How Clearbit minimizes turnover with proactive performance management

15Five Ruchi Banerjee is the Head of People Engagement and Inclusion at Clearbit. A focus on growth and development leads to investing in performance management Clearbit has always been invested in growth & development and 15Five was the tool they needed to enhance performance management and employee growth. Clearbit’s leadership team wanted to ensure that employees felt confident in how they were performing, and that they knew what successful growth and development could look like at the company. In order for employees to stay, they need to see a way for themselves to progress their careers in-house or they might seek that next job transition or promotion elsewhere. With rapid year over year growth, retaining high-performing employees was important, so they decided to formalize their performance management processes and look for a platform to help them. After evaluating several vendors, the Clearbit leadership team ultimately decided to work with 15Five because of the personal care they received during their trial period. “15Five’s team really stood out to us in the process. With different vendors they might be slightly different in the features that they offer but the amount of support and guidance we’ve received with 15Five has been incredible.” 15Five creates the space for career development conversations to flourish After implementing 15Five, and specifically leveraging the Best Self Kick-off, conversations about career development and growth became the norm. Before 15Five, any performance discussions were hyper-focused on how the previous week had gone, and could often regress into conversations about simple task management or behavior modification. By taking a more holistic approach to performance management, Ruchi has noticed that employees are now having meaningful discussions about the next 6+ months during their Best Self Reviews, there have been conversations that have led to creating new jobs, finding better fit roles, and...

8 Tips for Leading Through Difficult Times

15Five These last few years can be summed up with the word “unprecedented.” As much as we’ve used that word lately, it still rings true in 2022. Recently, we’ve seen drastic changes in companies. Layoffs have been happening all across the United States (and internationally), and leaders are still being forced to grapple with keeping employees engaged and performing in tough times. Leading through difficult times like layoffs can be a true test of your abilities as a manager or executive. Employees need leaders who can step up and act during challenging times.

When there’s division and change, it’s time to reaffirm your vision and ensure everyone’s on the same page about company values.
