Performance management has always been a sensitive topic for both employees and employers. A poorly articulated feedback session, a thoughtless remark or an inappropriate tone during a feedback session can often set off egos and result in an unwanted consequence.

Let me begin by stating that executive hiring is no easy task. Whether you are an established organization or an emerging startup, finding CXO leaders, especially in today’s hyper-competitive business landscape, is a daunting, complex, and long process.

While the 2020-21 period saw some of the best employee stickiness scores in a long time, in the aftermath of the pandemic, we have seen a resurgent market with both, employees and employers, re-examining the concept of flexibility at work in a big way. The triggers behind this can be partly credited to changing employee priorities and a renewed focus on employee well-being.
