Beyond our day‐to‐day
Enhancing the employee experience

Transforming the employee experience.

In 2012, we replaced underperforming annual performance reviews with ongoing Check-in conversations between employees and their managers. The result? Voluntary attrition dropped and morale soared as employees felt more nurtured and managers felt more empowered. And now, we've open-sourced our tools and resources so other companies can start Check-in programs of their own.
