Our blog focuses on practical guidance for moving from annual appraisal to an ongoing performance practice. We publish evidence-informed articles about goal architecture, manager coaching, review design, recognition frameworks, and people analytics. Each piece is written for HR leaders, people managers, and business leaders who want actionable steps rather than abstract theory. You will find templates, case examples, and measurement approaches that are immediately applicable. We also cover change management tactics that help teams adopt new rituals with minimal disruption, and we highlight indicators to track so leaders can see measurable progress. The tone is practical and human-centered: suggestions prioritize coaching frequency, clarity in expectations, and fairness in calibration to create sustained improvements in engagement and output.
We curate posts that pair problem statements with clear experiments you can run in a quarter. Each featured article provides a short diagnostic, a recommended intervention, and measurement ideas so teams know if the change worked. Our selection emphasizes low-friction pilots that scale and include manager-facing resources to ensure durability. Below are recent highlights with concise summaries to help you pick what to read first.
