Pomello

Employee engagement surveys have been around for decades, but executives constantly tell us that they don’t know what to do with the information they receive from them.

The Way Forward: Transforming Performance Management

ATD Human Capital

It’s been a slow, painful death, but it seems that the old performance management (PM) approach is breathing its last.
