Small companies don't need a 40-page competency framework — they need a lightweight, honest way to set expectations, give feedback, and address underperformance before it spreads. We build exactly that.
The single most expensive thing a small company does with performance is nothing — letting an underperformer coast because the conversation is uncomfortable. It demoralizes your best people, who notice, and it makes the eventual termination riskier because there's no record. A simple, consistent performance rhythm prevents both.
A lightweight review rhythm — quarterly or semi-annual — sized for a small company, not a copy of an enterprise process nobody will follow.
Clear, written expectations so employees know what good looks like and managers have something concrete to manage against.
We coach your managers to give direct, useful feedback continuously instead of saving it all for an annual review nobody enjoys.
When someone's underperforming, we write PIPs that genuinely aim to improve performance and — if it comes to it — create the documentation that makes a termination defensible.
We connect performance to comp decisions with a defensible framework, so raises and promotions aren't arbitrary or inconsistent.
As you grow past one manager, we help calibrate ratings across managers so 'meets expectations' means the same thing everywhere.
