The field of human resources is changing. Among all the challenges HR professionals face, few are more important than measuring and addressing employee performance. Unfortunately, effective performance management is a topic fraught with questions: Are ongoing feedback sessions preferable to traditional annual reviews ? Should performance and compensation be discussed separately or together?

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agree : the typical formal appraisal process doesn’t work for multiple reasons: Feedback can be limited, inaccurate, or outdated.

Employee engagement activities should be more about the heart than the brain. Managers are busy, employees are disengaged, and the current office culture is at havoc. In this scenario, improving employee engagement is the least likely to grow. Despite being a trend in these past decades, the level of employee engagement has barely budged. Only a meager 15% of workers are engaged at work, globally!

For HR professionals, the melding of data science and HR practice is a relatively recent thing. It’s a complex relationship – HR professionals aren’t necessarily data scientists, and vice versa. Nevertheless, pursuing data-based decisions in HR makes a lot of sense for the business that wants to act on real information. Overall, businesses are increasingly reliant on HR departments being able to provide insights and make recommendations based on the data that they gather.

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.
