Culture Amp has unveiled a new report that flips the script on high performance in the workplace. Their findings reveal that it’s not just about recruiting ‘superstar’ team members; instead, it’s all about setting the right conditions for everyone to thrive. With only 2% of employees sustaining high performance over time, leadership needs to create systems that support natural ebbs and flows in productivity.
Key Points
- High performance is often a result of carefully designed organisational conditions rather than innate talent.
- Only 2% of employees maintain high performance over multiple reviews, indicating its cyclical nature.
- Employee engagement significantly correlates with high performance, with more engaged teams seeing higher outputs.
- Feedback culture plays a crucial role, with high performers valuing feedback more than their lower-performing colleagues.
- Leadership directly influences team performance, with strong leaders translating to high-performing teams.
