Many employers in North America are already doing the work to improve their situations, the WTW survey found. In particular, they’re investing in ways to ensure managers effectively assess their direct reports’ performance. More than half (54%) currently ensure managers “engage in an ongoing and meaningful performance dialogue” with their direct reports, according to the survey.
Employers are “shaping these interactions through a combination of tactical and strategic guidance,” Alex Weisgerber, WTW’s senior director, Work & Rewards, told HR Dive in an email.
