You’ve never had more performance and people data. But did it actually help your people get better? In this 2025 best-of episode of People Fundamentals, host Michelle Gouldsberry revisits standout insights from a year of conversations across the People Fundamentals podcast and the Betterworks EmpowerHR virtual summit. Hear how HR leaders are rethinking performance ratings as checkpoints, not conclusions, why metrics without context stall trust and adoption, how AI can enrich work instead of amplifying burnout, and why closing the feedback loop is what turns insight into action. This episode is a practical look at how senior HR leaders can use data with intention and humanity to drive growth in 2026 and beyond.
