True Innovation Takes Time
At Workforce Performance, we believe that innovation is rarely a straight path—it’s the result of curiosity, persistence, and the ability to recognize opportunity in unexpected places. Our story is a testament to that belief.
What began as a journey in theoretical physics and semiconductor engineering evolved—through decades of deep technical experience and hands-on problem solving—into a groundbreaking solution for one of the most overlooked challenges in workforce management: dynamic rate calculation.
​
Founder Ken Maloney spent over a decade in the semiconductor industry, leading complex, high-stakes manufacturing processes where precision was non-negotiable and failure was not an option. That same level of rigor and attention to detail would later shape how he approached business systems and pay processing for industries with complex compensation models.
While building software solutions for small manufacturing businesses, Ken noticed a recurring gap: traditional systems like time and attendance, ERP, and payroll platforms were not built to handle the nuanced logic of dynamic pay and bill rates. What filled that void were clunky workarounds—band-aid fixes that introduced risk, inconsistency, and cost.
​
That insight was the spark for something bigger: a platform-agnostic rate engine designed to seamlessly sit between the systems companies already use—no custom code, no workarounds. Just clean, configurable logic that delivers accuracy, transparency, and control across industries.
​
Workforce Performance was built to fill that gap. Today, we deliver a scalable, SaaS-based rate tool that helps businesses move beyond rigid software limitations and into a future of smarter, more agile workforce operations.
​
No matter your platform, no matter your industry—Workforce Performance delivers rates that work.
