Did you know that 63% of workers who receive low-quality feedback are likely to quit within the next year? 
Performance feedback isn’t just an HR problem, it’s a business problem. And in this week’s pod, Hebba’s sitting down with Kieran Snyder, CEO and Co-founder of Textio, to dive deep into the world of performance management and fairness in the workplace. 
Is being labeled an overachiever really just coded language for exceeding management’s low expectations? And what role can accountability and quality feedback play in creating a fairer system?  
Kieran sheds light on the vicious cycle between performance feedback and confirmation bias and explains why true accountability at all levels is essential. She unpacks how women and people of color often face different feedback standards than other groups, and reveals why management must face the same performance standards as everyone else in order for a system to truly be equitable.  
And stay tuned to discover how Textio is working to bridge the gap between HR leaders' intent for fairness and the tools available to them.
