right for both.
- ✓Jordan's Day 90 is tomorrow. You know them best — PaceVIO makes sure you don't miss the moment.
- ✓Your pulse closed. Three people raised clarity as a theme. The conversation is yours — PaceVIO just gives you the context.
- ✓Marcus just hit one year. PaceVIO shows you where he's grown so you can have a real growth conversation.
Context, not commands. Your judgment. PaceVIO’s support.
Everything in one place
Recognition that sticks
Send meaningful, specific recognition in seconds. Post it to your team board, Slack, or email. AI drafts the message — you own the sentiment.
Milestone tracking
Day 1, Day 30, Day 90, Year 1 — PaceVIO reminds you before the moment passes, not after. Alerts you when an employee is 14+ days overdue for recognition.
Growth paths
Give every employee a clear map from where they are to where they can go. Define tiers, track skills, and make the conversation easy.
Pulse checks
3-question team health surveys sent to your team, closed in 48 hours, summarized by AI. Know how your team is really feeling without a two-hour all-hands.
Team & company goals
Set goals at the team or company level, track progress in real time, and connect individual work to the bigger picture.
Manager coach
AI-generated recognition drafts, pulse summaries, and weekly digests — so managers who care but are short on time can still show up for their team.
Not another HR platform
Enterprise tools built for CHROs. PaceVIO built for the manager who doesn’t have an HR team.

Why not just use Microsoft Viva?
Microsoft is building in this direction. Here’s why that doesn’t affect you.
Built for enterprise IT departments
Viva requires Azure AD configuration, a certified consultant to deploy, and hours of training to use. A 35-person company can't wade through the Microsoft admin center to turn on manager prompts. PaceVIO sets up in one afternoon.
No Slack? No Viva.
Most growth-stage companies run on Slack, Google Workspace, and Notion. Microsoft builds exclusively to lock you into Teams and Office 365. If your team is Slack-first, Microsoft is practically invisible to you.
Data, not action
Microsoft might tell a manager "your team's collaboration hours are trending high." PaceVIO says "Sarah crushed the Henderson project — click here to send this specific, warm thank-you note." That distinction is everything.
HR language for HR people
Viva is packed with compliance language, organizational network analysis, and corporate KPIs. PaceVIO speaks like a helpful peer, not a legal department. First-time managers find Viva cold and intimidating — PaceVIO is built for them.
Simple, flat pricing
No per-seat fees. No surprises.
Your first five new hires this quarter cost you nothing extra in software.
