Rethinking 'High Performance'

​Luma Copy

​At a recent Chief People Officer breakfast our speaker Julia asked the leaders sitting around the table ‘Is it time to re-brand high performance?’ Every Founder wants to build a ‘high-performance organisation’, but what does this actually mean in 2024? And isn’t this an expression that feels a bit reductionist and (quite frankly) a bit 1980s?

​In recent years we’ve seen a dramatic swing from a focus on wellbeing and fears around ‘the great resignation’ to a hyper-focus on profitability, rounds of layoffs, and calls back to the office - much of which is driving this focus on performance and results. 

​But can’t we be compassionate and commercial? Can’t we focus on results and people?

​​In this virtual panel discussion Elevayte will be joined by Julia Ingall - Chief People Officer at Many Pets and seasoned People Executive. We are going to get into this nuanced debate to explore how we should rethink and maybe even re-brand high performance.

​ We'll explore:

• ​High performance in context - where it’s come from and where it’s going

• ​​How we can move to a world of ‘and’ - compassion and commerciality; results and people

• ​Practical advice for the C Suite and Chief People Officers when positioning and implementing a ‘high performance culture’

​​Come and join us for a fascinating conversation and a chance to connect with other senior People leaders in ScaleUps.
