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?

This year’s edition of the same report records an increasingly integrated approach to workforce analytics and warns of a potential backlash if companies go too far with people data. Somewhere in between those two sub-optimal scenarios lie the sweet spot for people analytics.

If our collective experience has taught us nothing else, it’s that modern Human Resources teams face increasingly complex challenges. On top of that, HR is disproportionately appreciated relative to the importance of their role, which is broader than many realize. It’s not all doom and gloom for People Ops, though!

Have you ever been part of a great team? A team that made you love going to work every day. A team that encouraged you to accomplish goals that you thought were near impossible. Have you ever been part of a team from hell? A team with constant conflict and disagreements. A team where everyone was too afraid to speak the truth. In his book “ The Five Dysfunctions of a Team ”, Patrick Lencioni refers to trust as a foundation and key ingredient to high performing teams.

Agility requires a change in mindset. This involves changing past traditions, habits, and behaviours. But culture is difficult to work with. Often, we panic and we question ourselves: “What is the likelihood that I will be able to positively change my organization?”. Ultimately, we talk ourselves out of making any changes because we don’t believe we can.

Employee Engagement and Company Culture. The link between engagement and company culture is not hard to find. We define culture as how and why things truly get done in an organization. We define employee engagement as the strength of the mental and emotional connection employees feel toward their places of work. Employee engagement is NOT the same thing as happiness, satisfaction, or well-being, and company culture is NOT the same thing as employee engagement.

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.
