Performance Management
Setting expectations, monitoring progress, and improving performance
Rypple Surfaces This When...
- Commitment tracking shows more than 25% of your team's action items are overdue — performance expectations may not be landing with the right weight
- MeetingHQ summaries show you haven't given structured feedback to a team member in 3+ sessions — performance conversations are going undocumented
- A team member's People Layer profile shows goal progress hasn't been updated in 30+ days — performance management has gone passive
What to Do Right Now
- →When Rypple flags overdue commitments or unaddressed performance gaps in your 1:1 summaries, act on the Performance Management coaching to address whether it's a clarity, capability, or motivation issue
- →Use the 'Draft SBI Feedback' Booster to write specific, behavior-based feedback you can deliver in your next 1:1
- →Enable the pre-1:1 progress request automation so team members send updates 24 hours before every meeting — you walk in informed, not interrogating
- →Use the 'Prepare Performance Review' Booster to build a structured review conversation that covers performance honestly and constructively

Why It Matters
Performance management isn't about annual reviews—it's about continuous clarity on expectations, regular feedback, and course correction. CEB (now Gartner) research shows that organizations that shift from annual to continuous performance management see 14% improvement in employee performance. Done well, it turns good teams into great ones. Done poorly, it's the #1 reason employees disengage.

How do I give regular performance feedback without making it feel like constant surveillance?
Frame feedback as information, not judgment. 'Here's what I noticed about the client presentation—the technical depth was excellent; the time management ran 10 minutes over and I could see the room losing energy' is observation, not evaluation. Keep feedback specific, timely, and tied to visible behaviors rather than character.
How do I manage a high performer who's also difficult to work with?
Separate the performance conversation from the behavior conversation—they require different approaches. Acknowledge the performance genuinely first. Then address the specific behaviors causing problems tied to concrete impacts: 'Your work output is excellent. When you cut people off in meetings, I've noticed other team members stop contributing.'
