Quotes: “‘What's measured gets measured,’ not ‘what's measured gets done.’ The ‘what's measured’ part, the performance measurement part of that is a whole different process with different intended outcomes. . . . [but] really frequent connections—moments of attention between, particularly, team leaders and team members, that's the performance movement, performance acceleration, however you wanna phrase that.” “[in ADP Research Institute’s 2022 People at Work Study], people who were working offsite responded more favorably to many of the items on the survey than people who were working onsite. . . . If you think about people who are not working in the same place, when [you] call them, it's usually not, 'Oh, what are you doing today? How's it going? What's the weather like, wherever you are.' It's usually really intentional.”Resources:ADP's People at Work 2022 studyContact:Amy's LinkedInDavid's LinkedInDwight's LinkedInProduction by Affogato MediaPodcast Manger: Karissa Harris To schedule a meeting with us: https://salary.com/hrdlconsulting For more HR Data Labs®, enjoy the HR Data Labs Brown Bag Lunch Hours every Friday at 2:00PM-2:30PM EST.
