Performance

Performance is the realized outcome of work relative to goals and health metrics — assessed through OKR progress, KPI trends, and continuous feedback (CFRs), not only annual reviews.

Overview

OKRs inform performance conversations but should not be the sole pay formula for stretch goals. Axiean provides the data layer: progress, check-ins, KPIs, and reports.

Why it matters

Without shared performance evidence, management becomes politics.

Examples

Healthy use

Use OKR history in CFRs; keep compensation in a separate system.

Best practices

  • Separate stretch learning from pay.
  • Review both OKR progress and KPI health.

Common mistakes

Mistake
OKR score = bonus

Sandbagging.

Fix

Decouple stretch from compensation.
