Many organizations still treat performance management as one long annual review. The data shows that approach is falling behind. In this webinar, the PerformYard team walks through key findings from their 2027 State of HR Report, which draws on five years of data from more than 400 organizations and a survey of 300+ HR teams. Learn why shorter forms used more often get higher completion and richer feedback, how adding just one more review cycle and setting a continuous feedback goal can improve your process, and where AI fits in helping managers keep up.
