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. But exactly how can leaders and managers support employees during times like these? Keep reading for eight strategies to help you excel at leading and motivating teams in tough times. 1. Frequent communication is key Do you shut down or rise to the occasion when something terrible happens? Employees desire a high level of communication when things can change at a moment’s notice. Your team members will also appreciate regular contact, so they don’t begin catastrophizing. If you are dealing with a difficult time at work, find ways to improve communication: Add an HR update to each team meeting.Send out quick email newsletters to update employees.Use asynchronous communication tools like Loom to share short updates.Ensure managers stick to a weekly 1:1 schedule.Provide an anonymous feedback method to get more ideas from employees.2. Be transparent about your vision and values It’s easy to let go of your vision or company values during difficult times. There’s so much happening at work that employees aren’t sure what makes sense anymore. When there’s division and change, it’s time to reaffirm your vision and ensure everyone’s on the same page about company values. This can feel overwhelming, but everyone needs to be rowing in the same direction during times of crisis. Work...

5 Employee Performance Metrics You Should Be Tracking

15Five To successfully make the journey from administrative HR to strategic HR, organizations need a roadmap — better yet, a GPS. You need to know where you’re headed, what roads can get you their fastest (with the least amount of potholes), and when to reroute when you get off course.  For Google Maps, information from satellites and users’ location data are used to triangulate your best route. For HR teams, employee performance metrics are the data you need to ensure your people strategy stays on track. Collecting and analyzing employee performance metrics allows people leaders to make more informed talent decisions, improve processes, and create a better employee experience. This data-driven approach is also an HR leader’s golden ticket to a seat at the table, and can open the door to greater influence in the organization. Keep reading for more on how to measure employee performance using key HR KPIs, and learn about five essential employee performance metrics that often go overlooked. What are employee performance metrics? Employee performance metrics are a set of measurements that can tell you how well your organization is doing in five key areas:  Hiring and retentionEmployee engagementPerformance managementManager effectivenessDiversity, equity, inclusion, & belonging (DEIB) There are two types of employee performance metrics — quantitative and qualitative — and you need a combination of both to monitor the health of your organization.  Quantitative metrics are cut-and-dry numbers and percentages commonly tracked in HRIS and performance management tools, like retention rate, goal attainment rate, and average engagement score. Qualitative metrics are more open to interpretation and include things like employees’ sense of belonging, open-ended responses on performance reviews, and post-hire feedback on candidate experience. By looking at quantitative and qualitative employee performance metrics together, you can contextualize your data and paint a more colorful picture of your...

How Upskilling Managers is Helping Houwzer Thrive in a Turbulent Market

15Five About Houwzer Houwzer is a modern, socially responsible real estate and mortgage start-up with employees all over the US. Unlike traditional brokerages, Houwzer employs salaried real estate agents and mortgage advisors, which requires a more stringent approach when it comes to monitoring individual performance. Want to learn more about 15Five? Click here to book a demo! The wrong tools cause a lack of company-wide alignment Krystal Eason, VP of People @ Houwzer, told us that before 15Five, goals were out of sight and out of mind for her ~200 employees. Eason recognized that as Houwzer was growing and transitioning to a hybrid environment their current way of organizing goals and setting them on the shelf wasn’t working. They were trying to use their HRIS to track performance objectives, but it was manual, clunky, and lacking several important features: Not intuitive for managersNo ability to see a roll-up view of goalsMinimal reportingNo visibility or connection to weekly check-insDifficult to update and easy to forgetBecause of this, they were being overlooked or forgotten about altogether. She started looking into ways to successfully roll out OKRs at the company for the first time. The team had tried introducing OKRs a year prior but it was never fully embraced by the rest of the organization because they didn’t have the right goal management tools in place to track or manage them. Weak goal alignment leads to inconsistent management practices Because managers at Houwzer did not have clarity on company-wide OKRs, they all managed their teams a bit differently when it came to setting goals and objectives, operationalizing 1-on-1’s, and connecting it all to performance management.  The HRIS software they were using was clunky, and the process required a lot of repetitive action and duplicative work, so no one prioritized it and overall goal...
