Performance Matters
As you will read in this month’s issue, the meaning of performance is evolving. Performance is no longer just about whether an employee is doing a poor, adequate, or superior job: now it can encompass an organization’s performance in the marketplace, its contribution to environmental sustainability, and the value it places on employees. Companies that provide the most opportunity for employees’ personal and professional growth will flourish in today’s competitive environment where retaining talent is paramount.
