When it comes to the best way to do performance reviews, there’s no shortage of debates. One topic that has come up recently is the best way for employees to have a voice in their performance review process, if at all, with diverse opinions on both how and why to do it. When referring to self-reflection, what we mean is giving employees a formal way to include their perspective in the performance review process. In this article, we’ll review the arguments for and against self-reflection and give a research-backed recommendation on how to incorporate self-reflections.&nb ..read more

Your recent employee survey revealed that only 80% of your staff is actively engaged in their work. You’re ready to sound the alarm bells with your leadership team to figure out why a whopping 20% of your workforce is just punching the clock and biding their time until they can move on.
Our data shows that, worldwide, companies see an average engagement rate of just 70%. When you have that as your baseline, it’s easier to see that you’re actually outperforming others – and maybe it isn’t time to call a fire drill quite yet.
That anecdote is proof that at its most ..read more

The following report is meant to provide some insight into where we’ve made progress over the year, and is our first version of transparency for candidates, our customers, and the broader world.

The pandemic has somewhat shielded us from living with Brexit “in real life.” We haven’t been able to travel, we haven’t been able to participate in small talk with colleagues, and as People Professionals, we have focused solely on getting through it over the last 12 months. However, as we start to see the (vaccine) light at the end of the (lockdown) tunnel, we now have the space to dedicate time and attention to Brexit and explore what it means for our businesses.

When your business faces tough times, periods of change, major setbacks, or a global pandemic, for example, there are often many things that are out of your control. While challenges are inevitable, fixating on and worrying about the external factors you can’t control isn’t a productive way to spend your time. Instead, concentrate your efforts on things you can control, like making your workplace more resilient.
Over the last year, we’ve seen the importance of resilience, agility, and humanity in the workplace. Remote work blurred the boundaries between personal and pro ..read more

Turnover: it’s an important metric for any organization’s health and one that executives across the business often scrutinize. If you feel confused answering questions like, “why are employees leaving,” you’re not alone. It’s hard to know what’s right when the research is flip-flopping, suggesting one minute that employees leave because of managers, and the next, that’s not the case. We at Culture Amp have even weighed in on this debate in the past. If your head is spinning, don’t worry. Ours was, too.
So we undertook our largest study on employee turnover to date ..read more

With a year of remote working under our belt, chances are it’s time to find new and creative ways to recognize your team for a job well done, connect after a long week, or just hit refresh on that Zoom happy hour.
Your employees have spent the past year adjusting to new work styles and juggling the blending of their personal and professional lives. They’ve been dealing with burnout, struggling with dependent care, financial insecurities, racial and social unrest, and of course, a worldwide pandemic. They’re likely feeling farther away from their teams than ever ..read more

The pandemic has had a profound impact on the modern workplace in the last year. Nearly overnight, the pandemic made remote work the new norm, and it accelerated the digital transformation of many businesses.

That paired with feelings of isolation and uncertainty has led to increased anxiety, stress, and depression among employees.
More than a year into the pandemic, it’s clear certain aspects of our new normal will stick around long after we return to the office. Now is the time for ..read more
