Performance Management: Assess or Unleash Research Report
BlessingWhite
Performance management is business process which appears stuck in a bygone age is that of performance management. This activity remains broadly disliked, cumbersome, often demotivating, and a major time drain. Moreover, it most often falls short on what it was designed to do, which is to manage performance. Individuals, managers and executives alike have little faith in the process when it comes to improving individual performance.

This activity remains broadly disliked, cumbersome, often demotivating, and a major time drain. Moreover, it most often falls short on what it was designed to do, which is to manage performance. Individuals, managers and executives alike have little faith in the process when it comes to improving individual performance.
Today, a number of pioneering companies have decided to take a new approach, returning to the roots of the process: set expectations around individual contribution, track performance, then provide guidance and support (and occasionally remediation) for improving performance over time. Rather than lean on forms and assessments, these companies are relying on coaching, development and forward-looking approaches to achieve high performance across teams.Other authorsSee publication -
Satisfaction and Contribution: The Virtuous Circle
BlessingWhite
Organizations are looking for maximum contribution from each and every employee. Employees are looking to achieve maximum satisfaction at work. This much we can take for granted. And when both of these are achieved at the same time, we find a highly engaged workforce and a thriving organization.

Don't Panic! Why leaders stay calm – and keep others calm – under pressure.
BlessingWhite
Good leaders keep a cool head even when the situation provokes an emotional reaction. Great leaders also help everybody else stay calm and contribute to the team with rational and objective input rather than emotionally laden statements. They achieve this through self-awareness and active listening skills, both of which can be developed though practice.

ExecSense
B2B Marketing teams are under pressure to deliver results on many fronts: Search Engine visibility, thought leadership, generating high-quality leads, creating de novo content that makes the sales force look good in front of clients, get invites to conferences, or creating pull-marketing where clients invite you in to discuss a topic close to their heart…

Any organization with a keen sense of marketing today is promoting itself through social media, and the field is very crowded. Social media feeds on fresh newsworthy content, but often the effort to generate that content results in little traction because of social media’s short shelf-life. Many of the ‘shortcut’ approaches such as outsourcing your online visibility to a content-farm will not get you far: your competitors are all doing this, too. Only high-quality, original and compelling content will cut through the noise: content your clients want, will actively look for, and are willing to share with their peers.
There are few activities that can help you tackle all of these fronts at once, but adding proprietary research to your portfolio of activities might achieve just that.
In the following chapter, I will share with you an approach to using research (and published research reports) as part of your marketing efforts. I will highlight where we saw the biggest returns, and some of the pitfalls we have avoided (or failed to avoid) along the way. If your firm has never turned to research as a way of galvanizing clients around a topic in which you have (at least some) expertise, then this chapter should give you a road map to think this through. -
the Employee Engagement Report
BlessingWhite
In the Employee Engagement Report, we share a brief overview of engagement levels worldwide, the engagement-retention connection, key drivers, and the ways that behaviors of managers and senior leaders influence engagement.
We also explore the specific roles and responsibilities of the workforce in building a more engaged organization. Our focus: individual employees, managers, and executives. These three roles are incremental, depending on someone's level in the organization.Other authorsSee publication -
