Summary: HR Happy Hour 226 - BetterWorks and Modern Performance Management Recorded Friday, December 4, 2016 Hosts: Steve Boese, Trish McFarlane Guest: Kris Duggan, CEO and Co-Founder, BetterWorks This week on the show, Steve and Trish were joined by Kris Duggan from BetterWorks, a leading HR technology solution that helps organizations create and align individual and team goals, drive improved performance through increased conversations and coaching, and provide a platform to support what could be called 'modern' performance management. A 2015 trend, and one that is likely to continue in 2016, is organizations moving away from the traditional and annual peformance review and employee rating and moving towards the adoption of more frequent, ongoing, agile, and coaching-oriented performance management platforms. Kris shared his thoughts on the topic from his perspective working with BetterWorks customers and partners. This conversation is one that can help HR leaders as they think about evolving and modernizing their performance management processes in 2016. Additionally, Trish talked about her recent trip and keynote presentation at an HR event in Dubai, Steve shared the important Pantone 'Color of the Year' selections for 2016, and in a 'big' announcement, the HR Happy Hour twitter account passed 20,000 followers this week! This was a great conversation and show - big thanks to Kris Duggan for joining us this week.
