When Sound Transit decided to expand the light rail system in Seattle, Washington, USA, it had to find a way to tunnel under the densely populated city without disrupting life above ground.

Seattle was the second worst city in the U.S. for time commuters were stuck in traffic.

The University Link Light Rail Extension extended the light rail system 3.2 miles (5 kilometers) through underground tunnels providing relief for roadway congestion.

The rail line opened months ahead of schedule, and the project closed US$200 million under budget.

Forward thinking HR and business leaders know that effective performance management practices are critical for achieving desired business outcomes related to growth and innovation.

Betterwork’s second annual State of Continuous Performance Management Survey showed that companies with 500+ employees who have moved to continuous performance management process saw significantly improvements of key challenges associated with annual reviews.

This includes:

  • Reviews being too subjective — reduced by 34%
  • Reviews failing to improve performance — reduced by 32%
  • Managers not providing quality feedback — reduced by 39%
  • Review process doesn’t help retain top talent — reduced by 27%

This year’s survey also showed how both HR team and people managers are looking for technology to help managers improve their consistency with and impact from crucial conversations with their team members around goal setting and alignment, feedback, development and recognition.

  • 87% of HR leaders responded that managers would benefit from tech that would help them solicit and manage feedback
  • 84% say that technology helps them have the relevant conversations they need to be having with their employees
  • 82% want technology that reminds managers to have relevant conversations about performance and development with employees on a regular basis

Net net, a majority of enterprises are no longer questioning if they need to ditch annual reviews for a continuous process, but rather are now focused on how to get started.
