What HR Performance Solutions does

HR Performance Solutions (HRPS) is a Livonia, Michigan-based HR technology and consulting firm founded in 1989 and operating as a subsidiary of CUSG (CU Solutions Group), a credit-union-focused services conglomerate. The company sells an integrated cloud-based HR software suite — Performance Pro (performance management), Compease (compensation planning with salary survey data), The Learning Center / TLC (LMS), HR Suite Plus (compliance and policy management), Leadership Development, and the Microsoft Teams-embedded Engagement and Recognition apps — primarily to credit unions and mid-market employers, with a stated base of 1,500-2,000+ client organizations. HRPS is rebranding to Navari in July 2025, repositioning itself as a unified platform spanning HR, experience, marketing technology, and digital experience under CUSG.

The underlying technology stack is a cloud-based HR platform with native Microsoft Teams embedding for engagement, recognition, and performance workflows, two-way data sync between Teams and Performance Pro, and integrations with Tremendous (reward fulfillment, 1,800+ gift card options) and the O*NET database (job description content). The company is preparing Q3 2025 launches of generative AI features (natural-language querying of recognition and engagement data) and advanced analytics with team/department/organizational visualizations, signaling a shift from workflow automation to intelligence-driven HR insights.

HRPS operates a sales-led, enterprise field-sales model supplemented by an inside sales team and a partner marketplace (HRPS Marketplace) for complementary HR technology vendors. Revenue is generated through per-employee-per-month annual subscriptions (Pick 1: $3-$7, Pick 2: $5-$9, Pick 3: custom), with Net 60 payment terms, revenue share for marketplace partners, and consulting services from a team of HR and compensation specialists. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures.
