My session focused on confronting the critical challenges companies face: employee disengagement, biased performance evaluations, unproductive meetings, ambiguous managerial roles, and alarming employee attrition. These issues, particularly in a recession-threatened economy disrupted by COVID, necessitate a strategic reevaluation of our people and performance management methods. Drawing from my experience where an effective accountability system led to a staggering 1300% growth during an economic downturn, I'll provide insights into crafting a resilient business strategy. The key takeaway will be to introduce an equitable, effective accountability structure that drives growth and transforms your culture into one that inspires employees to embrace the mission and cultivate a more fulfilling work environment.
