• No Surprises: Building Reviews Employees Can Actually Use

    No Surprises: Building Reviews Employees Can Actually Use Managers are asked to summarize months of performance, employees try to remember accomplishments from earlier in the year, and everyone hopes the conversation accurately reflects what happened.

We'll walk through how goals, feedback, and 1:1 conversations come together to create a more complete picture of performance and make review preparation easier for everyone involved. When reviews are supported by ongoing conversations and documented [...]

  • The Compounding Cost of Performance Problems

    How Organizational Friction Slows Performance Most performance problems don't appear overnight. They build gradually through unclear expectations, duplicated effort, rework, communication gaps, and competing priorities. Over time, these small points of friction consume time, drain energy, and make it harder for employees and teams to succeed. In this session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, explores how seemingly minor performance challenges can compound into larger organizational issues. Rather than focusing solely on individual performance, we'll examine the systems, habits, and workplace conditions that create friction and slow progress. We’ll dive into the hidden costs of confusion, inconsistent follow-through, and [...]

  • From Panic to Pattern: Making Feedback Routine, Not Reactive

    From Panic to Pattern: Making Feedback Routine, Not Reactive Most managers don't avoid feedback because they don't care. They avoid it because they wait. They wait for more evidence. They wait for the right time. They hope the issue resolves itself. And by the time the conversation finally happens, frustration has built, employees are surprised, and what could have been a simple discussion becomes a difficult one. In this practical session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, explores why feedback often breaks down, and not because managers lack skill, but because they lack a consistent pattern for having performance [...]

  • The Work Around the Work

    The Work Around the Work "Why Employees Spend So Much Time Doing Everything Except Their Actual Job" Every organization has work that creates value. Unfortunately, most organizations also have work that exists simply to support the work. Meetings to prepare for meetings. Reports that summarize other reports. Email chains to clarify previous email chains. Manual workarounds, duplicate data entry, and unnecessary approvals quietly consume time and attention every day. It never seems to end. Over time, these activities become part of "the way we do things," making them difficult to recognize and even harder to challenge. The result [...]

  • One Less Thing: Removing the “Workaround” with miviva

    One Less Thing: Removing the "Workaround" with miviva Performance management can create its own version of the “workaround.” Managers chase down updates, search for past conversations, recreate information, and rely on memory to keep things moving. All of that takes time away from actually managing performance. Join Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, for a practical look at how miviva can help reduce some of that extra work. We’ll explore ways to keep expectations, goals, conversations, feedback, and progress easier to find and manage as part of the everyday flow of work. See how miviva can help simplify the [...]

  • Connected Hiring: From Applicant to Employee with iRecruit, HR Actions & Sage HRMS

    Recruiting and hiring generate a lot of employee data before a new hire ever reaches HR. When recruiting and HR systems are connected, that information can keep moving instead of being re-entered at each step.

  • When the Job Changes Before the Job Description Does

    “Keeping Roles, Skills, and Expectations Aligned with the Work” Part 1 of a 2-Part Work in Motion series Jobs rarely change all at once. New technology takes over part of a process. Responsibilities shift between teams. Customer expectations evolve. Priorities change. New skills become important. Over time, the work employees are actually doing can look very different from the job the organization originally defined. When roles fail to evolve alongside the business, the effects reach well beyond an outdated job description. Organizations can end up with unclear ownership, duplicated effort, emerging skill gaps, misaligned expectations, and employees [...]

  • Managing Performance When the Target Keeps Moving

    "Keeping People, Priorities, and Performance Aligned Through Change" Part 2 of a 2-Part Work in Motion Series Once the work changes, performance expectations have to change with it. Yet goals, priorities, and measures of success often remain tied to an earlier version of the job. Employees adjust to new responsibilities while managers continue working from expectations that may no longer reflect what the organization needs. That disconnect creates more than confusion. People can spend time pursuing outdated priorities, managers can struggle to distinguish performance problems from shifting expectations, and organizations can lose alignment between individual effort and [...]
