It's time to revamp the way we approach performance management and make it work for the modern workplace. While we've come a long way from relying on outdated tools like typewriters or checkbooks, our bosses continue to cling to the same annual performance review process that was outdated even 70 years ago. This approach fails miserably in our hybrid workplaces, particularly for the millennial and Gen-Z workforce. It doesn't boost performance, instead, it leads to lower employee engagement, undermines trust in management, reduces transparency, and increases turnover.

However, there is a solution. Make Work Better offers a comprehensive guide for HR, leaders, and middle managers looking to enhance employee performance, boost engagement, and cultivate a positive company culture. In this book, readers will discover effective strategies to:

• Make goals and OKRs more meaningful and relevant for everyone.
• Ditch ratings and adopt a promotion process that reflects reality and retains top talent.
• Transform check-ins into productive sessions at optimal intervals for managers and employees.
• Equip everyone with the skills to provide and receive structured and unstructured feedback more effectively.
• Recognize and reward employees in a meaningful way that drives motivation and retention.
• Leverage data to make informed people decisions and eliminate bias.
• Architect your organization to maximize the impact of HR and People Operations.
