What is measured

Understand the health of your people practices, processes and systems, and where to focus next.

Expectations and clarity

30%

Whether people know what good looks like in their role.

Almost every performance problem starts as an expectation that was never made explicit.

Feedback and conversations

25%

Frequency, quality and evidence in performance conversations.

Delayed feedback turns manageable issues into formal processes with cost and risk attached.

Managing underperformance

25%

Willingness and capability to address issues early and fairly.

Avoidance is expensive. It damages team performance long before it becomes an employee relations case.

Employee relations confidence

20%

Knowing where the line sits between coaching, process and escalation.

Managers acting without guidance create the majority of avoidable employee relations exposure.
