Performance management

70% of employees say performance management doesn’t improve performance. We don’t fix the system we fix the conversations.

Problems we solve

Where traditional performance management falls short, MindGym offers a new perspective.

Who we work with

What actually drives high performance?

Spoiler: It’s not your dashboard.  

It’s people. More specifically, six psychological conditions that drive behaviour: Purpose. Challenge. Attention. Growth. Recognition. Choice. 

When they’re baked into everyday life the quick chat, the Monday huddle, the quiet thank you performance doesn’t just improve. It sings.

Why performance management matters?

Companies have spent decades refining ratings and systems  and yet 70% of employees say performance management doesn’t work.

And they’re right. Because systems don’t drive long-lasting performance. People do. 

When done well, the proven business impact includes:  

  • Higher productivity across teams 
  • Up to 22% lower employee turnover and more internal promotions 
  • A 22% drop in patient mortality in healthcare settings  proof that better feedback can literally save lives 

Still using outdated reviews? It’s time to move forward.
