Getting a 36% uplift in performance from quality performance conversations

from The Coaching Cafe Podcast · host Open Door Coaching

Performance conversations aren’t just a HR requirement – they are an opportunity to drive real engagement. Research shows that when managers focus on strengths during performance conversations, it can lead to a 36.5% uplift in performance. That’s not all - engagement increases, productivity rises, and absenteeism drops. When we first came across this data years ago, we said, “Tell us more!” It was the beginning of our commitment to a strengths-based approach to coaching and one that has grown in relevance as we look at the low engagement scores across our workplaces. Today, workplaces are under pressure. People feel tired, under-valued, and stretched. But this is exactly where coaching makes the difference. Especially when it comes to the annual performance review. Therefore, join Natalie and Paula for our Coaching Café Podcast this week as we share: The power of strengths-based conversations How coaching shifts the tone of performance reviews Practical tools to help your team leave energised - not deflated And we turn performance reviews into a genuine engagement strategy.
