2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Culture is a marathon, not a sprint. But in recent years, a trend has developed around treating culture as a commodity — one that can be purchased and distributed. Like a well-stocked mini kitchen and weekly happy hours. In many ways, it makes sense to the C-Suite. Competition for top talent has become increasingly fierce, and cool perks and rewards , high salaries, and unlimited PTO seem a simple way to win people over.

What are you good at? I mean really good at? Oddly enough, that’s not usually the focus of most employee reviews. Traditionally, these reviews focus on two things: 1) what you’ve done in the past and 2) where you need to improve. Maybe that is why traditional annual employee reviews are not effective. Managers, employees, and HR all agree : the typical formal appraisal process doesn’t work for multiple reasons: Feedback can be limited, inaccurate, or outdated.

You’ve likely already heard that OKRs should not be tightly coupled with employee evaluation and compensation. The biggest reason for this is that your team will stop “shooting for the moon.” But more accurately, coupling the OKR and performance review can lead to overstated accomplishments, stunted innovation, and sand-bagging of goals. OKR goals work best when they stretch and push your people to become ambitious and self-driven.
