If the concept of performance reviews has never sat well with you, this guide is for you. Based on research from the past 20+ years, we distill what works — and doesn't — and a better path forward.

Howdy PH folks! Claire here, CEO of Know Your Team. It's been a minute since we launched anything new for y'all... and it's because we've been working on something big the past 2 years 😅 . I'm so thrilled to share it with you today: Our Guide to Rethinking Performance Reviews. The concept of "performance reviews" has never sat well with me, personally. After all, reviews are for books, movies and restaurants – not people. So when I started to dig into why performance reviews exist in the first place + what could be better, it befuddled me that an alternative (especially for smaller organizations!) was not obvious. As a result, here at Know Your Team, we spent almost 2 years researching + writing this guide, distilling research from 20+ years, conducting our own independent research with 1,087 managers and employees to share a path forward. The result is this guide, beautifully designed + built by the inimitable James Goode (@everycopy). I'd love to know what you think – we're actively updating the guide, and so your feedback on it would be so appreciated! And, of course, please do share with any colleagues, leadership team members, or peers at other organizations who similarly might be keen to understand how to rethink performance reviews. Big thank you, in advance! ❤️

We're big fans of KYT at PlusNarrative and this is definitely something we can see integrating seamlessly into our current team culture. Thanks Claire!

This guide is incredibly valuable, I actually can't believe that Claire is sharing this information for free. I've been in HR for 10+ years and have been very passionate about humanizing work systems - performance reviews have been a particular sticking point for me. Claire + team have done all of the research and put it in a guide using layperson's language (read: accessible to everyone, not ONLY HR professionals) and provided super clear, realistic recommendations for companies looking to better enable their people. 5/5 would recommend, really appreciating that this exists.
