Divorcing compensation conversations from performance conversations enables greater honesty and transparency because people stop trying to influence their pay through their feedback. In this HCI Keynote video, a panel of professionals from Trello, Red Hat, and Pure Insurance discuss how their organizations have implemented forward-thinking performance management philosophies.

Key insights:

• Optimize each employee’s work and development to hit the sweet spot where organizational needs meet individual talents and passions.
• Use clear Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) to help employees move together in the same direction.
• Provide a safe space such as an offsite for employees to discuss hypothetical situations, share their failures, and invite different perspectives.
• Acknowledge the importance of feedback systems—the full onus of performance management should not fall solely upon the manager.
